Not only does this not happen, it will never happen whilst there is a disparity between the matchday / sponsorship / TV etc revenues. I can't see why this would be a problem if the women's game grows - nor why it would be a problem if the women's game did. It is unlikely to grow if the stranglehold you're proposing was applied. It is worth remembering that one of the reasons women's football never grew in the first place was that the FA (and the wider game) strangled the women's game and banned it for half a century. I think the clubs have a moral duty to try to repair decades of damage. Remember, a football club is meant to be a club. This is accepted as standard on the continent and increasingly in the UK. Of course there should be an NUFC women's team - as well as the same youth teams etc as those for the men / boys.
