MattWSM Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Does anyone else get fed up with reading the news on the website to find it's not about our first team it's about City women? It would be better if the men and women news was in a seperate area. I follow and support the women but surely they need an area on the site dedicated now given the amount of news.

Absolutely agree, except I don't follow or support the City Women. I have no interest in them whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 The interview with Tanya Oxtoby on the main site is interesting. She describes Twerton Park, where the women are to play next season, as ‘a world class facility’. I wouldn’t mind some of whatever she’s on...

EmissionImpossible Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 It’s exposure and they need to garner support for the women’s game, yes lots of people aren’t interested but until the games grown to a decent amount it’s quite right it should appear alongside the men’s team.

Garner can support the Women's game all he likes. Most of us though aren't the slightest bit interested and many, like me, may well be put off visiting the official site altogether when it is given such prominence. Interest isn't likely to grow just because they insist on shoving it in our faces so often, but annoyance might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it indeed puts you off then firstly that is strange as usually I avoid clicking on articles I have no interest in. Interest is likely to grow amongst people with no unconscious bias unlike yourself and a few people’s annoyance isn’t a good enough reason to withdraw promoting a team within the Bristol Sport empire.

mozo Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 Has never bothered me and I hope the women's team continues to grow and gain more supporters. I've said it before: if my daughter ever plays in a City shirt I'll be incredibly proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 It's been very many years since I have followed women and at my age, I have no plans to do this again. It gets in the way on the official site in my opinion. If it is popular then why not give it its own dedicated link off the main site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I go to the site, and if it's a story and I've not interested I just ignore it or close it. There are lots of other stories on there I also don't care about but don't feel like they're shoved in front of my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
