• Despite their strong season, the team was ineligible for promotion as the club did not submit the required Tier 2 licence application by the February deadline.
• The decision not to apply was reportedly tied to financial concerns and fears over the men’s first team’s potential relegation from the Premier League at the time.
• Players, including Beth Merrick and Lily Simkin, voiced their frustration publicly, describing the situation as a betrayal and questioning the club's ambition for the women's program.
