Post by: EasyforDennis on August 05, 2024, 07:47:15 pm
Not really football related but whatever happened to the "Free" wifi in the west stand?

On 20 April I reported the Jibba Jabba WiFi was showing this message when attempting to sign in.

"Access to this hotspot has been disabled by the Hotspot administrator"

I must admit, I haven't tried to sign in since. I'll try again Saturday if I remember.

I recall at the Crewe game not having any 4G/5g signal (probs due the amount of people there) and  couldn’t connect to the wifi either.

I remember the days, the good old days, when all we complained about was the football.

Good grief, switch your bloody phones off and enjoy being at football for goodness sakes!

It's useful when in the Belle Vue bar and waiting for team news etc, and engaging with folk on the Lucky Pint.. Obvs not the end of the world but if Free WiFi, which is advertised in the Prematch emails, then it would be nice for it to work correctly.  Plus, if folk also want to buy tickets when they get to the ground, it's useful to be able to connect to WiFi.

The ignorance in that comment, having access to data or WiFi is used for other things aside from being glued to their phones.

Ooh! I have to carry my phone and have it on all the time in case I have a heart attack! You do not NEED a phone to be on all the time, society functioned perfectly well without them in the past you know. The Romans never had them, we never had them as kids, we are not dead because we didn't have them.

There isn't any football at HT and sometimes it is handy to check other results that can affect our table position.

Yet another thread that has rapidly descended into rudeness and stupidity. It was a reasonable question, and if someone else doesn't want to use wi-fi or their phone then switch it off.

You've hit the nail on the head, Michael. You only have to look in off-topic; total intolerance towards other people's views on politics and beliefs.

Next you’ll tell me we should all walk miles to the football as we don’t need cars

It’s 2024 Barmby not 1975 anymore.

Yes, the Jibba Jabba free WiFi didn't even come up as an option. Anyone else found the same?

It never has for me, I’ve spent most of the time in the east stand and the last two seasons in the south, not once does it show.
I like to look at the silly bets I have, see how close some are, or even cash out.
