West Ham United Ladies have today set up a page on GoFundMe and are asking for any financial support for the current season.
The Ladies side are a totally self-funded team that play in the FA Women’s Premier League Southern Division and various cup competitions. All the current players and staff, including first team manager Julian Dicks, are all completely voluntary and take no payment for their services.
All the players have recently been asked for a generous donation towards the running costs of the club (kit, pitch fees, equipment costs), but are also asking whether fans would like to help support the women’s club by making a small donation.
On behalf of the players and staff at West Ham Ladies, I’d like to thank you for your time reading this and assure you that any support is greatly appreciated by everyone at the club.

Also, the club have a variety of sponsorship packages still available. For details, please contact @westhamladies or @JULIAN3DICKS on Twitter, or leave a comment below and I’ll get in contact with you directly.
Note from Iain: It’s hard to believe that the West Ham Ladies team aren’t fully funded by the club, bearing in mind that this season we’re getting £74 million from Mr Murdoch. It seems ridiculous that WHU Ladies aren’t getting even a few thousand of that. If only 1% of the people who read this blogpost they’d easily raise the £10,000 they need to cover the season’s costs. So come on, get your credit cards out and click HERE . It will take you two minutes to do, and you’ll make Iron Liddy a very happy woman.
