So far the Manchester United fans were only thinking about the opening game of the season and the much expected arrival of Louis Van Gaal. Now, there are other things to consider when one is going to the football mach at Old Trafford.
Probably the most famous English football club, Manchester United, has baned tablets and other large electronic devices from their home games. So if you are thinking about bringing your iPad to the game, think again, because you will not be allowed to enter the stadium with that device. Even iPad Mini is baned. Only thing that is allowed are smartphones, guess that should be more then enough.
Well, what could possibly be the reason for this decision, maybe the people that are running Manchester United don't want to see the fans of the club clicking on their laptops and tablets. Maybe they just want to see people enjoy the game. No it's not that at all. According to them tablets and laptops are a security risk, apparently a lot of things can be smuggled inside these tiny devices.
At the airport the security checks each device, but that would be impossible on football stadiums. Especially on such as Old Trafford, this stadium holds 75 thousand fans, it would take a long time to search that many people. So instead Manchester United officials just decided to go with the ban on these electronic devices.
Another popular sport club, New York Yankees baned iPads in 2010, but two years later they canceled that decision. People do like their iPads and tablets. Wander will Old Trafford be a tougher nut to crack, and how long will this ban be in place.
Seriously, this doesn't seam like such a though break for the fans of Manchester United. Do we really need to take our tablets to the sporting events, can't we hold on for 90 minutes without this device. And if we really need to take a photo or tweet about something, smartphones are allowed. They should be more then enough for one sports game.
