FGR team closure 'sends message women not valued'

Forest Green Rovers' decision to close their women's side suggests that female football is "not valued", according the team's former captain Hattie Jones.The Gloucestershire club finished second in the South West Regional Women's Premier Division last campaign, narrowly missing out on promotion to the fourth tier by just one point.Yet the team will not return next season as the club's ownership looks to "concentrate resources" towards getting the men's side back into the English Football League,
