westonred Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 It will be linked to the cafes and bars in the ground so you can order your teas, coffees beers food etc from your seat to be collected at HT. Order items from club shop. Watch replays of goals scored etc it sounds awesome as long as its cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexukhc Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Take the gf to see City she goes on Facebook, or not! It's enough when people start filming the game watching through their phone, ffs watch the game with your eyes, experience that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Vodafone 3G is a chocolate teapot at the Gate I'd pay for wi-fi. Due to the amount of users trying to access it.. All about capacity. Orange 4g works a treat because hardly anyone has if. Wifi is susceptible to same issue so would have to have massive capaicity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYTRAM Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 The purchasing of goods via phone is not that new 'The Pie App' as it's called is used at Turf Moor and has been for at least a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philly The Kid Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Interesting to see how the Premier League will react to THEIR product being streamed from Stadia when they own the rights.... Knowing how money oriented it is, It wouldn't surprise me if some sort of limitation is placed on the set up to either prevent streaming, or, the connection fee includes a licence charge for which the Premier league gets a kick back.

Aizoon Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 O2 is fine then half time comes and nothing works because it's clogged! VF clogs as soon as there's more than 1000 in the ground PS As to "turn off the phone and watch the footy" - it's sometimes vital to know how the other games are going. Try doing that on VF 3G at the Gate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few firewall rules dictating what traffic can go over the network would fix this pretty quickly. Wifi can also be used for location tracking and any misuse can quickly be dealt with.

Free WiFi for ST would be a real bonus rather than vouchers for burgers etc. Good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 About time really, always amazed me how this isn't common place in this day and age! The density of fans creates huge cost. Used once every 2 weeks that's capacity just sitting around earning nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRaw Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Used once every 2 weeks that's capacity just sitting around earning nothing. But there's also going to be the rugby, corporate events, conferences etc........Ashton Gate will no longer be just a football stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 But there's also going to be the rugby, corporate events, conferences etc........Ashton Gate will no longer be just a football stadium Once a week then? A corporate event here and there with a hundred or two hundred attendees doesn't do the capacity justice. Its still a massive over-capacity 95% of the time.
