  1. They actually ran with the ball made such a difference!
  2. My profile pic is of a very proud moment - a photo shoot at Ashton Gate when we became Bristol City WFC and first wore the kit I was out of the game for a couple of years following bad ankle break in 1996 - when I returned most of the better senior players had left to join Southampton and the first team was mainly made up of previous youth team members (such as Carly Bryant, Heidi Bevan and Mich Munro mentioned before) I played for the reserves for a few years (including scoring goal in Cup final at Yate Town a rare occurence as played right back ) before hanging my boots up. Other founder members also left to set up a new team (again called Bristol United) after several disagreements with the then management We always felt this led to a rewrite of the history of the club which might be why we've been forgotten A shame as we were real pioneers of the women's game - and also very successful for many years
  3. As mentioned by @shahanshahan I was involved with the original Bristol City WFC ...as founder member player and club secretary! We started off in 1987 as Bedminster, became Bristol Women and then Bristol United before becoming Bristol City WFC at the start of the 1992/93 season (thanks to involvement of Shaun Parker Community Officer at the time) Marcia did play for us from 1994/95 season including in the semi-final of the FA Women's Challenge Cup against Liverpool played at Mangotsfield United FC but she is a gashead!! And often wore rovers shirt under her City one Most of us were City fans though and several have season tickets still- some of us are still playing football together for Bristol Badgers Women's Walking Football Club (as are now 30+ years older!!)
  4. Understand it is shut between Bridge Valley & Sylvan Way .... we turned round and went up BV Road and two police cars were coming down I think to shut the road ... so you s/b OK coming down but expect it will be busier than normal
  5. Happened about 2.30pm - was caught in the queue but turned around when the two fire engines turned up and blocked the road There were also lots of police & ambulances
  6. My guilty pleasure/secret I follow many a WAG (although not so secret now!!)
  7. They live in Leicester - have been renting in Bristol ... not that I'm a stalker or anything!!
  8. Prob no surprise but doesn't look like King will be around next season ...
