It is the fact it was anight match, if you rely on public transport you are lucky if you get home on the same day.Just so. Puzzling. I strongly suspect that it's the men who swell the numbers for the derby, because they'll go along to see anything in the hopes of seeing the evil rags beaten. Were there many men there last night, though? I was paying attention, and there really didn't seem to be many.
On another topic: I've got a good friend, long-standing from college days, who strenuously objects to being called a “lady”. And I've got another good friend who strenuously objects to being called anything else!
Complicated, the wimmin, aren't they?
Apologies for this. I should have shown them more respect and called them what they are - young footballers.Thought the young girls did really well. Prior, Murphy, Layzell and LBB and didn't let us down. Having said that, Mary is only 21 and then Jess.
Great night.
Great night for City women. Very little passing back, very little passing sideways, energy levels high, skills abundant and two great goals.
Why was this?…..Taylor has gone and the team like each other.
Onwards and upwards
I thought it was interesting that Steph was on the bench last night, has there been anything official about that ? She was sat with Lauren on Saturday, though couldn't make out if they were on the bench or in the stands as I only saw it once.
Thanks, must have missed that news, but good move all round, I wonder if that is why Cushing is "interim" ?Yep it was confirmed this week that she's joined Cushing's coaching staff and she was on the touchline with him last night.
Really astute move! Steph's clearly been coaching the players in an unofficial capacity for a while now (including under Taylor). Seems perfect timing to make it official. She played under Cushing and is a good bridge between past and present which should help both the players and the coach get to know eachother.
She's clearly respected by the squad too.
With Cushing's appointment presently just interim, it's a great way of getting Steph some more experience working with someone she knows and respects.

Stick to my first response eh,you'll be more comfortable !!
I've watched City since 1958 from a 6 year old, home, away and abroad.Aww. What’s it like in that hole you’re digging.
Maybe Pep is reading your comments to get some ideas on how to run a team when you’ve got 4 major injuries. Perhaps you could offer him some constructive advice rather than just criticising
Would be more helpful & would demonstrate whether you know anything about managing a team rather than doing what any Tom DICK & Harry can do over a pint.

13 season tickets in ESL3,Centre block.
Run u12s team in Lepton, second in league & ditto in Jumeirah.
Pepball is currently shite as evidenced by our league position and cup exits.
I don't subscribe to the fanboy/girl adoration, I seen em all come and go.
Don't bother the forum with a reply they're busy waiting for something more important !!

There is something wrong when the ladies play the rags and get 44,000 but play the chavs in the semi final of a chumps league and can barely muster 4,000 in a 7,000 stadium.
I never intended to infer that it did. You raised the issue of the poor attendance, I posted the club's official view, for context. FWIW, I agree with you. It's odd that they couldn't sell out for that game last night.4000 in a 7000 stadium after getting 46,000 against the rags doesn't answer the question mate.
The clubs marketing/rallying call to fans to turn out on a pleasant spring evening was appalling.I never intended to infer that it did.

So how would you describe it.If it was shite we’d be in the drop zone.
