What level do Ipswich women play at?

Don’t keep me wrong, great that they’re wining, but how far down the leagues are they?

Is this effectively division 3? So the championship next and then WSL?

RIP Sir Bobby

Yes. The 3rd tier is split into north and south divisions and like you asked The Championship and WSL are above them. The top team from each regional division are promoted to The Championship (I think).

3rd tier, but it's not particularly low down

12 in WSL
11 in Championship (as Reading went bust)
12 in our league and 12 in the northern equivalent

So effectively we are in the division with clubs ranked from 24th to 47th in the pyramid so men's football wise it is basically the Championship.....and hopefully be in the 13th to 24th ranked division next season

Sadly I was too stupid to go to that gig but looking at the Wikipedia page for The Blockheads I reckon that the drummer around that time was Charlie Charles. I did see Ian Dury as part of Kilburn and the Highroads though, when they supported Brinsley Schwarz at the Baths Hall in 1975. I had thought that Charles was the drummer on that occasion too but Wikipedia tells me it was David Rohoman. Must be correct because they say he used crutches (to walk with, not to drum with) and the sight of Dury taking to the stage walking with a stick and then the drummer shambling on didn't fill our teenage hopes for an explosive performance. How wrong we were.

The man behind the bar in the pub we were in near Coventry was the father of Abbie Lafayette.

She now plays for Sheffield United in the Championship.

He said she isn't very well paid at that level.

Two iconic (but at the time likely little known) pub rock bands, a genre which was a pre-cursor in many ways to UK punk.

But I don't think punk (in the sense of very fast basic rock music) would have emerged without the Ramones. They were certainly a big influence on Joe Strummer of the 101ers, and according to him encouraged UK bands to speed up.

EDIT: worth posting a couple of Brinsley Schwarz songs, and I didn't realise Nick Lowe went to Woodbridge School.

And as the Championship table shows, the gulf in quality between the leagues is truly massive and Town will struggle unless we invest heavily following promotion. Portsmouth walked the WNL last season and have collected 2 points this season in the Championship.

Indeed.

2023/24......22....20....1....1....86....10
2024/25......13.....0....2....11....7.....35

How the previous league winners of the FA Women's National League South fared the following season in the Championship.

2023/24 - Portsmouth (currently sitting bottom)
2022/23 - Watford (finished bottom)
2021/22 - Southampton (finished 6th out of 12 teams)
2020/21 - Watford - (finished bottom)
2019/20 - Crawley Wasps (Did not get promoted & remained in the 3td tier finishing 5th)

There's definitely a plan in place, hence the extra backroom staff this season. It might be a challenge, equivalent to the men in the Prem really.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves: win the next 3 and that Portman Road game v Cardiff in 5 weeks could be really special...

I'd assume so: Durham Women have been playing at the university pitches.

About 30 years ago their mens team played twin strikers named Billy and Ricky. (Billy was a surname).
