I'm not sure it would be little or no cost. To cover 15,000+ potential users is a pretty big ask IMO, not to mention hardware costs

If you have 3g or 4g phones why not just use your providers network?

People spend too much time with their nose glued to the phone as it is. There's 14,000 people there and you can't find 1 person to talk to?

Everywhere should have free wi-fi, it should be a law.

It would only cost the club a few K to implement and could be a an enhanced selling point as part of the match day experience.

Couple of seasons ago there was a Wi-Fi Network that we could connect too, especially from the South Stand.
Haven't seen that for a while.

Precisely. Internet it killing human communication. I'll be wearing a Clash jacket, if anyone wants a chat, say hello

Indifferent. Don't bother with my phone unless I'm working.

Irony.

You should be watching what's on the pitch not on a little device in your hand

Only reason I use my phone at the rugby is to check other results. I'd much prefer to have the results on a scrolling bar at the top/bottom of the screen.

Mine works OK can't see what the problem is - it would be a it odd in having modern communications in a 1930's stadum!!

Perhaps he money would be better spent on putting appropriate seating in the north stand and recyclng Thomas Chippendale's finest.

I've had a reply from the club that should satisfy most of you on here.
It is too expensive to cover the whole stadium, though what that cost is hasn't been given.
I did then ask if certain areas eg the Carnegie Bar, Sports Bar or Long Room Bar could be made into free wi-fi zones. I've yet to receive an answer to that.
I have a 4G phone but find it impossible to get the internet in the ground.
Of course that may be because I'm an old fogey & not totally au fait with how to get connected.

FWIW I can never get any internet connection in HQ when I attempt to connect to my own mobile internet, despite getting full phone signal. The SS must be made of some old-fashioned, internet-repelling metal that lets no connectivity permeate through.

Also, the irony of people deriding the use of the internet rather than communicating face-to-face with their fellow fans is not lost on me, on this internet fans' forum! Are we going to make this a 'all meet up and have a chinwag face-to-face several times a year' group?

I wonder if so, if everyone would just be trying to connect to the internet on their phones as they would be unsure what to say to each other!

I probably sit more on the side of 'talk to the person physically beside you, rather than send a Facebook message to someone who isn't there' whilst in the stadium. So despite my complaint, I actually think the current situation is the least worst of the two options. It does remind me of this last year though... www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... ifi-access Wonder if the PSV fans will do a second-hand deal to Leeds Rhinos fans on their banner, if there is enough support for it..?
