Football fans the winners as signal-boosting app heads to more stadiums Brighton & Hove Albionâs clever signal-sharing app gets Football League backing just in time for the new season by Tom Wiggins31 July 2014 An app that aims to end the problem of bad phone signal in big stadiums is heading to more football grounds around the country, including Loftus Road, home of newly promoted QPR. Originally developed for Brighton & Hove Albion by a team at the University of Sussex, the free Android and iOS app creates a network between phones within the stadium to share what little signal is available. Within the app fans can then check scores, team info and more while they sup a half-time pint or force down a soggy pie (unless theyâre at Brightonâs Amex Stadium, where the pies really are excellent). Now Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Bolton, Watford and Premier League n00bs Queens Park Rangers have signed up to use the technology for their own signal-sharing apps, with more clubs hoping to follow soon. http://www.stuff.tv/football-fans-winner-signal-boosting-phone-app-heads-more-stadiums/news
Some on here may find this app useful. I've now moved on to 4G so it will be interesting to see if that improves my connectivity in the ground. I could barely get a signal last season.
9s, 4G made a huge difference to me in PU. Previously seldom either 3G or telephone. Loads better with 4G.
Some fans spend time sharing goals going in around the country rather than watching the game in place.
