Mark Jones' speciality is in player development, which is more or less the ultimate purpose of the NPL/NYL team.

That is. But the side is only 1 point off the side above them.Jesus Navas.
Is that our first win of the season?

I think that's a fair argument and obviously because men and women's sport is so segregated its far easier to see the revenue men and women bring to the table, although I think that stems from the fact that women are never going to catch up to the men as far as revenue if they are never afforded genuine opportunities to do so. Men have been lucky enough to have competitive sport organised for them for hundreds of years. For a time women weren't even allowed to play football. So I don't see how they are going to be able to generate more income and interest when they aren't able to offer a quality product.First off- I completely agree with pay equality. If a woman is doing the same job then they deserve the same pay.
However, why should gender dictate exactly what you earn?
In my opinion, true pay equality links pay directly to performance/revenue generation, regardless of gender, race, age etc.
This is the way it should be.
In most industries, woman do the same thing and bring in the same as men, hence deserve the same pay = fair.
However in sports, this always varies. At the elite level, woman's sport has a great following and demands equal pay to men = fair.
However woman's football in Australia doesn't yet. I think it's fair for pay to be relative if they're only bringing in a fraction of revenue compared to the men.
And this has nothing to do with gender. If the youth league players were full time, I wouldn't expect them to be paid the same as the men because they don't bring in as much, have as much of a following, generate the same revenue etc.
This difference in pay has nothing to do with gender and everything to do with performance = fair.
