Leveller Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Pushing for promotion back from WSL 2. Joint top on points after a 4-1 win. They carry our name now, so I think we should at least have a thread on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 There is no point the women winning promotion. If they go up, they play against Ladies teams. Totally unfair, makes mockery of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYTRAM Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Went to watch it Saturday due to the Sister clubs tournament in the afternoon. Crowd was almost 1k. Good football played should have been 4-0 up by ht. I think there is a big step up to the top league though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Great to see another Bristol Sport team doing well. I noticed the Bristol Flyers beat an American select team the other day. Would be nice if we could build them a stadium closer to AG. Nothing big or expensive of course but the one they play in now is a little embarrassing compared to the arenas they go to.

Well they know all about that quality don't they; this is, after all, the only season a Bristol Ladies team have not been in the top flight. Remember also that City Women shut down when both they and Rovers were in the top flight. Later City took over Rovers changing the name to Bristol Academy and then this is the first season the name City has returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have the Wickes and Braby site in the future there is enough room for a hotel and 2-3,000 indoor arena that would be great for basketball / tennis / badmington / music venues - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that they seem to do a lot of advertising and community work in Bristols more ethnic areas, I know that the game has traditionally, (although not exclusively) been popular with the afro-caribbean communities across the world and that seems to make sense, but I wondered what effect it is having. We are looking to attend a game in the new future so I will see first hand the facilities they use, watching the video of JET attending a game a couple of years back it looked like a school sports hall, is that accurate? If that is true, then you are right a proper stadium would be better, something that could double as a venue for Jobs Fairs and the like maybe? Sorry just spotted @Fiale has posted something similar.

Not suggesting anything like it for us, but the arena Galatasaray basketball play is great, especially the atmosphere when they have 12000 in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's an academy they play in isn't it? It does look like a school sports hall. The idea above about the Wikes and Braby site and it having the hotel built there, Could easily have the arena underneath the hotel. I'm sure a 2000 seater wouldn't cost that much and would really tie things together having the men's football, rugby and basketball all in one area. I'm sure more would attend if it's closer to AG.

Had a look in on Saturday there were a few very tall Flyers in there training. It is just a sports hall with pull out seats down one side. Not a big capacity. Other than that it's a nice facility.

Good shout. Would be good to maximize revenue so a resident team sport makes sense. May even go myself. Been to see women once and really enjoyed it.

Was really impressed by the football we played. We were sharper, fitter, quicker slicker and should have scored 6 or 7. Number 7 Arthur was excellent, seemed to have a lot more time on the ball than anyone else on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 The Women are certainly entertaining, and with some concerted effort they should find themselves going back to the top flight again this season. With Yeovil crashing 2-3 to the Bees yesterday it's thrown the race wide open - any two from four now. Looking at the run-in, Everton have to go to Yeovil and Durham, with City at home in between. Yeovil have two winnable games otherwise (if they don't get beaten by the Bees again!), and Durham could well find their last games the easiest, but they are currently a point off the pace. City can (and have stated the aim to) go up as Champions; their next (and last) home game is against Durham (Sep 24) and then the game at Everton (Oct 29) may be the decider. I agree that the WSL1 level is going to be a real test, but one that should be relished. Interestingly enough, the next year will see a change with regards to the leagues. There will be a short season (Spring Series) with no promotion or relegation, which will pave the way for the Women to play a traditional Autumn-Spring calendar later in the year, so City can establish themselves at the top table.

napper Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 From Wikipedia The bottom team of the WSL 1 at the end of each season will be replaced by the WSL 2 champion in the next season; however, for the 2015 and 2016 seasons both the WSL 2 champions and runners-up will be promoted as part of the league's planned expansion.
