Robbored Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 It’s an old chestnut I know but it shouldn’t be. Yesterday it was even more muffled than in recent games. After bowls earlier today I chatting to chap who sits in the SS and said mentioned the medical alert when the guy collapsed and an announcement was made but this chap said he couldn’t make out what was being said - surely that’s a serious worry? The last I heard about the PA system was when MKelly spoke at Senior Reds and said the club had received two quotes to sort out the system. One was considerably bigger than the other and the club were looking into what the bigger quote was offering.That was last season............. After the revamp we have a state of the art stadium described by Colin Murray as ‘one of the best in the Championship’ but clearly Colin wasn’t exposed the absolute crap PA system.... It continues to be an absolute disgrace that the PA system remains unfit for purpose yet the club have done bugger all to rectify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coxy27 Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Completely inaudible in the Dolman in my recent experience. I have been able to hear it in the other stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcement when the supporter was taken ill after the game caused even more confusion as people could hear something, but no one knew what it was. Might have been turn back, might have been wait 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I gave up on the PA system in s32 of the Dolman a very long time ago. I simply ignore it as it is almost inaudable. It would be really nice to hear the announcements and pre match interviews but it's a complete waste of time. Heaven forbid what will happen if one day there is an emergency announcement.

Sir Geoff Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Always used to be loud and clear in the 70's when the regular announcements were car registration numbers being read out and would the owner please move the vehicle as soon as possible. Or would so and so ring home . How on earth have we got to such an abysmal state of affairs re stadium announcements in todays digital age.

I remember but since the revamp it’s been diabolically poor. Must 3 or 4 seasons now - what really pisses me off the inertia from the club. I get the impression that they couldn’t give a toss about the PA system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably don’t give a toss, if it passes whatever safety requirements it needs to for licences I doubt they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can always hear what's being said when I'm in my seat in the South Stand, but that might be I'm in a 'prime' position. Whether it's a benefit to hear Downsy or not is for another thread. But, after the match I was under the Dolman waiting for friends, and I definitely heard some kind of garbled tannoy. No chance of making it out though. So, I have to agree that is a safety concern. Maybe one for the SAG. Might take their minds off standing now there is a genuine concern to look into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 I normally am ok with the bore off response to the PA getting raised time and again as I don’t care about hearing it. BUT safety should be number 1 priority and if people are being given an instruction in an emergency situation it needs to be clearly heard and yesterday it wasn’t so PA replacement/improvement should now be the top priority of the club during the international break whatever the cost.

Rumour is you can use them to receive messages. His expectations being, 'to hear announcements that may relate to crowd safety, but no bugger knows, because we can't hear them'. You're right . How selfish. It's a perfectly valid complaint that has been made numerous times over what is now, a number of years, and the situation hasn't improved. It isn't the fault of the club, it's a stadium issue, one the club seem reluctant to explain or remediate. Why, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an annoyance in normal circumstances, but yesterday highlighted the potential severity of it. There are so many potential reasons it has to be clear, yesterday being one, a child going missing, suspicious package, the list goes on. In the scheme of things, I really cannot see this as an expensive fix. Get it sorted City! COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree with your point though, it has potential to be a serious safety risk. HOWEVER in eg the event of a fire, there would be plenty of evacuation routes.
