ossieram Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Brilliant footage. Looks fantastic at night. Well done Nigel Pickering and Jim Smith. Now all we need is getting back to Premiership. Google are planning to deliver pies to your seat at half time using drones. They say they will still be hot when you get them. Who is Nigel Pickering? Is he related to Lionel?

Animal is a Ram Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-29645580 Unmanned drone flights spotted flying over English football grounds are being investigated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The remote-controlled aircraft flew over stadiums recently in Nottingham and Derby as games were under way. The flights could be in breach of legislation that states they must not be flown within 150m of built-up areas. A drone enthusiast, who did not want to be named, filmed videos over cities but said he believed he followed the rules. Supt Mark Holland, from Nottinghamshire Police, said: "We've had a couple of incidents here in Nottingham where we've had drones flying over a Nottingham Forest game and also a Notts County match. "Clearly we are concerned around public safety. These drones can weigh quite a number of kilos and once it's out of sight... it could cause some problems." Jonathan Nicholson, a spokesman for the CAA, said: "The rules that apply in the UK apply to everyone. It doesn't matter if you are going to fly over the football ground. a park or anywhere else... you should not fly any kind of drone within 150m of a built-up area." He added: "The police [in Nottingham] did intercept somebody and we are working with Nottinghamshire Police in an ongoing investigation." Further legislation forbids flying within 150m of a large gathering of people in open spaces, the CAA said. But one man, who posts videos to his YouTube Channel PV2+ Adventures, said he did not believe he had broken any rules. The Nottingham man, who flies drones as a hobby, said he practised for many months in empty spaces before flying in cities. "I believe I am within the rules. People can be negative because it is something new and they don't understand it. "I think the rules say you have to be more than 50m from built-up areas and that's at take off. As long as you keep it within sight it's fine. "I'm not saying problems can't happen but they are down to poor piloting. It's only like people driving a car badly." He added that he stopped flying at the Nottingham Forest game after police spoke to him but said there was another drone there that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Source? Link? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-29689360 A man has been arrested after a drone was flown over Manchester City's home game with Tottenham Hotspur. Greater Manchester Police said the 41-year-old man, from Nottingham, was arrested in the nearby Asda car park. The drone was spotted flying over the East stand of the Etihad Stadium during City's 4-1 victory on Saturday. A GMP spokesman said the man was arrested on suspicion of breaching the Air Navigation Order and released on police bail for eight weeks. Ch Insp Chris Hill, said: "The drones could pose a threat to crowd safety and potentially cause alarm in crowded areas. "Even small drones can weigh up to seven or eight kilograms and could cause damage or injury if they fall from height. Thankfully, no-one was hurt." He added: "People may see this as a minor offence but it is a breach of the Air Navigation Order, which is prosecuted by the Civil Aviation Authority."
