The Etihad gets WiFi

I've had no signal issues in the stadium at all since moving onto 4g anyways, but the wifi is a great idea imo
 
I think this is a good idea as has already been mentioned for half time before and maybe checking other scores. Not too sure about the other stuff sounds a bit gimmicky and more like you'd rather be watching sky sports than a live game but well see what they have to offer. I did wonder if I could get 3G in other stadiums such as wembley built by a backwards organisation why couldn't I get some sort of service at the etihad!?
 
It's a sign of the times. I wouldn't dream of using the Internet in the stadium but I guess it's good for those who want to. Football is now an experience. I'm old and prefer the good old days with atmosphere and edge.

I am completely underwhelmed by this news.

I can honestly say I have never had the urge to phone anyone when watching football, neither have I ever fretted that i've missed a call.

In fact, I can now imagine bored kids and other supporters sitting there in silence texting all the time, or even worse, waving fucking i-Pads around recording bits and sending them on. Knobs permanently on Twitter. People trying to Skype each other, it's the beginning of the end!

All you need at football is a terrace to stand on, pies to eat, beer to drink n fags to smoke. Job done!

Hi Fred, you go to the games with Barney rubble don't you?
 
Doesnt work very well in Madrid and wont work very well here. There are currently no technologies which can support that volume of users on wi-fi in such a condensed area. If you are on O2 you will be able to make calls, but I will be very surprised if the free wi-fi does what they say it will.
 
Night games will see all the faces of wi-fi users lit with a ghostly glow, off their devices.
