shahanshahan Posted August 5, 2021 Report Share Posted August 5, 2021 BBC Sport journalist Emma Sanders has tweeted hinting that City women may sign even more players. Interesting to see Sophie Whitehouse join as goalkeeper to replace Baggaley (one Sophie for another!?) Also good to hear of a pre-season game at the RHPC on Sunday August 15th! Bit weird it's against the team who the first home game in the league will be against, but it's the first pre-season game City Women would have played in front of fans for a couple of years now (most pre-season games in women's football were usually BCD, even before COVID) https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-women-welcome-lewes-in-pre-season/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophie Whitehouse officially announced today, as well as Jennifer Foster being new assistant head coach. Very surprised about Fran Bentley joining us as well!

shahanshahan Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 First game of the season away against Crystal Palace confirmed as kicking off on Sunday 29/08/2021 at 2pm, live on FA Player. Looks like not all Championship games will be broadcast live on the FA Player. Hoping Robins TV would be able to broadcast if possible, but at the same time, will encourage fans who can to attend games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/johnson-joins-city-women-ranks/ Great signing! Melissa Johnson scored a fair few goals while at Sheffield United. Hoping she can repeat the same for us at City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Emma Bissell has announced on her Instagram she has moved to the United States to play for Florida State University. Would have thought she'd stay, but the US college system is great for a lot of women's footballers. Best of luck to her Edited August 11, 2021 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Tickets on sale for the first home league games. £7 advance/£10 on the day for adults. Interesting things to point out: All kick offs are 3pm, like they were at Stoke Gifford. Durham game is midday kick off, which would be fun for anyone travelling down that day. Blackburn game will be at Ashton Gate... Edited August 13, 2021 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Squad for today's pre-season friendly against Lewes at RHPC. Some new shirt numbers, a lot of new players, and one I'm not even aware of (Cataldo, who I think was at Leicester last season). Aimee Palmer named captain. No Fran Bentley in squad (so that song can't be sung). I'm not watching the game due to self-isolating until Monday. Hope whoever is at RHPC enjoys the game!

ExiledAjax Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Bristol City is a football club. It fields multiple teams across multiple competitions. Men's and Women's first teams, then numerous age group teams. The men's first XI may be the most prominent part of the club, but it's not the only part. It's a club, literally a group of people joined by a common interest - in this case football. You can ignore the women's team - I largely do. However, from time to time they will be more relevant in the news than the men's. I believe they played today and so I assume they are lead story today. That's fine, the men's team was the lead yesterday. It's a club, all are welcome, there's multiple teams and they all get covered in the same football section of the site. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 What a ridiculous thing to ask @Taunton_BCFC. Your logic doesn't work as the Bears women's team also appear on the Bears' website For everyone else that actually wants to follow City women, you can visit the thread here https://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/205197-bristol-city-women-and-the-wsl/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think you'll find that it's perfectly acceptable in 2021 Taunton. Added to which you may find than referring to them as women, but probably not girls, would help. Goodness knows I'm no bleeding heart liberal lefty bed-wetter but even I can't agree with you on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted August 16, 2021 Admin Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 My only question, could we have kept Matt Beard if this had been done earlier? This statement doesn't explain why she is stepping down, possibly to look after her baby? Obviously with Tania and her partner all the best with baby Albie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Very surprised with the news! Although her coaching style (and certain interview style) was very divisive in the last couple of seasons. I genuinely feel Matt Beard should have been given a longer contract had the club known Tanya would not come back (so soon). Interesting to see if Lauren Smith will now be offered the head coach role beyond the end of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 She played in the pre-season friendly last Sunday, but Lia Cataldo signing has been made official.

shahanshahan Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Crystal Palace announced on their Twitter that everyone who attends the game this Sunday will have to pre-register attendance due to the club's COVID protocols. Also, it appears that; for this game at least; attendance is free!? https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/crystal-palace-football-club-women-vs-bristol-city-wfc-tickets-168331248295?ref=estw So for those who planned on going, now you know!
