The Etihad gets WiFi

[dobobobo]

My geniusphone is an Android, so I get the same problem.

Still, I would rather have and Android phone with no Flash, than and iPhone with no Flash.

If your android device has no flash, then you're doing it wrong.

Aye, but more a case of me refraining from taking the risk in fucking up my phone for the sake of getting Flash. I've looked, but never found a suitable option. A lot of sites have done the sensible thing in offering alternatives, the only major site that remains for me is the BBC News website.

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.

Extricom supports it. They have it at the Emirates, and another few large venues I think. They use a single "channel blanket" rather than channels 1/6/11.

Picture this in a few short months it will just like home no chatting but plenty of people what apping each while sat on the same sofa
no-one watching the game thousands peering in to a smart phone moaning about bandwidth
the eithad it will become a bag snatchers paradise

only glad that we don't play when x factor is on or how fat is your tadpole the brutal truth twitter would go into meltdown

What the fuck has happened to football?

In a nutshell. Who gives a fuck about wi fi at a match.

if the club don't offer this WiFi for free then it's a business opportunity missed as providing WiFi would enable fans to do all sorts of stuff from their seats such as Betting, ordering Food/Drink, and the ability to upload video/pics to the internet and create social media relevant to City = more exposure for the club.

Ordering drinks and food would be a nightmare.

8000 points + cup scheme means you get served first (just before HT)

Blue members can expect to be served sometime after the match has finished.
