WestStandStartTheBounce Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I always struggle to get a mobile signal at pride park so I can't check on scores as the game is happening. I understand the technical reasons and the limitation of a mobile network. What would be great is if Derby county could provide a free WiFi connection for supporters in the stadium. Would anyone know who you could approach in the club to ask about this. I know it wouldn't be cheap to set this up for 30,000 supporters and maybe it is just a perk for season ticket holders but I'm sure most people have the same problem.

ossieram Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Maybe you could go for 90 minutes without checking the scores! The only score that matters to me when I'm at the match is the one in the match we are playing at the time.

angieram Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Mel Morris was asked about this years ago at SCG and said the cost was prohibitive. That was when we had money, so now we don't.... ??♀️ Just be grateful for small mercies, like flushing loos , enough loos and hot water. None of which were available to us women at Home Park last night. Nishfan, SKRam and 48 hours 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkleyram Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Allegedly, in the South Stand certain genders and younger people get very good signals on their phones throughout the match. Perhaps that’s the place to be. ariotofmyown and NottsRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Never have trouble when I spend all game browsing on my phone. Not sure what people are complaining about. CBRammette and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Perhaps the advertising hoardings facing the fans could run score updates between adverts. Boycie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s all focus on the game we’re watching and restrict score updates to the big screen at half and full time. SKRam and Kathcairns 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, for years I could never get any signal worth the effort in East Stand but for some reason I seem to be able to get a passable signal (albeit sketchy) since I moved to South Stand. I'm on the same network as I have been for a while (Vodafone). Maybe all that youthful energy and positivity is boosting my phone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 What would be the business case? Hotels, cafes, gyms, whatever might provide free WiFi to entice me in to their establishment rather than one next door. I’m going to Pride Park anyway and not likely to go to the City Ground because I can check my emails while watching the match. Wifi also isn’t complementary to the business. A gym might offer it so I can stream my music while using the equipment. Not the case at Pride Park. So, notwithstanding the technical challenges, it really wouldn’t be worth the expense.
