kent_white Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 What on earth has happened to it? It used to be decent - but now it's basically inaudible in the ESL. Yesterday during the tribute to the Queen I had no idea what was going on until the crowd went silent and the Club Chaplain started speaking. Have we somehow managed to purchase a downgrade? Or could we not afford the one we already had installed? Anybody got any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Cherry Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Was as bad in West Lower. Total waste of time. Announcer might as well stayed at home. Don't know if he makes it worse or it would be shite whoever used it. Never been good the system but somehow has managed to get worse this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 When I first started going to Burnden the tannoy was little better than a man with a megaphone. All kinds of echoes and faults. Before my time ( in the 60s) the tannoy announcer would apparently quite regularly say the following at about 2:58pm at a Saturday home game: "Ladies and gentlemen, here are the team changes. There are no team changes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank_spencer Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 From my seat in nsl the chaplain had it working fine and the band and singer for the anthem were clear as a bell. Then it went back to the announcer and it kept dropping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted September 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2022 It's absolutely fine in West upper, Daughter did a video of the whole thing and it's clear as... but the announcer was slightly muffled.. reckon he's using a duff mic and nobody has told him..

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted September 18, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2022 .t's ..ite. In NSL .an't h..r f..k all. I know it's been done to fuck, but why don't we have a screen that shows anything other than adverts? 'Around the grounds 'went out with the scoreboard at the embankment. Come on Sharon, I love you to death, but fuck me, this is basic stuff. Especially if the PA system consists of a bloke shouting down a toilet roll tube.

Singer and Phil Mason were fine in NSL so I suspect the problem is with the announcer rather than the system. Mad to think we had a screen 25 years ago that got us in trouble with the Premier League for showing contentious live replays and now we can barely muster getting substitutions on there within five minutes.

Moderators Horwich Posted September 19, 2022 Moderators Share Posted September 19, 2022 The system was turned down for yesterdays match as a mark of respect to the queen. No banging music etc. It is shite though. 25 years old and needs replacing. Boxoso will sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batton carrier Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 where i sit in west lower it is just a din. it needs chucking in a lake. Cant make out anything that is being announced . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkonion Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 It's always clear in North Upper, all the more so on Saturday due to the volume being turned down, it should be left at that level in my opinion. I went in South Lower for the fund raiser for Gethins mum and the din from the PA was shocking, couldn't make out a single word that was said.

Which we would if it was landscape. I know my eyes are shit but I can't see fuck all as it is, and I can't hear fuck all because the PA's shit too.
