Quote: Marcus Notsquare "Cameras have always been banned from sports grounds, yet at some international soccer matches there is a constant lightshow of flashlights (that have no effect on the finished photo). So long as you don't appear to be taking for professional purposes there should be no problem. I've regularly taken basic digital cameras to Cup Finals and Grand Finals.'"
There's been a lot of leniancy with camera's in the past 4/5 years due to mobile phones having camera's built into them.
Everyone one as a mobile and the last 2 years i've been to wembley i've seen people with digital camera's taking photo's in the ground, i've done it myself. So i cant see any problem taking a long lensed camera in. Just put it at the bottom of your bag with something on top of it. Good luck.
