Clearly states cameras arent allowed during warm ups, youve done the job of proving yourself wrong so we dont need to make the effort. :bonk:
I know, my initial reply was in answer to thisGary, you must have missed the first line of my last post. I've already conceded "warm ups are included".
And my point being is you commented on something you had no idea about, that is until you bothered to read the rules and regulations which proved you wrong. :bang:Don't know about Anfield, but at the Emirates they let people take pictures of the players during the warm up (mostly with P&S). I had a small m43 with 14-140 lens, and was told by the stewards (nicely) not to use it during play. .

Well said Dune.
Rules are rules, theres no 2 ways about it, fine. We want to see the match and if the billionaires won't allow us to watch it with the camera, theres no choice really, watching the match takes priority over taking photos for most of us here. But, a big BUT, rules need to be enforced, correctly. When member of staff/stewards aren't doing that, you create confusions. Hence seeing posts like "I've done this and that and was OK" (me included ) Part of the reason why this thread is so long. And yes, if the stewards keep stopping fans doing this and that it won't be very nice, but if you want to stick to the rules, like most here, you' have to be blunt.
Right, I am being "political' again :nuts:
Football is how it is, as has been said, the rules are the rules and have allowed football to remain (mostly) solvent even in these hard times, and has also protected the income of a lot of pro togs who would also be affected if there was a free for all. Just get over it, put the camera away and enjoy the game
Just look at some of the threads we've had here in the past...usually on the lines of "I've bought a 550d and I was wondering how to get on the sidelines at old Trafford". The license system protects the clubs, photographers and ultimately the players since you are ensuring that the only people on the sidelines are people who need to be there, and who have appropriate insurance.
Theres no loophole regarding warm ups, youre not allowed to shoot them, wether or not a steward turns a blind eye or not doesnt change the rules one iota.Gary, I thought what James posted was the actual rule (it might still be), which as pointed out had a loop hole regarding warm ups, (and coincide with 1st hand experience) thats why I took the effort to find out.
All clear now
And herin lies some confusion Tony, Dataco might not allow cameras into the stadium but Arsenal do, Arsenel dont allow photography while players are on the field but they do allow cameras in the ground, Maybe Dataco need to be speaking to Arsenal.if your not allowed to take a recording device.. ie camera.. into the stadium.. how can there be a loophole to shoot some bits and not the others.... the rules says no cameras in the stadium..
Cameras/Video cameras
Cameras and video cameras are allowed to be brought into the Stadium but due to copyright laws they can not be used when players are on the pitch. This also includes the players warm up session.

This makes it even more confusing then Tony, this is a quote from section 25 of the link you providedeeerm its got nothing to do with dataco... its stadium rules that apply throughout the country... including non league football grounds that are nowt to do with dataco
and arsenal ground regulations say your nothttps://www.eticketing.co.uk/arsenal/site/assets/GroundRegulations.pdf
And on Arsenals website it clearly says you can bring cameras into the ground if you dont use them while players are on the field http://www.arsenal.com/news/emirates-stadium-news/emirates-stadium-general-queriesThe Club reserves the right to make changes to any of the ground regulations set out in this document in its sole discretion. Any such changes will be notified to the public through the Clubs website (www.arsenal.com) and on display at the Ground.
That seems to be a very sensible approach to the matterI did see on one ticket some time ago a demarcation rule saying that cameras with detachable lenses were considered to be professional equipment, and were not allowed in the stadium. that seems to me to be a sensible demarcation. Can't remember where it was though, although it might have been Wembley in 2009.
I think that is the point of this whole thread, they may or may not stop you taking a camera into a ground. Once in, they may or may not stop you taking pictures, of the warm up, or the game. They are within their rights to stop you at the gate. It is whether you want to take the risk of travelling to a game with your camera just to be turned away before entering the ground. :shrug:It may say that but it isn't enforced
Ive took my camera stuff into anfield loads of times never been asked any questions and will be taking it again for the match on Sunday Liverpool Vs Man Utd
Now I was wondering what are the rules in taking cameras into the stadium to get some shots of the players etc just for my personal album. I was thinking of taking my 1D3 with 135L and 1.4X tc, am i likely to get it confiscated or should i be ok to snap away :shrug:
Original poster asked if he would be likely to get his camera gear confiscated, I replied with I've took mine in lots and never been asked any questions topic missed? How?
:bang:I was there for the Europa game last week and the stewards were stopping everyone taking pics in the crowd. Even compacts with zooms were being stopped, steward said anything with a lens is not allowed. Mind you that didn't stop people taking them when his back was turned!
I think from now on anyone who ask's this question should be banned for LIFE!. :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
Hmmmm well i'm quite an artist also, so would it be ok for me to take in my large A3 drawing pad and full set of graphite pencils and sketch the players?
Obvioulsy i'd only draw them during warm up, and these would be for my own personal use
