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'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).

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

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.

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.
