    Barcelona Champions League Anniversary Special #2 - Nikki Watts
    2024/11/13
    10 years ago this November, Bristol Academy WFC beat Barcelona in the UEFA Women's Champions League. Bristol Academy - the Vixens - were established in 2005 and became founder members of the WSL in 2011. In the club's short history, we punched well above our weight: twice FA Cup finalists (2011 and 2013) and WSL runners-up in 2013. The Vixens also qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League twice. In 2011 we got knocked out in the first round. In 2014 Bristol Academy reached the quarter-finals, losing to eventual winners Frankfurt, but beating Barcelona along the way. That's right, Bristol Academy beat Barcelona! This special commemorative edition of the Bristol City Vixencast celebrates the 2014 Champions League cup run. Across two episodes, released on the anniversaries of the 1st and 2nd legs, we reflect on the significance of Academy's achievements - always the underdog, always fighting together, against the odds, to win a match no one thought we could. In this episode we talk with Nikki Watts, who held it together to score that penalty which won us the tie. These conversations are much more than a trip down memory lane, they are a refusal to forget the foundations of top-level women's football in Bristol. They are a refusal to forget when Bristol Academy beat Barcelona in the Champions League. ** Many thanks to Tash Harding and Nikki Watts for sharing their memories with us. Thanks also to Ed Hadwin and BBC Radio Bristol for allowing us to use the commentary from the match, which captures the electric atmosphere, euphoria and noise. Props also to Annie Heatherson, for some amazing co-comms.

    S5 #14 Brighton & Hove Albion (H) & Leicester (A)
    2024/03/05

    Have we finally arrived in the WS Hell?

    After two absurd drubbings - 5-2 at Leicester and 3-7 at home, to Brighton & Hove Albion - it looks like the end of the top flight road for Bristol City Women. And it's only the start of March.

    Where do we go from here?

    Nat & D-M try to understand what happened in our last two league encounters. Not sure we get to the bottom of it!

    We also discuss the 'Future Indirect Fires Conference', which took place at Ashton Gate 5-6 March.

D-M & Nat discuss City Women's battling, earn-your-luck draw, which saw formation changes and stellar full 90+5 performances from the whole team, with notable mentions to Thestrup, Yanez and that Carrie Jones worldie.

    Season 5 #11 West Ham (H) - 28/01/24
    2024/01/29
    City lose at home (again!) This is getting frustrating... Despite the great atmosphere, despite 6,000 home supporters cheering our team on, City fell at the most cruel of hurdles against a match-smart West Ham, who lapped up the expansive Ashton Gate pitch, their win orchestrated by a majestic performance from the midfield dynamo, Katrina Gorry. Gutted. Two huge matches in January, two relegation six pointers, absolutely nil points to show for it. Where do we go from here? D-M and Nat explore our options as we stare down the barrel of another stern WSL test: Aston Villa, at the Poundland Bescot Stadium in Walsall, this coming Saturday. Oh, and happy birthday Shahan for Sunday! COYR! Vixens ‘Til We Die! COYR! Follow on X @BCVixenCast and on Instagram @bcvixencast

    Season 5 #10 Brighton & Hove Albion (A) - 21/01/24
    2024/01/22

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!

    City Women lose on the road, that wasn't meant to happen! Foiled by a last minute Terland strike in an entertaining ding dong against a determined Brighton & Hove Albion side.

    Join us as we relive what was - nonetheless - a fun away day.

    D-M speaks with several City Women supporters (and one BHAWFC fan) about Saturday night transfer news dropping; Panini Stickers; everything that happened on a windy Sunday afternoon in Crawley, and the looming battle with West Ham.

    Thanks to everyone who contributed.

    Season 5 #9 Chelsea (H) and special bumper episode featuring Duncan from SheGulls!
    2024/01/10
    Happy 2024 City Women fans! Ok, it might be a bit too late to be saying that, but it's our first episode of the year, so let us off! D-M and Nat return with a bumper episode in which we discuss the not as bad as it could have been 3-0 defeat to Chelsea before Xmas; our newest goalkeeping recruit Shae Yanez; loving Amy Rodgers and bumping into Brighton's Julia Margareta Zigiotti Olme and Emma Kullberg at Gatwick airport. We also feature a very special guest: Brighton Hove & Albion WFC supporter Duncan Price. Duncan is the founder of She Gulls, a group who are helping to develop the supporter experience down in B right on. We talked about pretty much everything Brighton and Bristol related, but highlights include: growing the audience for women's football and different approaches pursued by our clubs; the Albion season so far; the need for both our teams to have a good transfer window and of course - of course we did - Sophie Baggaley!
