Just like it was discussed for the mens tickets, the next game will NOT usually update until 3 days prior to a fixture BUT, worth mentioning that all three clubs that play at AG8 are using the same systems, so if there is another game at the ground less than 3 days prior your ticket will NOT show up until that game is complete No need to contact the club, have a read through the mens season ticket threads, it was already covered there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 New season, new level, new players, new hope but some old questions. How will the team gel, with many new faces and perhaps some new ideas? Firstly, great to see so many fans in the ground, helped by Shahan the flag monitor. Have to say the few turnstiles open at first did cause a bit of a lengthy queue (a familiar scene at Ashton Gate). Sad to note that Abi Harrison was not even in kit today - I really hope it's not an 'Alex Scott' kind of injury. The opening minutes of the game proved encouraging, with the girls getting a foot on the ball and making some progress going for goal. However, the visitors grew back and for much of the game were better at the fifty-fifties and we lost some momentum. They also appeared quicker around the pitch and had a better sense of position. With a relatively new midfield including Connolly and Rogers it was no real surprise that City's rhythm often looked a little ponderous. It was here that Leicester were able to keep us at bay at times. Furness was the main thrust but Ffion Morgan seemed to be set more as a wing back with cover responsibilities and was often behind play. After about half an hour, both Morgan and Powell swapped sides for a time but resumed after substitutions. Up front the new pairing of Thestrup and Jones were stifled and were kept largely out of range. Defensively, we had a solid set-up but it was cracked by the visitors who scored twice quickly after the break. Both were avoidable and defenders were caught out by livelier opponents. For the first game - and it's just the first of a long season - we looked a little short of pace and thinking at this level. I'm sure the coaches will be going through lots of points and will have plenty to work on this week. However, the general consensus appears to make this a game that will decide the lower end of the table. There will be others and we need to make sure we have a say in the outcomes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of course they aren't. From the interested bystander POV (I follow the womans team, but little knowledge of the WSL) I doubt City have budgeted enough to stay up.

Didn't sign for Leicester until August She was club captain, but didn't wear the armband for the last few games. Didn't even get to lift the trophy with back-up captain Bentley.
