Think there was some kind of montage about the club history before kick off. Couldn't hear a word of it. In fact, I barely understood a word of anything that was said over the PA today apart from the part when there was a minutes applause for Paul Mariner. Probably not helped by replacing Rob Chandler with Foster. Good radio presenter and host for fans forums, not a matchday announcer for me.
Also I had no idea who scored for them or their subs until after the match, since not only was it impossible to hear anything over the PA, it seems that whoever operated the scoreboard decided not to bother with things such a subs, scorers or scores from other games. Did the old scoreboard man get the chop along with Chandler?
Also the service at the bars and the stock is still shocking, despite no cash. [Post edited 7 Aug 2021 20:02]

Mike O'Leary said at the EGM that they're basically going to have to start again with the PA. If I have time I might dig out the quotes and run a story. |  | | |

That does not surprise me at all as it's been bad for years now.
However with this in mind, it's a little bit strange that they've stopped putting scorers names and subs, half time scores etc on the scoreboard and are only announcing them over the PA that is almost impossible to decipher. | |

Couldn't hear a thing that the announcer was saying. Music isn't much better. Lets hope this is one of the things the owners are ging to be fixing |  |

Completely agree with these comments. My 5 year old mentioned the sound and said it's very loud but I can't understand what they are saying. It seemed worse than i remember. | | | |

I think they've been having a tweak with it from what was said the other night. Some areas are very loud, some very quiet. | | | |

I couldn't hear the PA so looked for subs on the scoreboards, but those didn't have the info either. |  | | |

To be honest, I'm not sure the PA has worked in the new North Stand since it was built! | | | |

Same for me in the Sir Alf stand side of the Upper West, the volume is not the major problem there, but the clarity of sound is. | |

Can’t you just get him to repeat them for us all? Bloody rubbish in Churchmans too which is probably all people need to know. |  |

Yep, I think the PA is on the list, tied in with the big screen they mentioned the other night. Which I assume is going Sir Alf/Cobbold corner.
There's several things I expect they want to do so at least the ground looks like it belongs in the 21st century (stand by for LED advertising hoardings no doubt) - but first things first - get the team sorted |  | | |

I would say that for health and safety reasons this should be moved to the to of the list of things most important to be fixed.
If we find ourselves in an emergency situation where clear guidance over the PA system is required then this may cause confusion and make the situation worse. |  | | |

Ironically enough the only thing I could hear clearly in SARL was the safety announcement |  |

If there's an emergency situation the alarm will sound prior to it which will silence the crowd - as said before, the one time it was clear was the end of the Paul Mariner tribute when everyone was quiet.
Though of course the PA should be audible at all times. | |

I'm talking about a disaster type situation where people would need clear guidance on where to evacuate the stadium safely and avoid any danger. The area of the stand involved maybe in complete panic and silence is unlikely.
I know this situation is extremely unlikely to ever happen but it's the first thing that people would point fingers at if it ever did.
Although it's not going to be a cheap 'win' like painting lines, cleaning seats, vinyl wrapping windows etc. I feel it's an important one for the reason above and don't think it should wait until we're in the league above. | | | |

Do you know if they have 'look at the acoustics' on their list? We've been fed "nothing much can be done apart from moving fans" for years but I'd quite like a second opinion! |  |

Indeed he did. It’s on the list along with 100s of other things. Oh the price of neglect!
It’ll be interesting to see what things look like in 18 months time. Also, how the catering is after the existing contract runs out and presumably suppliers replaced.. |  | | |

Don't know what is going on with the acoustics but it was dire, albeit a bit better than previous weeks.
What annoyed me was just before KO the music was still playing and that should be when the crowd really gets going, made it a bit of a damp start.
Hopefully they will get some feedback on these minor, but annoying issues. |  |
