Cider Army Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 3 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: In December 2016, I saw on social media a story about a fan boasting that he lifted a megaphone and chanted using it. Was it mentioned on here? Maybe, can't recall. Long story short... Megaphones quite possibly forms part of backup plan if PA fails or falters in an emergency. Green Guide also indicates 'loud hailers'...basically megaphones. We might need megaphones full time the way things are going ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hear everything, the details of the charity for the bucket collectors, the scores and time left, the substitutes, 10 mins in the sin bin, head injury acessment. All clear. I thought how nice it was compared to the Dolman. I always sit here for the rugby and never had any issues, but the quality of the PA the day before as I said was worse than ever in the Dolman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you get Oasis being played at Old Traford? Not a chance. What exactly did Massive Attack do so wrong @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO ?? We embrace the Wurzels yet shun a band who even thanked the club on their first LP.. Hi @Tomarse Let me know what Massive Attack track you want to hear and ill make sure the match day DJ adds it to his playlist... along with any other local bands.

Additionally, the public address system in my bit of the Dolman was beyond terrible today, couldn't make put a word (S32) The only positive to this was that with there being no hot water today, the hand driers seemed less cold than usual! WTF Hand driers Cold water, PA system moans...what happened to football? Did we win.... or was your day out spoiled by the lack of hot water and the p.a unable to identify the teams for you We play in red at home, if it helps. The team in the Blue and white hoops lost, Happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there are snags and defects after someone has dropped over forty million quid tarting the place up, they probably want to know that before they move out of warranty.

Bring back Tim Shires! I'm not in the role anymore but one thing I prided myself on was being a City fan and knowing what to play... and what not to play. Sometimes the playlist was tailored as to who we were playing and on a few occasions, the opposing manager too. In my opinion, pre-match music isnt just there for background purposes - it should be there to add to the atmosphere... I never played Roni Size, but tried to play Massive Attack where possible. Marie - I am humbled by "bring back Tim Shires" and would come back in a heartbeat. But in defense of the announcer in question and the PA System in general, its had issues from the day it was installed. Admittedly, I identified one of the major issues straight away but it took quite a bit of time until my advice was taken into consideration - which turned out to be correct (mic paddles). I worked well with the installers of the PA and had a good relationship with them but that was cut short in the summer. So any issues going forward were out of my hands!
