ISO think this thread is lame
I don't post here often (if ever) I just browse. However on this point I do know the rules.
As condition of entry to any Premier or Football league ground you agree to the terms and conditions of entry. Part of then T & Cs is that all copyright
on any images taken inside the stadium belongs to the FA. This is strictly enforced by DataCo (Google it) on behalf of the FA. In effect any publishing of image of players, games etc taken in the ground could see you slapped with a charge from DataCo. The clubs are entitled to do this as the stadia are private property and owners can set their own rules regarding photography.

I would agree but the Etihad is not 'private property', it is publicly owned and leased on match days to CFG. Perhaps fans would do well to remember this well dealing with the showec ****s and the private police force they bring in when troubled (I.e. GMP)I don't post here often (if ever) I just browse.

Does this also apply to phone cameras? Or can you use the aperture leisure?I would agree but the Etihad is not 'private property', it is publicly owned and leased on match days to CFG.

Not quie true sir, CFG or MCFC if you prefer are have a ninty year lease for the stadium, not just for match days, there is an agreement that City make the stadium available for community use for a set number of days per year, however since the Acadamy was built City open this for community based activities so the stadium site is very much City's to do what they like on. Showtech are the chosen security company if you like that MCC require you to use in order to gain a safety certificate for match days and events. So unfortunately this is what is necessary today to comply with health an do safety requirements.

It is NOT 'illegal'.
However, the club is allowed to ban photography, or equipment from inside the perimeter gates. Their primary motive for this is the protection of image rights (not safety), although safety / security can also be a factor.
From outside the perimeter, there's little they can do about it, although the police COULD make a case for anti-terrorism measures, they would have to have fairly reasonable grounds for it and not just 'you can't take any photos, just in case you might be a threat'.
Sadly, if the club insists on no photography, you have to adhere to it, but in most cases, they accept that people will use camera phones and small cameras.
