Probably as a one-off, just as a way to say thank you to their fans. Women's football isn't expensive like the top levels of men's football is. I've already got my season card for City Women, which doubles as a membership card when it comes to City men & Bears rugby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I thought no20 was Gareth Bale initially. Aint nobody like Fran Bentley…..great name for our keeper. And an S.Murray too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Anyone who buys a matchday ticket is now entered into a prize draw to win a behind-the-scenes tour at the RHPC! I can't enter as I'm a City Women season card holder, so don't need to buy a ticket. For those buying tickets, this is more of an incentive! https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/visit-the-high-performance-centre-this-weekend/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Corner Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Not a big thing but you would expect your season ticket discount to work at the high performance centre as well as Ashton Gate. It doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Caught the last 15 mins if first half. Big distances from to back…our midfield unable to engage theirs or be in with a chance of picking up loose balls. Don’t pass to players close by, every pass seems to need to be between the lines. Harrison on her own in the 10 position, often having to come deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Corner Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 Caught in possession far too often rather than playing simple ball has cost the half lewes playing diagonal ball which we are struggling to deal with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy1968 Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) 2-1 up with under 15 minutes to go.

shahanshahan Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 The winning penalty from Simran Jhamat. City now up to 4th in Championship table. "Simi Simi Simi Jhamat after midnight..."

There was one food/drink outlet with no vegetarian options I was disappointed that no season ticket discount but burger was OK, parking was good in qeh next door which is a 2 min walk. The view was very good and you could sit or stand around half the pitch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the press box to the left of the tunnel as you come out.... Was concerned when City went one down but fair play, they didn't fold. Abi's goal was a peach and caught everyone out. Pen was a pen for me and three points in the bag should give them confidence ahead of next week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you can say hi next time! And yep, big game next week, against Liverpool who have some familiar faces... 36 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Great video! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
