<\/p>\nA female football fanatic plans to visit all 92 English football clubs to encourage other women to attend matches.<\/p>\n
Kerry-Rose O'Donnell, 32, has been going to support her local team since she was in her mother\u2019s womb and has now visited 50 out of EFL grounds in the UK. After dubbing herself the \u2018EFL girl\u2019 online, she has received a huge amount of attention from football fans all over the world.<\/p>\n
The marketing and communication manager from Plymouth said: \u201cIt\u2019s become important to me to share a female voice in lower league football. I want to show that girls can support a club and follow them home and away \u2013 and there\u2019s nothing wrong with that, it should be encouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n

She slammed former player Joey Barton who has said women \u201cshouldn\u2019t be talking with any kind of authority\u201d on men\u2019s football. She said: \u201cJoey Barton\u2019s comments are just laughable. It\u2019s just sexism in its purest form and it\u2019s disappointing that he\u2019s given any sort of airtime.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt reflects some of the sentiment I get from male football fans for even going to watch the men\u2019s game and having a fan\u2019s opinion of it. I\u2019ve been watching my club for 30 years, how is my opinion any less valid than a male fan just because I\u2019m a woman and would never have a chance to play in the men\u2019s game?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Barton has launched a string of tirades against female pundits recently and rowed with former Sky Sports reporter Bianca Westwood as he defended his on Piers Morgan\u2019s Talk TV show. The former Newcastle and Manchester City midfielder has also feuded with TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods and Football Focus host Alex Scott. <\/p>\n
He took aim at the latter again today (Saturday), posting on X (formerly Twitter): \u201c36 minutes. Football Focus turned off. Sorry, it's just terrible. Drivel and nonsense served with a side of boring. No wonder it\u2019s getting canned. Well done to all involved. Another flagship destroyed by The Tokens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite reports the long-running was under threat due to declining ratings, the BBC has insisted Football Focus is not being cancelled any time soon. In a statement sent to Daily Star Sport,<\/b> a BBC spokesperson said: \u201cFootball Focus continues to herald the start of a whole weekend packed full of sporting coverage for fans across BBC Sport, including radio, our website and Player.<\/p>\n
\u201cWeek-on-week it is the most watched programme during that time slot and iPlayer viewing figures are also strong, so we know its popularity is enduring for fans, wherever they choose to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n
