shahanshahan Posted September 6, 2022 Report Share Posted September 6, 2022 Sad news regarding Brooke. She played in pre-season but was mysteriously absent for the first two games of the season. At least the club have clarified the reason; but as per the statement, it appears not to be football related. I wish Brooke a speedy & full recovery 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I can see the pros & cons of the club not streaming anymore. There's the argument of that it would encourage supporters to attend the matches, however there's also the argument of it (and other league matches) not being streamed when you have, for example, every match in the WSL that isn't selected for TV coverage gets streamed live on the FA Player. The FA Player were showing every Championship game live for the first two weeks - but conveniently this was when the WSL hadn't started yet so there was the resource to do so.

Erithacus Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 Tougher game than I had thought today, as Sunderland were pretty resilient and difficult to break down. Having said that, some City players looked a little out of sync at times and our game lacked rhythm, leading to a bit of an impass. Some good performances from Palmer (until subbed) and Syme in the middle, and the defence was in determined mood, thankfully, as the Black Cats almost got a late equaliser. Our subs came on and immediately lifted the tempo. Crowd of 500 - perhaps some fans would have been playing today as the seasons are now underway. But bottom line: another win, another clean sheet. We're not unhappy about that at all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't get push notifications for OTIB. I think the other comments before this one echo the feeling of today. Special thanks to Southampton for beating Crystal Palace today, which made it easier to top the table! Just hope they don't have that same performance next Sunday against us at Ashton Gate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very surprised if they get half that The large crowd against Liverpool last season was more down to the fact when sales started it was first against second with us having an outside chance of catching then, sadly by the day of the game that was no longer likely The other thing was the large number there to see "Liverpool" play For many of the youngsters there that day they'll never see the mens side in the flesh this was the next best thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liverpool game did have a fair few people sat in the corner of the South/Lansdown Stand & to the left of there. Doesn't look good when you watch back the footage of the game, as you can't see the fans on camera. But I've heard that because of the advertising LED boards, this is why the camera is where it is (that, and there are no advertising LED boards on the Lansdown Stand side). Maybe fans could sit in the Dolman stand only in the future...

shahanshahan Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Lauren Smith & Aimee Palmer were on The Sports Store tonight on BBC Radio Bristol They discussed the season so far & look ahead to Sunday's game at Ashton Gate. Palmer makes a good point which I forgot, in that she missed both Ashton Gate games last season due to injury & illness. Lauren Smith also discussed Brooke Aspin, and when asked, she advised that Brooke is back at home but that there'd be a long process before she's playing again. Also confirmed that Ed Hadwin & Frankie Brown will be doing live commentary for the game, which can be accessed via the BBC Sport website/app...
