Yes, Shed Lower Block 6. Best crowd participation at any Stamford Bridge game so far. Not the best noise overall because we've had much bigger crowds. In terms of people individually showing vocal support for the team however, definitely the best.

I was trying to encourage people around me to stand, because we all tend to make more noise when we're on our feet. Only partial success with that but, in fairness to a group of people behind me who wanted to sit, they all said they were fine with me standing even if it meant blocking their view sometimes. That was the right attitude but naturally I would never be comfortable standing and enjoying myself when I know it means damaging someone else's enjoyment of the game, so I mostly kept to my seat. 

The atmosphere was encouraging last night, and it could be seen that the players were lifted by it, but it still was not where it should be. I'll be attending a meeting of the Chelsea Women Fan Forum next week and atmosphere in the ground is on the agenda for discussion. (It should also be on the agenda for the mens forum by the way.) 

Does anyone reading this, weather you go to women's games or not, have any ideas about how we can get more people to back the team vocally during matches?

One chant which absolutely never catches on at women's games is Carefree. To me that's a big shame because, whenever Stamford Bridge is truly rocking, Carefree thunders around the ground. I can't say this for sure but I suspect that it doesn't catch on because a significant percentage of people don't want to chant the F-word. I have never sung that line myself and I never will, but the culture of womens' football seems to reject it.

Suspecting that people won't sing the original version I try to encourage them to sing, "And we know no fear" instead but I'm pretty much the only one who uses that line. I just can't get people to agree that it's more important to chant things that inspire and motivate the team, than it is to exercise their right to sing whatever the F they want to.

DZAN usually put the big WCL games on their website rather than on their YouTube channel. Still free though.
