    I probably won't even get it out during the match. I'd mostly use it outside the ground. When we come back from Cardiff I was gutted I hadn't taken more photos/videos so I wanted to be prepared this time.

    I suspect SLR = Pro.

    Which I'm a little pissed off at.

    I've now got a tiny point and shoot which I hope will be ok.

    Although it does say that its absolute B*ll*cks

    I've taken a DSLR camera to Wembley several times- its completely OK to do so in my experience.

    Very harsh on a section of migrant workers

    To not allow Poles in. I thought we wanted them to integrate yet they can't even follow the football club of their adopted town!

    Just got off the phone to Wembley Stadium - 10+ mins on hold. Switchboard operator couldn't answer my question so she passed me through to their security dept.

    I said - 'I'll be travelling down to watch the FA Cup Semi-Final in a couple of weeks time. Prior to the match I will be visiting central London with my family to do some sight-seeing. I will have with me a video camcorder which I will still have with me when I go to the match. Obviously, I won't be video-ing any of the match, but will I be refused entry if I have my camcorder in my possession?"

    The guy said 'That unless my cam-corder was a professional video camera, then there shouldn't be a problem with me taking it inside."

    Save's me having to make a Wembly Hat-Cam.

    I emailed Wembley, response below

    <font size="2"><font color="#0000ff">We only permit small, automatic, digital cameras inside the Stadium as part of our Ground Regulations.
    </font></font><span />However please also note that our Turnstile Staff retain the right to refuse entry to any items that contravene our Ground Regulations.
    <span />For the full list of our Ground Regulations, please go to the following link:

    <span />Please note that any camera which requires a change in lens would be classed as a professional camera.
    <span />With the technical development in cameras it is a very difficult subject to manage.

    My mum sneaked a pint of Cider into the Millenium Stadium

    She'd not had time to drink it so decided to sneak it in.

    players will be in trouble then

    Wake Smith Solicitors and all that

    seems like they've got a lot of regulations that will be almost impossible to police
