15,000 x £600 = £9,000,000
15,000 x £300 = £4,500,000
£4.5m difference, not utterly insignificant but only the sort of money that a reserve LB would cost in today's football.
Are you sure? I read it was a security issue as per what is happening at airports and the club not having the time\resources to get everyone bringing one in to power them up.
Give it 5 years and it will be common place. Most PL clubs are already thinking of putting in wi-fi and having an app which will allow fans to download stats from the match as it happens.
It's not like the old days of hooliganism and pis sing in the pocket of the bloke in front of you on the terraces, that's for sure....
Why are people blaming Reed or Krueger for this? They are just employees of the owner. If the club is cashing in on any player who can be sold there is only reason for this, the owner wants to do it.
The technology has been available for many years. 5 years ago I able to sit in a US baseball stadium with 30,000 fans and log on to the stadium wi-fi during the game to check-in for my return flight.
