    If you're heading to the All England Lawn Tennis Club in June to enjoy some strawberries and cream and perhaps snap the odd selfie while watching the world's best tennis players, we have some bad news: Wimbledon has banned the selfie stick. Laid out in the official ticketholders' guide, the event's organizers write: "In common with many other major sports and entertainment events and cultural attractions, the championships will not allow selfie sticks into the grounds." No wide-angled photo action for you.

    Selfie sticks, whether you love them or hate them, are now officially a thing. Their numbers appear to have exploded over the Christmas period, allowing new owners to begin working on their very best self portraits. The increase of these telescopic rods hasn't gone unnoticed, though, as some Premier League football clubs have began outlawing their use inside stadiums. The Mirror reports that North London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham have now banned selfie sticks from the Emirates and White Hart Lane over fears they could be used inappropriately on matchdays.
