A Hull fan was warned yesterday for texting during the game with Reading and he could have been thrown out of the ground.

As Gary Lineker mentions this is nuts.
I thought I'd check our clubs T&Cs but surprise surprise the link on the official website does not work.
"I was just texting a few friends and relatives who can't make it to games these days, just the odd update on how the game was going.
as many do and many others are thankful.....is this copyright gone mad?
I'm at the t20 and was just reading some rules saying that texting people about the game can be seen as giving betting advice
Crazy
Yet my iPhone pings and tells me every time there's a throw in.
Another ridiculous attempt to enforce a technicality
How the **** anyone gets signal in the seats is a mystery.
Its similar to court siding in tennis.
Being able to cash out on a bet before a betting app can update.
Not that this bloke was doing it.
And laptops at the racing...Quote:
