Whats to worry about when those portable mini tvs were in vogue on grand national day a few fans were always huddled around a 2" screen watching the race and the Albion

Big cheer went up in Dick's when Arsenal scored.

Yeah I was standing there next to the beardy cheerers, I scorned at them!

After the game people were pretending to enjoy the rugby in dicks bar! WTF IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE

I like the word wireless, not used enough these days.

Generally looked like this, bought one specifically for the Blackpool game 1977/78 but forgot to listen!

Its more to do with the receiving of transmissions not through wires like early radios I think, nothing to do with whats inside the unit.

that's a super swanky jacket lke

The Man in front of me was playing Tetris on his Nintendo Gameboy throughout the whole 2nd half.

How times have changed at football matches.

There are quite a lot of Dicks that cheer Chelski goals too.

Used to rent a telly from Radio Rentals in London Road. Proud to say I owned my own wireless.

It lives on these days within the more popular word 'WiFi', which I believe stands for 'Wireless Fireflies'.

Why worry what other people are doing at a game?

I had one of those when I was a kid, probably got it for Christmas, don't remember taking it to football.

I think the word ' wireless ' reminds me of my late father, never called it a radio.

I listen to commentary whilst watching the game live. DAB no good because of the delay and FM radio generally rubbish in modern mobiles.

So a bit of research I bought a tiny Sony radio. They've made them for years but still make them new.

It's still branded under the Walkman brand

I bought some tiny Bluetooth headphones with a built in FM radio, but nothing compares to the above. For the real radio nerds it contains a chip that Sony never bettered and never licensed.

I considering purchasing a tiny Bluetooth transmitter so I can listen er.. wireless.

Has the earth turned? Can somebody put the picture the right way up?

I assumed the OP is actually HB&B.

I normally have at least one earphone in listening to Warren's gems, but more than that, it really helps to know what's happening at a distant (to me) part of the pitch which isn't clear where we sit. Also good to get the regular score updates from other key matches. With the replays that Warren and Johnny are privy to, they can elaborate on some of the things I can't see - not least, most of the time I'm in the East Upper, near the North Stand corner, so stuff happening at, say, the South West corner can be a bit tricky to make out. For me, it just enhances the match experience (and those around me always seem keen to know too!).

I have in the past watched a race on my phone that I had a small wager on. Is this not allowed?

Same here - I get asked what just happened.

I tuned into London radio at Fulham. Hugely insightful about Skalak being targeted, massively enhances the experience.
