Making tomorrow at Kingsmeadow even more emotional for the home fans. Emma Hayes' last home game, Maren Mjelde's last home game (who herself announced she was leaving Chelsea after seven years), and now this. Will be interesting to see where she goes next. Definitely hasn't announced any plans to retire...

Based on this graphic, it looks like City will be in the yellow kit for tomorrow night...

I think I can see where @Never to the dark side finally got his name from...

That's a massive difference of 595 points. Which is it?

Not sure if people noticed but on the pages regarding season ticket renewals (especially in the FAQs), it talks about "The My City Rewards loyalty scheme will be replaced for the 2024/25 season with a retail discount offering for all Season Ticket holders. Further details will be revealed in due course"

Some key points from Lauren's press conference on Thursday - Amalie Thestrup back in training after coming off injured on Sunday. Should be available for this weekend - Lauren Smith enjoyed the Fans Forum; her & Gavin Marshall answered questions honestly - Chelsea will still be a threat despite recent defeats

It's now online to listen back to...

Tonight's fans forum is the first women's one that has sold out, so I expect many will have questions...

For those going to the fans forum tomorrow (see you there!), the club have finally confirmed that supporters can park on side for free, but need to scan a QR code to validate their parking. Much like those that park to travel on coach travel for the men's away games

This article is news to me (no pun intended!) Am aware that this is third WSL relegation for the team, but I wasn't aware that City have been the most-relegated team in WSL history. I noticed a few omissions: Kaylan Marckese only returned back to Arsenal because of her ACL injury, and actually there have been five different goalkeepers that made WSL appearances (Benedicte Haaland who was on a short term deal came on as a sub in one game) Also noticed that the writer referred to the team as Bristol City, City, and Bristol all in the same article. Err...

Posted in this thread, but Gavin Marshall will be on Sound of the City tonight (alongside Jon Lansdown)...

That's not a thing in the women's game. Otherwise, you'd have had the likes of previously relegated sides like Reading & Birmingham City be back in the WSL already

Existing season ticket holders have until Monday May 20th to renew their seat. https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/2024-25-city-women-season-ticket-faqs/

I feel that (speaking purely as a fan here, not as a SC&T board member) Lauren has only been able to work with what resources she's been given. I listened to the Gavin Marshall interview on the Forever Bristol City podcast where he admitted that the team have the smallest budget in the WSL. I believe there has been more investment than last time in the WSL, but still not enough compared to all the other teams that have affiliations with Premier League clubs. Overall, the performances have been a lot better for most games this season, despite the outcome. I would remember when Tanya Oxtoby was in charge and the team would sometimes be 3-0 or 4-0 down within 20/30 minutes. But tonight I was so impressed that we kept Man City to a 0-0 at half time. Lauren's already proven her success in the Championship, but unfortunately only one team goes up to the WSL. And in this season, there was pretty much a five-horse race between Crystal Palace (eventual champions), Sunderland, Charlton Athletic, Southampton & Birmingham City. And with the likes of Newcastle & Portsmouth coming up to the Championship, it will be interesting. Also depends on who stays & who goes over the summer (as well as who comes in). The Fans Forum is happening this Wednesday evening at the SC&T Bar so fans have the opportunity to ask Lauren & Gavin themselves

Unchanged starting XI it seems, but with some players swapped around in position KO 6.45pm, live on Sky Sports & BBC Radio Bristol

Tell us you don't follow the team without telling us you don't follow the team

What a response from this councillor...

Promotion confirmed for Crystal Palace - first time in the WSL. Drew 0-0 with Sunderland at Selhurst Park, but it was enough for them to secure the Championship title. And yep, it will be all teams affiliated with PL sides after Leicester City's promotion was confirmed...

There's two more games left to play after tonight, or are you talking about the last game you are attending this season?

West Ham just got a 95th minute equaliser against Aston Villa, FT 1-1 West Ham now on 14 points; gap between them & City now extended to eight points. City need to win against Man City tonight now to avoid relegation...
