3D-1 to Manchester United as Arsenal game makes TV history

Football fans were treated yesterday to the first game to be broadcast live in 3D.
A few hundred supporters watched Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-1 in nine secret 3D locations around the country.
Fans in plastic specs said their vantage point must have been almost as good as the ones enjoyed by managers Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger in the dugouts at the Emirates Stadium, North London.
Lifelong Arsenal fan Alan Howe, 66, who watched the game at a pub in the capital, said: "I have HD at home and I thought nothing could get better than that. But this certainly is. It's mind-boggling."
United fan Josie Haigh, 28, a solicitor from Huddersfield,West Yorks, said: "It's amazing. The close-up shots are really good. It feels like you are being sucked into the screen."

Ben Smart, 27, a Man U supporter from Leeds, said: "What a game. It feels even better to win in 3D."
The identity of the nine pubs in London, Manchester, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Dublin where the game was shown in 3D had been kept top secret so that they weren't swamped by fans.
Sky, which is running the pilot scheme, says 3D home sets will be on the market in the next six months. Companies hope to sell sets costing between £700 and £1,000.
Sky HD customers have boxes that are already 3D enabled and those paying for the premium package will be able to watch 3D television at no extra cost.
An HD box is £49 and the glasses retail at £50.
