Bristol City move to Bath for new season

Bristol City will play their Women's Super League fixtures at Bath City's Twerton Park stadium next season after confirming a move away from their previous home at Stoke Gifford.

Some matches will also be played at Ashton Gate, home of Bristol City's men's team and the Bristol Bears rugby union side.

The club justified the 15-mile relocation to the 3,528-capacity ground: "The switch in home venue enables attendances to increase further and, subject to the easing of Covid-19 restrictions, present even more supporters with the exciting opportunity to watch the Robins squad, which is filled with internationals and exciting young talent from across the world.

"The move to Twerton Park will provide supporters with upgraded facilities creating a better matchday experience with more food and drink options, better transport links, as well as greater seating access."

 The new WSL season begins on the weekend of 5/6 September with the opening fixtures due to be announced on Friday.
