Womens team have brought in teriffic levels of support & revenue on non men's 1st team match days. All could be lost now.

shahanshahan Posted May 7 Report Share Posted May 7 Catching up on this thread now, as I didn't feel checking it (or online in general) right after the game After Man City losing to Arsenal earlier on Sunday, Chelsea had to do what they did to reduce the goal difference to give them a slim chance of winning the WSL title. Although I left after the 7th (to go back & sit on the supporters coach) Chelsea outplayed City on Sunday, simple as. Some good chances from City, and good that it was only 2-0 at half time. Sunday was my 11th & final WSL away day of the season. Glad I've done Kingsmeadow (and other grounds). No real rush to go again soon...

I think next season will see a very tough championship and after such a torrid season I think the side will need to start well and build confidence. They will be seen as a scalp to take by others so they will have to be mentally and physically up for the battle. I’m not convinced I’ve seen enough from the manager to suggest she is the right fit but I think you have to give her the chance to get the team going again. Interested to see the attendances next season, bound to be some drop off due to relegation but how big a drop off will be interesting. I read somewhere that the London Lionesses have just been bought by a massively wealthy owner who was going to throw money at them. A wealthy owner - just like us then! Oh wait…….

The difference being there's is someone who already has a huge interest in women's football and has only bought a small football club that used to be part of Millwall rather than Bristol Sport. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if she was offered a new one or not. Lauren Smith did say previously that she'd like to keep as much of her squad as possible.

shahanshahan Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Even though it took place on Wednesday, the club have finally released the press conference.

Cidre Monita Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 Just the 0-4 defeat at hope to Everton today finishing on 6 points and minus 50 GD. Take a bow Messrs Marshall and Lansdown. Truly outstanding. Watched the Man C game on TV earlier and had the indignity of our ladies being mentioned in their capitulation to Chelsea last week. We lost 0-8 to a misfiring team therefore handing Chelsea ladies the title on GD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to the fans that have turned up week in week out throughout the season. Hope The Championship is better next season. I can't see it being different next season. I've said it before, there's such a gulf between the 2 leagues, just like the men's game. Without money you can't compete and we know the Lansdowns won't do that. Also Smith has been woeful tactically this season. I'd recruit a new coach and greater experience in the squad. They could struggle and be mid table. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
