Apologies - mods - feel free to move this post - just thought I may get the best response in here.


I am off to watch the game on Sunday. Nothing on the ticket to say no cameras. Is it generally the same at football, or is it all a bit more relaxed? ... Just thinking the seats we have, may provide some opportunities.... :shrug:

I'm not sure that you will care now but I've never heard of any restriction and have seen plenty of cameras when at twickers so cannot imagine that in the leagues there is any issue (y)

Indeed it is (y) thankfully I've only ever done amateur teams for my own pleasure (y) but thanks for the info (y)
 
I was talking to someone the other day who does attend premiership/first class rugby games in Wales as an official photographer and said there was a restriction on flash photography at such games.
 
Theres a restriction on any kind of photography, its in the terms and conditions of the RFU and the clubs ground access conditions, some clubs just choose to be lax about about it.
 
Certainally not all Patrick, ive watched one smart arsed guy get his gear confiscated and physically removed from Headingley Carnegie, this was after he was warned several times to stop
 
Nah then Gary, do what your told, theres a good lad................:D
 
A question (and i promise im not trolling it is a genuine question) why do football clubs and rugby clubs add this kind of stipulation on fans taking pictures? I would love to take the odd picture when i go to watch wolves play and when i go to Northampton but because of these types of restrictions im always fearful of taking my camera along.
 
Someone please PM Ben the answer :crying:, I can't sit through this again:shrug:!!

Image rights, its about protecting the players image rights, in essence why should you, me, or anyone potentially profit from a players image yet the player himself doesn't.
 
To be fair I assumed it would be like football and dodn't bother. Quite a few cameras about though. What was more surprising was one lady had the proper "Photo" bib on her, and had what looked to be a 55-200 or so kit lens. Obviously, the big boys had the big lenses... more 5D Mk III's than you could shake a stick at. (Yes Saracens, were so poor, I went camera spotting!)

Interestingly a lot of the big boys also had big Sigma lenses as opposed to L glass or it's Noinker equivalent.

Watford FC stadium though. What a dive.

Ok thanks. As a fan I disagree but I won't start an argument here.

Thanks for the answer.

Hi G,
