Random question about Sunday

[ThurmastonFox]

Going to the match on Sunday (nothing unusual there) but I am taking a friend who's not been to a football match in the U.K. Before. They have asked if they can take in a camera or not. I've never tried so have no clue - any idea if they can or not?

[Voll Blau]

Don't think you're technically meant to but it's hardly enforceable with the ubiquity of cameraphones. As long as it's not a proper big pro thing he'll be fine.

I've seen people in the kop being asked to stop taking pics. But they were making it blatant. Depends on how the stewards feel.

Take it in !! ...    If they threaten to ban you for the rest of this season try not to laugh ...

Point and shoot pocket cameras are fine, a Rebel type SLR would probably get in but no long lenses or professional kit.  Steward may ask your pal to turn it on and take a photo if security is particularly high.

Anything that you can add on and take off you're probably getting into dodgy ground. I'm sure they would be fine, but stand there taking loads of shots with it and you might find you get pulled up for it.

don't get why people have to take pictures of everything man, just enjoy being there and view it from your own eyes, not the lense of a camera

For people that rarely get the chance to watch it in the stadium, a pic or two will mean a lot to them. Can't blame them really.

It's obviously to take photos of the current team before the mass exodus!

I've never taken anything other than P&S to KP.  Pancake or 50mm to Olympics, Wembley etc, for photos of fans not the game,  but now my phone will  do an OK job.  A couple of guys two rows in front of me spend half the match lining up shots, zooming and waiting for the ideal moment so that they miss the game and if they do get a photo of an exact beautiful moment, its blurred out with hands and clappers.  It will depend where you sit.  I'm in the middle aged section so never get searched at home.  In a livelier area, they'll likely be more concerned.  A big camera, battery pack and glass lens is heavy and really hurts if you get hit with one!

 

Micheal Regan (http://www.michaelregan.co/portfolio/football   or https://twitter.com/MichaelRegan/status/859334935114592257/photo/1 ) will likely take much better pictures of the match than your pal, and you can have some nice shots from your P&S or phone of where you were sat and your view without the stress of worrying about whether they'll take your SLR camera away.

Cheers all. For those that asked apparently it's a lumix f72 if that means anything ha ha

[lesterlad1]

The ruling is you can take as many photos as you want prior to the game and again at half time. 

 

However once the games start you are not meant to take any. 

 

However if it is a mobile le then most steward will let you use it during game as very difficult to police it

i was sat front row at Watford game guy next to me had a camera that bigger than a compact im guessing was a bridge camera no one seemed bother 

[burleighfox]

Think you're not allowed to take photos during the game; not that that stops people filming on their phones.
