That's because, just like with the mens team, they were let down massively in both summer and January transfer windows. Had a couple of decent acquisitions been made, they could have had the extra couple of wins, and a couple of draws that would see them not rooted to the foot of the table. Couple that with Lauren Smith's insistence on playing players out of position, refusal to move from playing 1 up front (apart from giving Shania Hayles, the best finisher at the club, the last 5 minutes of the occasional game) and like for like, rather than tactical, substitutions (where have I seen that before?!). A massive opportunity missed. Edited April 15 by Red Homer Spelling 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as they said it was going to be mainly about City women I turned off. Not that I dislike them - hell, I watched the entire 90 mins on Sky yesterday - but I'm only inerested in non matchday mens team discussion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs3 Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Two separate teams , if Radio Bristol want to do a show about Bristol City women they should have their own show. I switched off because I have no interest in the women’s team . Does the Rovers programme talk feature their women’s team ? Is a one hour football show dedicated to Bristol City on our local broadcaster to much to ask for 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another business this would be regarded as "passing off" or copyright infringement. Good luck to them and I'm glad that their fans enjoy it but please stop foisting it upon the rest of us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrondrew Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Thanks for the heads up. Good to know they have dedicated a decent amount of the show to the women's team. I support them too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 The women get good attendances but very low prices will be a big factor. It's a family day out but not sure this equates to widespread keen interest outside of matchdays. Hence a City women's show would have very few listeners so it's tagged on to Sounds of the City where there's already a captive audience. I'd be switching off at that stage because I'm simply not interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for women's football becoming successful in its own right but at present it is parasitically leeching money and press coverage from the well supported football team that has been going for over a century. It should stand, or fall, on its own two feet instead of the current situation of mixing in (women's players in the men's calendar) and passing off: "Bristol City" beat "Arsenal". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are, but nobody minds that, and as I have said on a previous post I don't mind the women's team being funded as it probably costs less than half a first team player's wages. What they are not however doing is passing themselves off as Bristol City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 (edited) Bit disappointing to read most of these comments. Last night's episode was a much needed live discussion/fans panel from two City Women fans & good friends of mine (one of which is a fellow SC&T board member but was giving their own opinions) - to go into detail & to hold people to account. There's been a bit of imbalance between City men coverage & City women coverage in some episodes this season (and in some episodes there was no mention at all despite the team playing a game that weekend), so it was great for Radio Bristol to use their platform to give more time & coverage on their main show for Bristol City. Radio Bristol go to City Women's press conferences & also cover the WSL home games - but a lot of match going fans like myself will miss that coverage for obvious reasons, hence usually listening to Sound of the City instead. As Nigel Pearson once said, the women's team are also a first team, just like the men's... Edited April 16 by shahanshahan 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have no interest in that team then you don't want it mixed in with the coverage, either in Sound of the City or online news, of the team in which you are interested. You are welcome to support both of course but most people do not and this should be recognised, on here by having a separate subforum now that the "Ignore threads" functionality doesn't work. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they’re not the men’s team are they. Lets not forget how the owner ditched the original women’s team like a hot potatoe when it wasn’t commercially viable.

Yes, but to be fair the men's team is far more commercially unviable unless and until it breaks into the Premiership and stays there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The women should have their own show, then we wouldn't have a shortened programme for the men's team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
