It is now worse than ever and it is a matter of time before someone in the ground doesn't hear an important announcement due to an emergency, lost child etc etc., surely it must come into the health and safety category too and has to be up to a certain standard. Last week we were clapping a group of lads walking around the park and no one knew who they were because we couldn't hear, same today.

myteam Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 we could not make out the police message in the east stand today, surprise surprise. thought it was a different system btw. but i believe it was to tell the killie fans to sit down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 They need to take whatever they have at the turnstyles and put it inside the ground. Waiting to go through pre-match, we were nearly deafened when the "test" message went out. However, inisde, you could barely make out a single word which was said.

'Wellfan 2k7 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 How did the announcer know how much time was added on???? the board was blank when it was put up, was it not?? I'm not a regular in the east stand but every time I've been in it, i've never known who's coming on for who!! personally I think the P.a system is easy to hear in the cooper and PoD [even in the South Stand] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_legless_69 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 ive given up trying to work out whats gettin said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East_Stand_Al Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I think the problem is that there seems to be a slight time lapse between each of its speakers so in the East Stand there can be several bits of the same message crossing over each other , or is it just that the PA system is Shite ?

DEWELL Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Time to seriously dump that PA system for next season. We're doing well getting a new pitch but lets spend a few more quid and upgrade that feckin dinasaur of a tannoy. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WishyWell Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Last week we were clapping a group of lads walking around the park and no one knew who they were because we couldn't hear, same today. For the record, the boys going round last week were Wishaw Wycombe Wanderers under-10s, who sent two teams down to a tournament in Lytham St Anne's and won the trophy, with both teams making it to the final and one of them beating last year's champions, Morcambe, who boasted players from Man U and Liverpool. Yesterday, it was three of Motherwell Pro-Youth sqauds: the under-11s, under-12s and under-13s and a few from the older squads. I only know because I was lucky enough to have my boys involved on each occasion - if I'd had to rely on the tannoy, I'd never have known. If there was an emergency announcement, God knows how they would get the message over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldel Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 From the Cooper it sounds like we have employed Norman Collier, to do the pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finlay Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I personally heard Ian Stillie quote £200,000 as the price to replace the system. If that IS the case you can see why they won't do it. I'd rather invest that money elsewhere and have a better on the park product and a crap P.A. system than a cracking P.A. system and utter dross on the grass................like St. Mirren.

gullane Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Like our pornstar announcer - the PA system was f***ed years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East_Stand_Al Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Maybe instead of the PA system we coud adopt a system of chinese whispers, The announcement starts in the Phil and by the time it reaches the East Stand will end up as someones shopping list, canny be any worse than what we've got already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 I heard that use of the PA system would be discontinued from next season and replaced by a series of Tic Tac men strategically seated around the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Diggle Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I wonder what's needed to fix it - is it the speakers?, is it the amp? Like a lot of the stuff that needs done in the stadium there's probably folk on here capable of helping out (or know someone who could help out) if we knew exactly what was needed.

fatcalf Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I heard that use of the PA system would be discontinued from next season and replaced by a series of Tic Tac men strategically seated around the ground.

Shotts Well Fan Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 But then we'd all need to sit down else the moaners would complain they couldnae see the half time scores I remember the old days when the put the half time scores up on boards but you needed to buy a programme to know who was planing in Game A, B etc. As I could never afford a programme I never knew the scores nor cared, PA's are for poofs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
