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 ?

Must be more women using it in East Stand ?

We don’t get hot water in the East stand Angie. You’re all spoilt pensioners treating the ground as a warm room in my opinion. You should be charged double. You’ll be telling me the hand drier works next!  

Its too hot to wash hands though in West stand

And it's not true anyway as there is hot water in East Stand at under 21 and cup matches.

It’s only switched on when we have guests.?

I get a single at pp but single not the best through.

I bet you’d be smashed if you were on doubles.

 

I get signal during the game, I think it’s because I have 5G and there isn’t enough people on it yet to swamp the network.

[CBRammette]

Wifi at PP for fans who apoarently go to watch football/support team or use money for other things - tricky one

[Boycie]

Try getting WiFi at Wembley, a ground sponsored by EE.

Then you’ll understand the problem.

There genuinely isn’t hot water in the toilets I use. It used to be so hot that it would burn your flesh off but no longer. I would rather have a midfielder who can put a tackle in though.

So in the toilets at pride park you would rather have a midfielder who can put his tackle in than hot water

It would be relatively easy I would have thought to make that phone that Stevie Mac used to use in the stands (to contact Simmo) freely available for public use. Perhaps someone could volunteer then to keep the scores updated on a whiteboard?

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.

I take my Tranny 

(Transistor Radio) for any youngsters ?

It's asked at most SCG meetings, January this year being the latest and it's pretty much the same answer every time. Just not possible to have Wi-Fi.

Great idea. Let's all stay glued to our phones instead of watching the game. (#sarcasm alert)

According to some eejit on Twitter, all the women in the South Stand spend all game on their phones.... We should all complain to the club the women are nicking all the available bandwidth ?

[LN747]

Take me back to 88/89 when there were no phones , life was free and easy, Goddard and Saunders were smashing Arsenal Spurs Everton and Forest and we were on the brink of Europe again

[Reggie Greenwood]

Apparently Forest are investing in tech consummate with the standard of the Council Tip. Fans will be able to use the new fangled fax machine for a small contribution to Mr Marinikas’s laundry and bakery operations

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. 

No its not. I have no signal n South Stand ( or outside the stand either), either wifi or my own network. And it is annoying because there is a lad on the row in front who spends 70 to 80% of the match with his back to the pitch telling us the latest scores and team news for everyone from PL to the Outer Hebrides Sunday School reserves league. Well he would tell us if we listened. But it’s “Sorry mate. I’ve got a match to watch”!

What gender do they identify as? 

(Asking for a friend who thinks only females do this.)

Red-blooded male, if I am still allowed to say that!

Here to play devils advocate. Maybe people would spend less time checking their phones if the scores didn't take 10 mins to update.
