LEWES FC Women will make history on Sunday December 2 when they play Manchester United Women at The Dripping Pan for the first time.

The richest club in the world comes to Lewes to challenge the first club in the world to pay its women the same as its men.

Adding to the sense of occasion will be guest of honour Helen Pankhurst, great grand daughter of Suffragette Emmeline who founded the Suffragette movement in Manchester.

Emmeline Pankhurst features on Lewes FC Women’s poster for the match as an inspirational woman from the away team’s locale.

Helen will be attending her first women’s football match and will address the crowds at 12.45pm before the 2pm ko.

Lewes FC made headline news when it became the first club in the world to pay its male and female semi-professional teams equal pay as part of the club’s Equality FC Campaign.

Lewes is one of only a few UK clubs where men and women’s teams play on the same pitch.
