Quote:Charlton Athletic are to announce the shock closure of their women's team.
The club's entire women's section - senior teams, academy and centre of excellence - are to be scrapped.
The decision is part of drastic cost-cutting measures being carried out following the club's relegation from the men's Premier League last season.

It's a sad reflection on the state of the women's and girl's game when we are the first casualties of failure in the men's game.
Men relegated from the premier league = no need to progress women and girls football?
Bad news.
