Comments on: Why Do So Few Supporters Tweet At Football Grounds? http://www.epltalk.com/why-do-so-few-football-supporters-tweet-from-matches/11402 Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier League Mon, 22 Mar 2010 13:06:50 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: eplnfl http://www.epltalk.com/why-do-so-few-football-supporters-tweet-from-matches/11402#comment-74475 eplnfl Wed, 23 Sep 2009 21:01:36 +0000 http://www.epltalk.com/?p=11402#comment-74475 Seems to be the problem in both the US & Uk that once the crowd fills up the stadium then cell phone congestion takes place. I have tried to tweet from USMNT games in Chicago but with little luck. 60,000 people at the game in downtown Chicago is the reason.

I'll see what the cellular networks are like in Belarus and try to send something from my trip to the Dinamo Stadium in Minsk next week!

It is probably something not at to the top of clubs lists to fix but it is something I would expect to happen as our world has become more and more wireless.
