[Archived] Cameras at Ewood.

[bodrum_blue]

Due to make another visit to UK which will include a match at Ewood and I will be taking my 12 year old granddaughter as I always do.

On my last visit I took my camera and took photos outside of Ewood with no problems. We then took our seats (upper tier of Blackburn End) and started taking some when I was approached by a steward who told me I couldn't use my camera inside the ground. When I asked why, the steward told me that it was against club regulations and the terms and conditions on the ticket. My granddaughter was a little disappointed as she wanted some pictures of her in her Rovers top inside the ground for her Facebook page.

Has anyone else had similar problems and if so what was the outcome?

using a camera in the ground is against Premier League regulations. Still harsh to stop people taking pictures for personal use, and a little bit of common sense could be applied.

I think you can take photos inside the ground, but not of the actual players during a match.

what you don't see doesn't hurt hurt you

Rules are made to be broken and this particularly silly rule shouldn't stop your enjoyment of the day. Wait until a steward isn't looking and snap away.

As Ste said it is actually a PL rule (it is so that you do not sell your photos thus losing the PL money!!), but at Ewood it is barely enforced. I take my camera regularly and noone has ever said anything to me. I think last time you must've just hit upon a jobsworth

I'd go with Jim's advice, just take it and take photos when noone is looking!

I take photos inside Ewood on match days when I'm back for a few games each year. They always turn out crap but I'll not stop for this stupid rule.

For what it's worth.

My daughter attended a game some time back (a few years) and had her photo taken with either Roar, or Roarina (can't check at the moment) on the pitch just before the game started!

Bit of a joke when you see enough flashes going off at the big four games to negate floodlights.

Never had a problem myself, then again I don't do it under the noses of stewards.

Wow you pick which rules to break

Same thing had to my first trip to Ewood when we were in the Championship in 99 - we were seated in JW upper and a steward came over and said we couldnt take any pics.

But when I was in the BB end a few years ago on the last day of the season nothing was said to me, even with stewards right beside me!

I've took my camera to many many grounds maybe 40+. The only place I have been 'told off' and warned my camera may get confiscated was White hart lane ....
