Given the iPad has no camera, probably not. You also aren't allowed video cameras, but how many videos have we seen on YouTube from Yankee Stadium?
I was referring to the 'no laptop' ban, and by definition the iPad is a laptop - "A portable computer that is small enough and light enough to be used on one's lap.". Second it would be a lot easier to conceal a camera than a laptop, and that's not streaming the game in real time anyway [yet!]

I don't think the ability to live-blog the game would be the concern, probably more the ability to live-stream it?

Peter Snell?
John Walker
Jack Lovelock

I can only think of two who are still revered in some way: Sir Edmund Hillary and Sir Peter Blake. Both are dead and both did work overseas.
Sir Richard Hadlee
Sir Colin Meads
Don Clarke

With this new season of Lost my partner and I have declined downloading the latest episode and are watching it the "old" way. It's an interesting experience, having to be somewhere with a TV at a certain time on a certain day.
Yeah, I've tried to do that with Lost for every season, and if I miss an ep because I forgot to set the DVD recorder that's my own bad luck, no downloading allowed. Surprisingly it's worked out well

Here's video of the game if you think it'll be better than Wiki

I imagine many of you have similar memories. Maybe not of football, but of getting up or being gently woken by parents, to sleepily walk downstairs and see something happening live on the far side of the globe.
My memories are of going to the ABs/Lions games at Athletic Park then trekking back home across McAllister Park and getting back in time to see the second half kick off and watching the BLACKCAPS play on TV1/TV3.
When it comes to football though it's another story. A number of people may not realise that I was dead set on football, more so than I am with rugby now, until I was 18. My mum met her football-mad partner when I was 8, he was a Notts Forrest supporter so his best mate saw fit to save me from that and bought me a Man U strip. From then until I was 14 I had every Man U strip, homes, alternates, aways, one-offs, in varying levels of authenticity. My birthday cake for my 10th birthday was banana in the shape of a shirt with red icing and a devil's logo.
This is where my early morning memories come from, and talking shit to the Chelsea fans at the pub when I was a kid, egged on by Dave and me stepda.
My earliest sporting memory where I got that 'oh wow' feeling you get when your team wins that huge match was when we went to the Bull and Bear to watch the Champions League game where Man U got the treble. That was a fantastic match and as an 11 year old kid I was kakking myself. Especially when it was 0-1 and the game was almost up. It goes a long way to explaining my ongoing hero-worship for Ole Gunnar Solskjær though.

Highlanders (a bloody Australian, for God's sake!)
What? Glenn Moore was born in Takapuna.

The fire sale wil be at the end of the season, and other clubs will be offloading their breaches then too.
Just look at what happened to the Bulldogs, and considering the Rebels had allegedly already been chasing Slater, Inglis and Smith [you'd be dumb not to] and there's no cap in the Super 14...

Clearly there would never be tens of thousands of empty seats to fill, you'd only do it on full house games, and it would only be a few hundred tickets. And last time I went to a stadium the ticketing was controlled by bar codes and computers. At a certain time just push a button and it can print off one-off tickets for all the empty seats (or maybe, 90% of them). They already have dozens of staff working to sell the main tickets, this is five minutes extra work for them.
And what about the people who come along late/at half time? Or complimentary ticket holders?
