    Nicked of rtg.

    No ipads etc.

    Good idea?



    Manchester United have banned fans from bringing iPads and other tablet devices into Old Trafford, according to a message to supporters, the Manchester Evening News reports .

    In an e-mail sent to Reds fans ahead of United’s friendly against Valencia on Tuesday, the club states that iPads and other electronic devices larger than 150mm x 100mm are now banned from the ground.

    It is believed the move has been made to stop supporters recording large portions of live matches on their tablet devices.

    The e-mail reads: “We want to make you aware of an update to our Club policy regarding home matches.

    “Supporters cannot bring large electronic devices (bigger than 150mmx100mm) inside the stadium.

    “For example, iPads or other tablet devices and laptops are now prohibited.

    “Also please be aware that large bags, large cameras and liquids (with the exception of a small bottle of water with the top removed) are included in our list of prohibited items.”

    In a way I kind of agree, when you see fans holding their ipads up they look daft and can obstruct the view of those behind them

    What i find strange though is surely you can record the game better on a phone/camera (due to a higher MP) and then simply transfer it to a laptop...

    Better quality

    I think I'd slap someone if I seen them sat at the match with a ****ing iPad.

    I only whip my phone out to check my coupon, not that you can ever get ****ing signal anyway.

    EE works in the ground on 4G, quick refresh to check scores or browse the match thread at half time 4G is the way to go

    Really? It's one of my pet hates, mind, o2 doesn't work anywhere nowadays.

    I'm out of contract so I'll be going 4G, but I wanna hang on for the iPhone 6, if I get a 5s and the 6 comes out next month as rumoured I'll be pissed!

    Should ban them at concerts too, all I see nowadays is a see of mobile phones recording it. Whats the point? the sound is ****e and most of the time all you can see is the back of someone elses head. Then people get pissed and lose there: tablet, phone etc... and ring me up moaning about it.

    Hull have their own wifi, they moan that it's parental lock blocks out betting sites. Their own ****ing WIFI! Please say we don't have that. We are there to watch a ****ing football match not surf the net. if you can't manage on 3g or 4g there's something seriously wrong.
