This week on the Fired Up Sport podcast Women's sport has seen its first casualty due to the financial fall out from the coronavirus pandemic. AFC Fylde, who play in the third tier of women's football in the UK, have been disbanded. The chairman said it was due to the "ongoing fluid situation regarding the virus". The team were not only shell shocked but disappointed they weren't consulted about other ways of financing the team before the plug was pulled; they were told just fifteen minutes before the club released a statement to the press. We caught up with Assistant Manager Kimberley Turner and former team manager Luke Swindlehurst to get their reaction to the news and hear how they think women's football can future proof itself from further financial shocks.
