Toni Duggan wants the women’s game to receive the same treatment as the men’s
In the past, we might have lost a game and you get fans messaging you saying, Ah, dont worry, youve done so well and it can be a bit patronising, Duggan told the Times.Weve actually played badly and people are saying, Ah, were so proud.“Is it just because were the womens team, is it just because were girls? If that was the men you wouldnt be saying that. Duggan, 27, also wants to see a more raucous atmosphere around grounds when women are competing in this country, citing her contrasting experiences of playing in showpiece finals in both England and Spain.I played at the Wanda [Metropolitano in March] with 60,000 people for Barcelona against Atletico Madrid and we broke the record for attendance at a womens game, Duggan explained.Theres a picture of me celebrating and behind me theres a man putting one finger up.
