Ask the FA to explain how it chose teams for the revamped womens football league
Rejected

What the petition asks
The FA is revamping women's football with WSL and Championship and teams had to apply for their spot.
Manchester Utd was awarded a place, despite not having a women's team for 13 years, ahead of teams that have worked their way up the leagues.
On the face of it, it's making a mockery of the game.
