The football fans attentively watched with 3D glasses.

Sky started working on a 3D television project two years ago, even sending people to learn about James Cameron's movie Avatar 3D.

After watching the game, many football fans at Railway Tavern share interesting experiences when watching football with 3D technology.

45-year-old Paul Kelly in London said: 'The 3D image is alive, and the shots are wide. It is really a big step. I went to see live matches on the stadium but overall it was a great way to see it. '

David Wubelski, 71, said: 'I have been watching Arsenal for 60 years and waiting to see this match 4 weeks ago. Wearing glasses is not uncomfortable, I have never been to the pub to watch the ball but I wonder how to watch 3D. The images are closer but the wide corners are not very impressive. '

Laura Prylls, 25, said: 'I wear glasses so I have to leave it when watching 3D. However, it is great, it is not annoying at all. The atmosphere is also great. I rarely go to a pub but everyone here is very excited and enthusiastic. I think watching the matches in 3D will quickly become popular in the future. Now it would be better if there were a few lower cameras. '

Sky delivered the game with two different versions, a normal version for traditional customers, a 3D version with two separate comment groups, two groups of cameras, two different production groups.

Former player Alan Smith and commentator Alan Parry have become the first commentators in the match to be broadcast live with 3D technology.
