Summary
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast we focus on the improvement in the atmosphere at Arsenal Women matches, home and away, this season. First Tim chats to Arsenal Women Supporters Club Treasurer Brian Kelly to talk about how the supporters club have worked with Arsenal for improvements on ticketing, dedicated Arsenal sections at away games and creating a sense of community among the supporters. Then Tim chats to Eve, Lauren and Dalia from AWFC Home and Away to talk about writing player chants, the burgeoning social scene around home and away games and creating a women's football fan culture that isn't just focused on families and children.
Tim also took his dictaphone into the Meadow Park North Bank on a chilly Wednesday evening to sample some of the aural delights of this growing community.

| 1:05.5 | Askplug.com with me your presenter Tim Stillman and this week on this episode we're going to do something a little bit different |
| 1:13.5 | and something I've been really wanting to do particularly this season and I think it won't have escaped most of your notice |

| 1:23.5 | Obviously there's been a lot of talk about swelling crowd numbers this season in the wake of the lioness's Euro success |
| 1:29.5 | but I think at Medo Park you've probably seen and if not seen heard that the big improvement in the atmosphere |
| 1:36.5 | as well and kind of fans clubbing together, fans going to away games, away ends becoming more of a regular thing in the WSL. |
| 1:45.5 | And I really think that's really added something to the experience and it's something I've been banging on and on and on about |
| 1:54.5 | for a long long time because I really think that women's football the product as it were has really needed this. |
