I copied this link from the Artificial Pitches thread and at 1:10 the presenter explains about how Saracens are using their free wi-fi system to allow people to download an e-programme, order merchandise, food and so on.

 

Not sure it would work at Vale but it's an interesting idea anyway.

You're correct. I'm with o2.

 

I'm with O2, sit in the railway and have no issues with network at VP at all

I blame these telecoms,phone engineer blokes.

[boomers_left_ear]

no issues on 3G here, I'm with vodafone. it's as pointless as wifi in restaurants/shops.

 

and don't get me started on people who go on holiday and use wifi in the hotels...

 

I know, it's terrible when people keep up to date with the news via internet when they're in another country.

In response to a tweet I sent Smurf:

 

Hi Smurf asked me to message you as he cannot do private message via Twitter

He advises there is already WIFI at the Lorne St side for all boxes etc which is free and sees no benefit/would not be fair to charge the rest of the stadium exc away end

What he would like is a constructive updated wish list/and ideas for revenue opportunities which can posted via Twitter or here

Thanks

Just because they don't see the revenue opportunity in Wi-if for the 5k home supporters every other week doesn't mean there is no revenue opportunity in this. There is absolutely a revenue opportunity in doing it and as someone with knowledge and working in that area I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss the subject with the club are a few experts on the Value this cold brin to the club....

 

To name a few areas of opportunity;

 

To access a hotspot you have to register, this in itself creates a customer list... Something which poses significant value to the club... Beyond season ticket registrations!

The hotspot will give your customers a PVFC landing page where you could share the offers and messages during a game, MoM vote, sell shirt off the back, publish a e-programme paid for and downloaded to your smartphone/tablet

Gives the club the opportunity to sell advertising space online via he portal to others...

 

Anyways it could be very beneficial to the club.

[fraggle]

To add even though signal for most at the ground is reasonably good, it's not as good as a Wi-fi connection, most phones are set to preference on Wi-fi if a hot spot is available...

 

O2 are by far the best at the hosting/service element! ;-)

[marky mark]

Did you make the suggestion of the interactive element to him? That could be a free wifi but with the ability to download / purchase programmes etc electonically?

If the ****ing football was ****ing interesting they wouldnt be wanting to look at their ****ing phones all through the ****ing game.

What the **** are they doing pricing up ****ing snoods on e-bay or tweeting that beans are 2p ****ing cheaper in Tesco.

...I'm old and a committed Luddite !!! Thank f*** I don't have a clue what you're all talking about!

 

I quite agree; bring back the old score board with letters on it, and a fellah to hang the number baords up at half time.

That takes me back! You had to buy the programme to see which letter matched which game. And that's if the 'fellah' could be ar$ed to go out in the cold to put the scores up.

 

Could be done again on the new scoreboard........prospect of a nice little earner? ;)
