There is definitely things going on that aren't in the public domain, apologies but I don't understand why they would be contacting you? My point was that anything you are planning on doing is likely already in progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that anything you are planning on doing is likely already in progress OK, but the fact that I coached and managed BCWFC from 1998 to around 2000 might be of interest. I am contacting Neil Palmer anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 20 hours ago, Chessels Chick said: As mentioned by @shahanshahan I was involved with the original Bristol City WFC ...as founder member player and club secretary! We started off in 1987 as Bedminster, became Bristol Women and then Bristol United before becoming Bristol City WFC at the start of the 1992/93 season (thanks to involvement of Shaun Parker Community Officer at the time) Marcia did play for us from 1994/95 season including in the semi-final of the FA Women's Challenge Cup against Liverpool played at Mangotsfield United FC but she is a gashead!! And often wore rovers shirt under her City one Most of us were City fans though and several have season tickets still- some of us are still playing football together for Bristol Badgers Women's Walking Football Club (as are now 30+ years older!!) Amazing! Thank you for sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at recent news stories that have emerged since, the officer in question was white, and involved an incident on a night-out back in January 2023 (yet only made aware to media fairly recently) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Arsenal play Aston Villa in the first Conti-Cup semi-final tonight. If Arsenal beat Aston Villa, then our away game to Arsenal on Sunday March 31st has to be rescheduled (again) due to the Conti Cup final taking place that day - and will probably take place midweek due to the lack of available weekends for the rest of the season.

Finished 4-0 to Arsenal in the end. If our away game will still take place on a Sunday, the only real date available is on April 14th. This is when the FA Cup semi finals are, and both teams are already out of that competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Some key points from press conference today: Naomi Layzell still injured - potentially out for up to 4 weeks; Recent illness within camp caused a training session to be cancelled (but everyone affected has since recovered); Abi Harrison potentially available for Sunday Carrie Jones picked up knock on training, awaiting scan results; Liv Clark injured in training, status questionable Lauren was also asked on her view about player/coach relationships, after Leicester manager (and former City manager) Willie Kirk was suspended pending investigation, after an alleged relationship with a player at the club 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see if Shae or Fran replace Clark. We played OK against Utd at home, they're a bit fragile maybe we can get a sneaky point, or 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Marc Skinner didn't do Man Utd's press conference today. Various reporters have confirmed that he & his partner are expecting the birth of their next child, and so could miss the game on Sunday. Also, City have confirmed the team will be in the yellow kit on Sunday... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 5 hours ago, Barrs Court Red said: Anyone have an idea when they usually announce if the P&R is running for matches? About a few days before matchday on their website - the article would usually begin with "Travel Information.." This was the one that was done three days before the West Ham game in January https://www.bcfc.co.uk/city-women-news/travel-information-bristol-city-women-vs-west-ham-united-women/ Matchday bus services are usually run if the club can justify them & if there is a high attendance to do so. There were no matchday bus services for the Brighton game, and that had an attendance of 3468 (lowest for a City Women home league game at Ashton Gate this season). Looking at the Bristol Sport ticketing website, block S18 is open for the next home game with Spurs (and that block usually isn't). Overall, keep an eye out on the BCFC website (and social media) for updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahanshahan Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Gotta set my alarm early to get the coach leaving Ashton Gate at 6.30am.

shahanshahan Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 As there is unreserved seating at LSV, City supporters who are going to the game should sit in block A. If you get there late, you should spot me/us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pippintogg Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 Feel sorry for Thestrup. She's trying to press a back 3 on her own with no support . The formation is more about damage limitation than positive intent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
