ChippenhamRed Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Just wondered if anyone’s going to this on Tuesday night? Also does anyone have any insight on what the team might be - it’s still not being promoted as an U23 game by Chippenham (some of their other friendlies are) but I’m aware we’re playing at the HPC earlier in the day.

Lrrr Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Usually a ‘Bristol City Xl’ will be an u23’s team, also is it actually being advertised by us at all as a first team game? If not then also points to being u23’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said we played the under 23s when I was there at Park (effectively their reserves) and it was clearly advertised as an u23 squad.

Lrrr Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Yeah City are doubling up on fixtures on Tuesday already FGR and Exeter, no way its a first team and if anything some of the 23's may be with the first team to cover two games so may be a slightly weaker 23's team at Chippenham 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah U23's friendlies mainly, seems odd we don't help promote local clubs via these fixtures especially as tonight's is for charity. One tweet might get a few extra on the gate? I usually go to the Yate Town one but away on holiday this year so was looking for an alternative game to go to with my son as the club seem to have forgotten most people work/at school in July during the day?
