Many visitors to the UK hope to take in a football match while they’re here. If you’ve ever wondered what watching a game in Britain is really like, especially from the stands rather than the screen, then this might be the series of posts for you. Following Arsenal Women: N5 and Beyond is a a collection of my own personal storytelling about what it feels like to support the Arsenal Women football team: from the quiet build-up of nerves before match day, to the joy and solidarity of standing alongside fellow fans.

Join me on my journey from experiencing an Arsenal Women game live to watching a game at the Emirates for the first time ever as I dive into following Arsenal Women and women’s football not just as a photographer or writer, but as a supporter discovering what the game can mean. Whether it’s walking North London streets to the Emirates on match day, or reflecting on the anxieties and hopes that come with fandom, these are my personal stories of football, feeling, and finding a place in the crowd.
