Ashton: Order For New PA System Has Been Placed - Ipswich Town News
Town CEO Mark Ashton has confirmed that a new PA system will be installed at Portman Road ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.
Following the takeover, the club’s new management team quickly identified the PA as one of the major issues at Portman Road.
Fans have long complained that in areas of the stadium it has been impossible to hear.
"One of the things that the supporters have consistently mentioned is the quality of the PA system,” Ashton told iFollow Ipswich.
"The order has been placed and that work will commence in the summer. By the start of pre-season there will be a new Tannoy system in place at Portman Road, and that will give us far better audio around the stadium. That is a key piece of infrastructure work that will be taking place.
"We’ve talked about it before; we’ve got to improve the infrastructure to ultimately improve the environment and matchday experience at Portman Road.
"It’s not just this one area, there are other areas that we will be working on.”
As reported yesterday and earlier today, the club has applied for planning permission for other developments at Portman Road and Town will be publishing an interview with Ashton on infrastructure and developments next week.
