From my point of view living 60 miles away with a fairly limited disposable income makes it an added expense on top of the men's matches in the autumn/winter as opposed to a decent day out in the summer. I'm hoping to make the next "double-header" before the WHam game, they should try more of those to boost the crowds. As others have said it's very disappointing that the club don't arrange more live streaming of the women's and academy teams.Personally I think the crowds have dropped a bit , which is a pity as the women are the champions, fa cup & continental cup holders. Also the club have seemed too of eased up now letting people stand or sit , also having a bar area too, the food is not too bad ever. Maybe the switch from summer did make some stop coming , but football is a winter sport , and now it's in line with all the other women's leagues. Yes the stadium is cold , it look's nice and wouldn't be out of place in Spain or any other southern European countries, but not in our climate it's not that great !
I agree with you on the live streaming , why have a so called TV channel and not show live games on it ? I remember they uses to show the european next gen games live ! Wasn't that part of the reason why they spent money on Hyde utd's ground (So it look better in the live games?) As for the double headers, it's a great idea , but some people just don't give it a go , the last double header, City v Arsenal attendance 54,286 later City's Women v Everton Women attendance 873, The lowest crowd for the women so far, what's a pity as more should give the women's team a try .From my point of view living 60 miles away with a fairly limited disposable income makes it an added expense on top of the men's matches in the autumn/winter as opposed to a decent day out in the summer.

I think the double-header idea works better when the women's or academy game is the first up rather than afterwards.I agree with you on the live streaming , why have a so called TV channel and not show live games on it ?

Said as much yesterday. Poor effort from the Official web site and City Tv. Should be showing highlights all the way down the age groups imo.My wife and I went to the game yesterday. The skill rate was high with City doing most of the attacking and Bristol most of the defending. The City team all contributed to the overall performance but imo Elmslie and Scott were nothing short of brilliant. Incidentally, the Bristol goalkeeper had a great game.Well done City, We enjoyed a great afternoon and the shop was open until 4.30pm.
The only downside is the the amount of support the the women’s team gets from the PR SIDE OF THE CLUB. It is difficult to get much from the web site, highlights of play are sparse and late and don’t ask about live streaming. With all the money at the club can’t some be filtered down to the women’s team and the EDS?
Yes I would think so too, maybe more would turn up earlier then hang about after a men's game .I think the double-header idea works better when the women's or academy game is the first up rather than afterwards.
Good old BBC no mention of us going top just that Chelsea and Reading drew.
