Chris Burke opened the scoring just before the hour mark after the hosts had squandered a series of chances, before Marlon King put the result beyond doubt with a well-taken second. Blues manager Lee Clark will feel the margin of victory should have been greater, not least after an excellent penalty save from Dean Gerken low to his right to deny Peter Lovenkrands when substitute Martyn Woolford brought down Burke in stoppage time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamdon Mart Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Club have announced that Aimee Palmer, club captain, has left BCWFC by mutual consent. https://twitter.com/bristolcitywfc/status/1652968603577384961 While her inswinging corners were a sight to behold (think I saw her score directly from three of them), her injuries this season curtailed her influence on the side. Still one of the players I love to watch and she'll be missed. Good luck Aimee. Edited May 1, 2023 by Hamdon Mart 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahanshahan Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) I know it's the end of the season so some departures would be announced. Wasn't expecting Aimee to be one of them! I remember when she signed her new one-year contract during last season, there was a clause that an extension could be triggered if WSL promotion was sealed. So she leaves technically as a free agent. I was at the Birmingham game yesterday, and she (alongside Elysia Boddy) were sat in the away section - a few rows in front of us. At the time I thought it seemed strange that they weren't in or near the dugout (which for some reason was closer to the home sections side, and Birmingham's was closer to ours...). But perhaps moments like this (and not being named captain in recent fixtures) puts some things into perspective.

shahanshahan Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 My photos from Sunday. The seating behind the dugouts at St Andrews is...interesting. Had a bit of an adventure before the game. Was told by the steward at one car park (where the (Bristol Bears) team bus was) to park in the Kop Stand car park, then drove there & the steward there said it was home fans only, so then found street parking somewhere else. And then had to find a ticket office to get my ticket reprinted as it never came in the post. Was hoping for the football to put me in a better mood Nice to get everyone that featured on the poster to sign my copy (apart from Lily Greenslade, who was with Plymouth yesterday...) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Really sad news that Aimee Palmer is not going to be part of the future. A hugely influential player and the heart of the departing season's midfield. Hope she will enjoy whatever she will do (coaching?) and the club will be forever indebted for her efforts. I remember her coming through as a youngster and mixing it with the WSL of the day, thinking she could be part of the new generation. It was a circuitous route but one City have benefited from. Also sad to see the others leave, Cataldo especially. Although not quite such a higher level of involvment on gamedays, they were nevertheless part of a Championship winning side. We sit and wait for more news, which I suspect will be happening over the summer if it's regarding new arrivals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constant Rabbit Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Firstly thanks to @shahanshahan and @phantom for the running updates on this thread. Living abroad, it's been great to keep upto date with the Ladies wonderful season. Hopefully with crowds of 5000+ and hopefully more, then investment will be made in the team to keep it up, evolve and belong. Surely it's only a matter of time before the WSL is screened on Sky / Fox etc - every game, every week. The attendances are pretty compelling for the broadcasters to recognise the obvious demand to watch these matches. It will be a struggle obviously - but with 4 or 5 inspired signings, maybe, just maybe, the ladies can stay up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure, you have to think League One & most of League Two average attendance wise is probably much higher than that and it's rarely ever televised. But then the WSL may be cheaper to buy rights for I suppose. So less in the way of getting it on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
