    Does the wifi work these days? Usually use 02 wifi but just wondered what the ground's wifi is like.

    I was sitting next to a kid at a game last season who was playing FIFA on a DS as Charlton while the real Charlton were in action right in front of him...

    Who won?
    The kid, he wasn't watching the stuff on the pitch.

  • Didn't seem to work very well yesterday, though to be honest it was the least of my concerns...

    Wifi was bad last night (East Stand). Just wanted to check the other scores but my iPhone said there was no network even though the signal symbol looked OK. Switched to 4g.

    Same here. At one point I was forced to actually watch the match instead of checking social media!!

    To be fair, the wifi stopped working after 5 mins.

    Might've been due to people streaming other games, and tv to watch instead. Lad behind me was watching Jeremy Kyle.

    I really that last bit was a joke, but alas no.

    Since the WiFi's gone in I just use my 4g and it's great compared to how it used to be. Probably 'cause everyone else is trying to use the WiFi.

    The Wi-Fi is of paramount importance to me because when my son accompanies me at weekends games he needs to watch Peppa Pig or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles constantly

    Football: English stadiums to get free wi-fi for some apps
    BBC
    England's Football League has announced that free wi-fi, for a particular set of official apps, will be made available at Championship, League One and League Two stadiums.
    Fans will be able to access club-branded apps to get news, social media content, highlights and betting.
    However access to the wider internet would not be possible.
    The Football League said "the majority" of clubs had signed up to participate in the deal.
    A full list of confirmed participating clubs will be announced after 30 June.
    British wi-fi provider Intechnology will implement the service.
    In an online article, the Football League said the service would "deliver the complete digital match day experience to supporters".
    The free wi-fi would come as a boon to fans who had been frustrated with overloaded mobile networks at half-time, according to Intechnology chief executive Peter Wilkinson.
    Having to use 3G or 4G services could also be expensive, he added.
    However, wi-fi at sports events does not always prove popular with fans.
    In 2014, supporters at PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands protested against the introduction of wi-fi at their club's stadium, saying spectators should pay attention to what is happening on the pitch, not their smartphones.

    I've been told 2 reasons why internet/wifi access is crap......

    One is because there are too many people trying to access it all at once. Do other clubs have this issue, if so must be a nitemare at Old Trafford etc

    Two is to stop people streaming the game back to whoever. 


  • Using O2 or 3 at the valley has always been atrocious. Currently with Lebara who use  Vodafone and that is much better even on Saturday with 22k in the ground.

    I remember Birmingham having free WiFi last season and that would be used by bigger crowds.

    Maybe get relegated this season as smaller crowds in League One means better wifi reception.
