East Stand Upper Tanoy System...

...absolute crap! Couldn't here who was playing, how much extra time was to be played or what the winning 50/50 draw numbers were. Lets hope that they don't need to broadcast any emergency messages because nobody will be able to understand them.

Thought they might have sorted the score board out for the begining of the new season as well!

 

I sat there for the Leeds match, we couldnt hear a thing either! Just an echo. Ad have thought they'd have sorted that problem out.

 

Amateurs..NO excuse

 

RE: Amateurs..NO excuse

t'was the same in the East Stand Lower. When I stood at the front of the stand at HT I got the impression that the speakers were not on at all in the East Stand - All I could hear was the Ponty End Speakers. And that was from the Half way line !!.

Sort it out.

 

not the worst thing ever is it?

 

RE: not the worst thing ever is it?

couldn't hear a thing when they introduced the ex players which was a shame. Can anyone tell me who they all were. Picked out barraclough, marcelle and big winny but do not know the others

 

lower tear was crap also,wot the fooks going on.no half times although wouldn,t have been able to hear them anyway,what a shambles!

 

There were half times - you couldn't hear them. Point proved I think.

 

RE: not the worst thing ever is it?

I sit in East Stand Upper and didn't hear all the names, but the ones I remember are Pat Howard, Colin Swift, Kenny Brown, Frank Bartlett, Duncan Sharp, John Bettany, Derek (Derrick?) Parker, Bob Earnshaw (expected to see him run down touchline, straight to ponty end, just like in't old days).

 

Agree....Couldnt hear who the old players were.

Really a shame..Other than that a wonderful performance everyone played their part. Like the up front partnership looked very fluid.

 

Eyup

The tannoy was looked at on Thursday after the club called in the engineers. The engineers tested one ot 2 things but said the adjustments should solve the problem.

Obviously it didn't and they will be called in on Monday.

Watch this space

(a very muffled) Dave (PA at t'well)

 

Could it have something to do with the mike on the pitch? At the Leeds match they put a call out for a steward and it was as clear as a bell but all the music etc was muffled.

 

Avent got a clue! - the frustrating part is when the engineer says its fine but patently not. The safety system does seem to work fine but is a different thing altogether.

 

are you the man on the pitch?

if you are why dont you think about getting an interview with a player or two before the games or at halftime as they leave the pitch try and get a word with them

 

Is it not more important for Andy Ritchie to get to speak to them?

I mean really (nodding2fingers)

 

it would only take a minute

and its not like the team talk starts as soon as they leave the pitch. players go for a piss etc first anyway.

 

Has anyone actually contacted the club about this?

 

yes

sent four emails. no response to any

 

RE: yes

good. I was going to after the leeds game but didn't get round to it. Wasn't there yesterday so I can't really comment.

 

and another thing why is it we get the half time scores just before the players come out for the second half,don,t people go sayin it happens everwhere because it doesn,t,why can,t they read the birthdays after the half time scores.The first thing i want to here after the 1st half is over is the half time scores!Anybody else.
