Harry - LCFC Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 No need to worry then, by the end of the season we'll have 32,000 spectators standing and singing "non-cringeworthy" songs. To be honest I'm not worried at all and I hope I haven't sounded too reactionary here I'm actually very pleased with how things are going, I just feel it's worth putting my point across to help things ticking along in what I think is the right direction.

Larry_LCFC Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 Wouldn't mind WiFi if it was just turned on pre match, at half time and post match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 Why is this thought of as more of an issue now as ever before, when the stadium has never, ever sounded so loud and enthusiastic in the countless games I've been to down there than it did at the weekend?

Bamba's Babes Posted 18 August 2014 Share Posted 18 August 2014 Only use my phone at Half-time, nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cecchini Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 The installation of WIFI is usually sponsored by the betting companies. They make huge amounts on live betting services during the game. I work in the industry, most are pushing hard to get this done. Its not at all responsible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thybluefox Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 Those of you who struggle getting 3G signal (or have signal but can't send/receive texts & data) - its simply down to the masts that cover the ground being overloaded with the amount of people in the area. I have known people who live near the ground and they lose signal for a couple of hours whenever theres a game on. You'll also notice that signal is much better at cup games when there's a lower attendance. If you're on 4G, like I am, then signal is fine as there are less users on it, and the bandwidth capacity is higher. In terms of offering WiFi to all fans - the costing would be astronomical. Aside providing the infrastructure to create a reliable signal around the whole stadium, dedicated fibre-optic lines would have to be laid to the ground to handle the amount of data 32,000 people would require. It'd be crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hungry Hungry Fox Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 I think I might just use my phone a bit more, now that I know how it seems to annoy sa lot of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammie82uk Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 It could take off whether people like it or not Man City and Brighton already have wifi installed for fans, Liverpool trialed it and have it in one stand, wembley has it and in America the NFL are looking at introducing it as a stadium requirement in their regulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 20 August 2014 Share Posted 20 August 2014 The 3G is annoying because I like to check scores at half time. Club only put the Premier League scores on the screen on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
