Mobile battery drain concerns for fans at 1D match

A warning has been issued to fans headed to Leicester City’s King Power Stadium today for the Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge, urging them to devise a back-up plan in case their mobile phone runs out of charge.

Police in the city have been liaising with organisers of similar events - and said one of the major problems has been people draining their phones of battery by taking pictures and posting them online.

This means they have no way of contacting friends or family if they get separated or when arranging travel home.

Officers are advising people to write down important contact details on a piece of paper, so if their phone dies they can still call their loved ones.
