An Arsenal spokesperson told the New Journal: "We can confirm that 'selfie sticks' are banned on matchdays at Emirates Stadium. The club's ground regulations prohibit any object that could be used as a weapon or could compromise public safety." However, over at Tottenham, the restriction on the "Wand of Narcissus" appears to have been put in place after a fan lodged a complaint.
Selfie stick bans are the latest technological innovation to have its wings clipped by Premier League clubs. Last year, Manchester United banned laptops, tablets and other large devices from Old Trafford because they could be used to hide explosives. Seflie sticks aren't obviously that dangerous, but someone could lose an eye if fans aren't careful.
