Nottingham Forest Ladies are in serious danger of going out of business. The
Reds need to raise �300 over the next three months just to be able to afford
training and travel costs. If the Club fail to secure some financial support
soon, then thirty seven years of history could come to an end. Chairwoman
Paula Andrews said: "We do get help from Forest, but with the Club being in
League One finances are tighter. We are going for promotion to the Women's
Premier League where we can pit ourselves against the really big team's in
women's football like the Arsenals and Charltons, but unless we get
sponsorship we won't just have no success, we will have no club." 10 September 2020 |
