Erithacus Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Interesting graphic; nice one, Shahanshahan. It's nice to see but I'll be more content at the end of the season. I also assume this is for league games only, not cup or European stuff. It may eventually point to Ashton Gate being the second home of the Lionesses. Still it does show that playing at the Gate has proved very popular. Also note that the Gate is the highest ranked single venue - almost all the other teams have a choice of two.

From what I saw from soccerdonna.de (where the graphic is from), I think the stats were for league games only, so didn't include any cup games at the RHPC Also, you can just call me Shahan Edited January 2 by shahanshahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Former London City Lionesses Shae Yanez has become the team's first signing of the transfer window, joining from San Diego Wave. A transfer fee was paid. An impressive signing, but unless something has happened to Liv Clark, Benedicte Haaland and/or Fran Bentley on her recovery, I have no idea why we have yet another goalkeeper.

old_eastender Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 West Ham recognising the worth of staying in the WSL when the Women's game is still on the up. These are exactly the pedigree of signings we should be making... West Ham have signed Australia midfielder Katrina Gorry, capped 105 times, from Swedish side Vittsjo GIK. Gorry becomes West Ham's third January signing following the arrivals of United States midfielder Kristie Mewis, capped 53 times, and experienced WSL Canadian defender Shelina Zadorsky on loan from Spurs. ... but will our blinkered board fund our survival bid? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumut happen at San Diego? I haven't heard London City referred to as Millwall in ages. That made me chuckle I don't follow the NWSL but I probably assume she didn't get much game time. But I'm guessing she wanted to swap one LA (somewhere in the same state as Los Angeles) for another LA (playing near Long Ashton). I'll get my coat...

Could be a big blow in Chelsea's chances of retaining the title. Also means that she won't play again under Emma Hayes as she's leaving in the summer. It also means that she won't face off against her fiancée Kristie Mewis when their respective clubs play each other in the FA Cup this weekend - which is what some fans (based on what I've seen online anyway) were looking forward to when Mewis joined West Ham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the bit that I don’t get. It’s only 1 down and 1 up with the WSL. Getting promoted is the hard part, staying there should be a lot easier, especially as the wages and fees in the WSL are so small by comparison with the men’s game. Seems dreadfully short-sighted by Bristol Sport, especially given the increased attendances at AG for games in the WSL, but hey that’s never stopped them for making poor decisions before… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had they not been relegated, it would have been Reading... Also, the Bescot is a new ground for me to cross off; I never got to see City men play away at Walsall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can take an age to get served in the ground if you want a half time pie and a bovril though. There are some reasonable pubs if you fancy a pre-match drink in Walsall town centre which is about a 15-20 minute walk from the stadium. There's not a lot around the stadium itself except a McDonalds. Edited January 10 by Midlands Robin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
