[stuffofchampions11]

Anyone have any experience of doing this? Chap at supporter services didn't seem sure..

Thanks in advance.

Had to take my work laptop into the east lower a couple of years back and no problem. But that was before the 'enhanced' security checks but I think you will be fine.

I don't think you'll be alone in bringing a laptop, especially for a mid-week evening match when lots of people will have to go straight to the Amex from work.

Absolutely fine.

 

[clapham_gull]

I'll have one tonight. Never a problem.

I've had to take in my work laptop a few times in the past. The free WiFi meant that I could dial in to do my overnight checks at half-time (although I got a few strange looks from the people in the seats near me).

Please don't lose it or we'll have another thread on here from Ernest tonight.

Yeah I've come to games straight from work with laptop no worries.

The free WiFi meant that I could dial in to do my overnight checks at half-time (although I got a few strange looks from the people in the seats near when I started bashing one out over YouPorn milfs and complaining to the stewards about the bandwidth).

I'm not surprised you got some strange looks. You are supposed to be there to watch the football!

I can think of very little that is worse that taking a laptop into a football match especially if it is a work one. When I go to football I would want to forget work and concentrate on and watch the football. I do realise that for some taking one is impossible to avoid but I am just glad that I have no need. One of my young relatives says that she very rarely uses her tablet or laptop now because she can do everything that she used to do on them on her phone.

Just wait until we have the same no large bag policy that Manchester united have and you will be depositing your laptop in a bagging area, and having to queue up to retrieve it.

At present not an issue, particularly for evening games many have to bring along their work laptop

You're not another amateur journalist?

I was... as I said, I did my checks at half-time. (Fortunately it only takes a few minutes if there have been no issues.) Before we had the free WiFi, if I couldn't get out of overnight support on my timetabled days, I wouldn't be able to go to the match.

Must happen all the time on midweek matches.

I'll have my MacBook with me as I'll need to do a little bit of "work from pub" at the Albert around 6pm.

 

[RandyWanger]

Glad this has been asked and answered, no time to go home from the West End, drop s**t off and then head down to the Amex so I'll be dragging my work stuff along with me.

If you turn it on you should not have turned up, end.

Come on, there must be loads. How about a peadophile? A knife? The Guardian? That’s without even thinking too hard.

Have bought my laptop to multiple matches at Amex and away games after travelling from work. Only problem i've ever had was at Wembley for Spurs (A) unfortunately when customer service said no when i rang them up in advance but when i turned up realised they were actually ok about it and letting people in with em.
