Around 900 to 1 (both at home). About the same odds you'll get for us to win both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted January 30, 2023 Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 The women will be playing first I believe (Feb 26th?) with the men the following midweek (TV coverage notwithstanding). Could be a chance for both to make a real name for themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamdon Mart Posted February 2, 2023 Report Share Posted February 2, 2023 Wow, as signings go, this would be a big one! Rachel Furness to sign before the weekend; 85 caps for Northern Ireland and has played at the highest level for Sunderland, Reading, Tottenham & Liverpool. Would just hope that this is in addition to what we have and not replacing someone that is leaving. https://twitter.com/TomJGarry/status/1621228721028964353 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably either.. 1. The deal was done ahead of the transfer window closing and they've just managed to keep it quiet for a few days. 2. The transfer window for Championship clubs is different, or maybe even doesn't exist. 3. She and Liverpool have mutually terminated her contract, making her a free agent and avaliable to sign for City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinéadB Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Wow what a signing this is, so exciting. We are really trying to get over the line here. Saw LLC signed Kyra Carusa too - the end of the season could be really thrilling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamdon Mart Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 With her scoring record, she must be more of an attacking midfielder than a defensive one so maybe Lauren is going to play a CAM off Harrison/Hayles rather than three up top. The side certainly has better strength in depth this season, that's for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think are area of weakness is centre midfield where we are reliant on those two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 May have been missed with other announcements today, but Women's FA Cup ticket details confirmed... Key notes: The game is being played at the RHPC (and looks like it will stay there) on Sunday February 26th at 2pm Season ticket holders get 24 hour priority for tickets when they go on sale Monday at 10am (online only).... https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/ℹ-city-women-v-manchester-city-women-ticket-details/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erithacus Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 Interesting to be at the HPC - but might it still switch to the Gate at a later stage? Will there be a limit to tickets if it is at the HPC, for both sets of supporters, as it will surely reach capacity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect it to, especially given that the Conti Cup fixture was already there. It'll be nice to see a full HPC sold out for the first time since there have been games there...

Is standing encouraged around the pitch perimeter? From footage it always loo like the only support are in the stand, unlike non league grounds of similar design where you would get people behind the goals and stood all around the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Yep, supporters can stand around the sides of the pitch; I have definitely seen it from the view of standing in the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently allowed behind the left goal and on farside up to City dug out. Wasn't allowed beyond away dug out although I think this was a covid thing ,may be relaxed now. The other limiting factor is the toilet provision. I will forgo my pre match coffee if it's a capacity crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would of course need fumigation and a deep hygienic clean so perhaps the cost would be prohibitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the club might be re-thinking the way they handle this game if the crowds are as big as we might achieve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted February 4, 2023 Report Share Posted February 4, 2023 Shania Hayles called up to replace Bunny Shaw in the Jamaica squad later this month for the Cup of Nations in Australia. Not sure why, but the two would face other in the FA Cup game a few days right after the international break... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 A rare opportunity to complete the Bristol Sport ‘set’ with the Rugby, Basketball and Men’s Football all winning so far this weekend. We may not be up to our ‘Boca’ neighbour’s standards, but good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FT 0-0 for those that were wondering. Looked like a tight contest. Still, 4 points out of 6 from a City away weekend isn't bad. I'll upload some photos when I'm back in Bristol, either tonight or in the week. Got a long drive ahead of me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
