The way it spread around the ground, i thought we were looking at a potential fatality.

Idiots.

Do you not think people not knowing how serious the situation COULD HAVE BEEN, contributed to people wanting the game stopped - or trying to bring the incident to the attention of the players and officials? A lot of people are rightly worried and on edge about medical emergencies considering the high profile incidents in the last few years. No-one pays £20 quid to go and watch football and scream at the ref to stop the game for the sake of it

The lady wasn't just feeling unwell, she collapsed. AT THAT POINT IN TIME IT WAS A POTENTIAL FATALITY. If it was in front of you, you would ignore it and continue watching the game ? Not sure a game should continue in those circumstances. Lady recovers and the game continues, what's the problem ?

I take it you sit close to the lady? Of course I’d expect those nearby to bring the matter to the attention of the stewards. Id also expect the stewards made the ref aware and have no issue if he chose to halt proceedings whilst she was treated.

I can’t understand why people in the North and West were chanting for the game to be stopped when they had no idea what was going on. That is my only point.

But some people in the West and East and North were doing exactly that, screaming at the ref just for the sake of it as they had no idea what was going on.

If paying football fans are screaming for the game to be stopped, it's quite likely they genuinely believe something really serious has happened - even if they've got that impression from somewhere else in the ground.

Be nice if the whole ground joined in more often with chants eminating from the South Stand.
