Sod the bloody phone signals, or should I say lack of them, what about any activity on the management. I want Sharon to come out with a statement, including in writing, about what’s going on!! 🤣

Another day of hopeless reception on Tesco (O2) and only way of staying in touch being 20 mins in McD's or hanging around outside Costa's door. Once in ground, zero. Signal only started returning once off Middlebrook complex. 

I don't know how true this is but a woman on Tesco tills last year said the club try to block the signal at Middlebrook when there's a match on, to prevent live streaming.

They won’t have to try hard with O2 - feels like there’s some twat blocking it most of the time anyway. I never took much notice of Kevin Bacon telling me that EE is the country’s best network provider until I left them and went to O2 and not only saw 3G for the first time in a long time, but it became the norm, at best!

Mind boggles as to how they'd actually do that. One of the most mental things I've read online since last night

Really ?

My Company did it in a large heavy engineering factory, for safety reasons. Welders dangling upside down 80ft up and taking calls was the reason.

Mobile phone jammers or blocker devices are a thing.  I don't know the first thing about them and don't want to but if anyone can be arsed googling it, its there.

Was on Sky (or 02), couldn’t even connect to WhatsApp in the ground. Final straw was last season someone streaming cricket in front of me. 
 

Moved to Lebara (Vodafone) and the difference is unbelievable, everything works even in the ground now.

Well, that's a change from 'a bloke in the pub reckons'.

Risley Prison has done it for years, my calls or Spotify drop out every time I'm driving past.

Cheers for the reminder. I intended to move to them towards the end of last season but never got round to it.

No it doesn't. That can only be confirmed in the future. They've opted to stick rather than twist.
