Keeping up with scores on the final day

[Mileoakman]

Although its not going to help much this season you might like to know that some of us are trialling a system with Sussex University for users of Android phones at the Amex. Basically they have come up with a system whereby android users have an app on their phone which cleverly combines the signal from all the users, (don't ask how, I'm not that technical), enabling them to access things like latest scores, live train times at Falmer, seagull shop, tickets, bus park & ride updates, etc, etc.

There doing a further trial this Saturday and I think there still looking for a few Android users in the West Stand only.

They sent out the following to me and others this week so, although it might be a bit late for the Blackpool match, you might be lucky for the final Wolves game + the playoffs of course.


hi guys
Hope all is well with you and you’re enjoying the end of this season – almost there for the play-offs!
This Saturday we’re having a bigger push with the Stadium App – we now have, Live League Table, Live Scores, current match info, previous results, fixture list, live rail, traffic info, ticker feed, and Twitter…we may get one or two more services in there too. So we’ll be pushing out an update before the game (we promise!).
If you have any problems at all I want to help you get it installed so drop me a line. We are going to be on-hand on Saturday from middayish – wearing our Digital Stadium T-shirts armed with a laptop to help with any issues. We’ll also be offering the App to any other Android users on Saturday to get the numbers up. Steve and I with be in the Lower and Ian and Ciaran will be in the Upper (you can see our ugly mugs on the project website Digital Stadium )
Enjoy the match Saturday and do come and say hello if you see us.
Kind regards - Jon and the Digital Stadium Team


Anyway looks like next season should be better.

Sorry its only Android, apparently it wont work with the old technology that Apple uses. (Sits back and awaits life long ban from Bozza).

Anyone in the West stand check out http://www.sussex.ac.uk/affiliates/digitalStadium/. Some guys from Sussex uni are developing an app which uses inter-phone connectivity and I believe they are opening up the trial to anyone in the West stand who is running an Android phone.

I'm an andriod user in the West.. can I join in please?

 

[dougdeep]

Will the Hockey App actually work this week?

 

[kevo]

Wonder if the club will ever get round to installing wi-fi? You could pay to use it per game or per season. They might even make some money out of it.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

I get Internet during each half, it's just at halftime it's impossible.

So ill probably be checking up on it for N1F.

That's because the network is overloaded at half-time with everyone checking their phones. It'll be like that throughout the Wolves match, as people will be constantly trying to check the other scores.

Which is also why I hope it's all wrapped up and secured at Leeds next week - though it would still be jammed up with Wolves fans - who knows.

I've found Three generally gets through during halftime, when it wants to really.

i'd rather the other scores were on the scoreboard the whole game instead of the team line-up.

Might cause a slight loss of concentration amongst some of the players. Can see PIG turning round to the North Stand and punching his fist in delight as Posh go 2 up at Palarse prompting Henry to launch a 55 yarder which rolls past his right foot

Papa if you follow the link to the digital stadium in my post there is a tab for those interested in participating. Might be pushing it for this week but certainly possible for the rest of the season I would think.

Alternatively look out for the guys wearing the t-shirts hovering around the West Stand on Saturday who might be able to sign you up on the spot, it is free.

I can never understand why the club haven't sold the rights and allowed a mobile phone mast to be installed on each of the four corners for the 4 major companies could this be to do with possible NIMBY complaints and objections again.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Agreed with earlier posts. 3 network works like a dream at Amex.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I love the business end of the season.

I remember when we obliterated Watford 4-0 and were relying on Palace to beat Stoke to give us a chance of staying up.

This was pre-smart phones, I guess, and news broke through that Palace had scored late on, presumably someone listening to the radio. There were mental celebrations '1-0 to the Palace scum'. I seem to remember the players looking a bit confused when the South stand erupted.

I wish the club would flash up goals as they are scored.

 

[BHAWise]

I've got " the football app" pretty much the same as the sky sports score centre but works much better. Even works at half time

not in east upper...

 

[BensGrandad]

I am sure that I heard or read somewhere that wifi was becoming available at The Amex.

 

[halbpro]

Still can't get any at all (Vodafone) - it only starts working again about 6pm after most people have left!

I'm on O2, and it used to be awful. However, I was informed by a friend who works at the University that they had something up with their mast. They seem to have fixed it now, because it's been much better since about January.

 

[Weststander]

Brighton will already be confirmed in the playoffs by then, so it won't matter.

I dont think it would make a lot of difference. When I was talking to the Digital Stadium guys they reckoned that it would take major investment by the phone companies to make it even close to working because the amount of users wanting to log on at any one time would swamp the system. Outside the ground there are a number of masts but even strolling back to the car park after the game its quite difficult to be able to check the scores. Coupled with the fact that the demand is only for a couple of hours 25 times a year, its probably not possible to get anything approaching a return on the expenditure.
