shahanshahan Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Great find @phantom! You tuned into SSN at the right time I haven't been able to find the interview from above, but did find this clip. Found it interesting that Liv Clark was present, as I thought she was on loan at Watford! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 The player trade is certainly getting going now. Looks like the club is engaging with some top level talent, not scratching around. I wonder if there are any more in the pipeline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 2 hours ago, Super said: We got any chance of staying up mate? Kind of my question. The top league to championship in women’s football seems to cover the same spread of quality that maybe Premier to League 2 does in the men’s game. No disrespect to our side last year, but any team coming up without strengthening hugely is likely to get smashed. I have no real sense where on the scale our new talent now leaves us. Clearly still nowhere near the top teams, but does it leave us competitive against the teams likely to be around us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-season results are impressive but as we know these games are about fitness and not a lot else Much of the season hangs on the opening game against Leicester, they will be one of the sides we are competing against for survival 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Championship started week and a half back. Owing to the delayed start of the WSL, we have a limited pool from which to arrange from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Judging by the wording in this post, it seems there will be no home pre-season games for fans to watch. Which seems disappointing, as the RHPC should definitely be available on Sundays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 What sort of attendances do the women's team get these days? Appreciate that pre-promotion the games were rarely in BS3, bit have the club provided any info around season ticket sales or expected crowds?

miser Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'd expect fluctuations. At the HPC, crowds varied between 400 and 900 depending on the importance of the fixture and also the weather. It's a family affair and they don't tend to come rain or shine. Previously in the WSL at the SGC, crowds varied from 2000 for the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea and down the hundreds for lesser names. We are a long way from having a hardcore women's support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, my Lansdown ticket was forty quid. So the price likely was a factor for many (granted, I have no idea what the cost was elsewhere), I assumed that the opposition would have been a fair draw and sensible pricing might have seen more returns for Bears games.

Will they be amenable to more cut-price offers for these games if the sales aren't as high too? But 1680 season tickets already sold? That's miles above anything the women's side has ever seen. The club needs to make sure they stay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
