Not all in the loos.
Instead the obsession with downing pints in plastic glasses, whilst the match is on.

Because of the beer?

I didn't miss 90 minutes. I missed 5. Annoying thing being it was during the 5 minutes we scored twice. Wish I could say it's the first time it's happened...

That's not strictly true. There is often a patchy bit at the north end of WSL. Never understood why, but it certainly stands out. As for empty seats, one of the Jnr Bobkins made the decision not to come as he wasn't feeling great so there was a space next to us.If I could have filled the gap I would have, but it's easier said than done – a lot of people were probably in a similar situation. These things happen and it honestly doesn't bother me in the slightest.
The fans who WERE there made an excellent racket. Not on the level of the Man City game (unsurprisingly), but decent nonetheless.

What's your point ? I heard an interview and can't remember hours later the exact words. If you're that bothered look it up yourself.

If you say so. 'A team that's got everyone behind them' for example http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x606sem

Lay off the grog Kid Frankie, lay off the grog. It's what Tamir would have wanted.

One great point was when the entire North Stand appeared to be singing as one!
It's a fair point and is completely right of course but when you've had a few beers already, with mates and well................ you're all borderline alcoholics............. it happens.
Don't worry so much. You were drinking beer....... we know...we understand. You've done nothing wrong.

Your support is not that great
North Stand was superb on Saturday from my position in the East. Made a mockery of the protest we've heard in the past: "We can't sing in unison because the acoustics don't let us hear the other end of the stand" etc.
It can be done!
I don't think it's not being able to hear as such but it's different groups starting songs at the same time, and then stubbornly continuing their chant rather than dropping it and adopting the other one. I'm right behind the goal and every game without fail there is a point where those to my left start singing something different to those on my right and you either pick a side or stay quiet.
Why are there never any videos of this? I would love to hear what the North Stand sounds like from another stand. The videos I normally find are just of kids talking to their phones as if they're working for Sky Sports and showing goal celebrations. It's all 'me, me, me'.
Maybe the club could do something like they did for the West Stand at the end of the game the other day. Sounded good.
It was sold out. The empty seats were most likely a result of fans going to the concourse either side of half time. If everyone went at half time, it would be chaos. There are always going to be people who can't make a game here and there.
Sounds like you're between the two groups, so you should start the songs so they can both join in.
I certainly give it a good go (voice is still sore today). I think there's a group of blokes who know each other to my left though, or at least a group of more willing singers who join in with whoever leads the chant. Unfortunatly it feels like a lot of the people in my imediate area only like to sing when everyone is singing. I guess people don't like to draw attention to themselves if other's don't join in.

Best atmosphere at the Amex I've experienced I think.
