Tannoy Sound in the Kingsland !

[eurosaint]

I don't know if many of you noticed but the system now is working properly (hurrah )

For the first time you could actually hear the lovely Kenzie word for word !

Progress.... a long time coming but let's celebrate !

[yellow&blue]

Plus the substitutions are back to being displayed on the big screens so that saves trying to hear the announcers voice

[Saint Rees]

I was in the Itchen North and we thought it was worse than before! too quiet and couldn't understand a word she or Franny was saying

[100%Red&White]

The wind must have been blowing in a favourable direction for the OP, we're in the Kingsland (Northam end) and it was as shocking as ever. Could barely make out a thing being said.

Yep, couldn't hear anything from where I Was sat in Itchen, it's been terrible all season though.

[LuckyNumber7]

Yep, in the Kingsland North it was much clearer than usual, although she still sounded muffled when she was interviewing her dad at HT. But for the first time in years I could actually hear what the substitutions were!

[lickierambert]

I was listening on 5 live and you could hear every word Kenzie was saying.

[East Kent Saint]

The tannoy was much improved in block 28 ! BUT the team was only announced once and there was no mention of subs for either side ?????

nor did the subs appear on the screens.

[SKD]

Personally I'm glad you can't hear her. She has an awfully annoying voice and almost certainly wouldn't have that job if it wasn't for her dad...

Spot on , she was woeful particularly the substituations . One of the reasons I go to football is to get away from my snap dragon whining on , I don't want to hear an annoying whining voice at the game . Let her walk round at half time , but without a microphone

[simo]

Nope still **** Kingsland north

[Toomer]

It was bloody awful when she was reading out the teams but did get better.

[doddisalegend]

Still crap in the Itchen north htbh.

[doddisalegend]

Oh yeah I think Kenzie is fab best stadium announcer we've had in years.

[bpsaint]

Anyone know why Justin wasn't in charge of the subs and half time announcements yesterday?

Justin tweeted that he was in Hospital. Don't know the reason why. The only time I could hear Kenzie was when she was in the main announcers room. When she used the pitch side mic it was as awful as ever. I got a call from the club in the close season as I always mention the poor p.a. When survey time comes around. They said it would be sorted. It hasn't been.! Complete waste of time.

[John Boy Saint]

As always the sound quality is spot on.......................................... in the gents under the Chapel!!!!

[VectisSaint]

Awful in the Chapel/Itchen corner. Worst that it has ever been. Couldn't hear a word that Kenzie was saying in the interview at HT. It suddenly came back to its usual level about 5 minutes before the end of the game, maybe it was something to do with the radio mike Kenzie was using. Frankly it was quite embarrassing when there was something that you really wanted to hear and that deserved better reception. Still, thankful for small mercies at least I couldn't hear the "motivational" speech from Ralph :-)

[rooney]

The club announced on the OS ion close season that they are aware and will improve the PA this season . Perhaps the speakers in the Kingsland are being tested before full launch.

I emailed them in the summer and was basically told they're aware of the problem but fixing it was a massive undertaking and it won't be done anytime soon !?

[beatlesaint]

It was as clear as a bell Kingsland Centre - first time in years, a little quiet. they could have bumped the volume up, but every word was audible.

I dont know what you mean about Kenzie, she has a lovely voice, her announcing the goalscorer is almost orgasmic

Best bit was her announcing Vokes had scored......... there was a distinct tone of disapproval.

[george]

It was clear in the Kingsland - Northam corner. On the down side the roof was leaking.

[captainchris]

The tannoy is totally rubbish in the Kingsland North. Barely here it...

One of the wires has probably become a bit lose were the blu tak is holding it in.

[the colonel]

it was a shiite as normal in the 3rd row of Kingsland

[Stu Man Do]

Couldn't hear much more than a whispering the Northam although that could be down to Kenzie rather than the sound system.

[Kingsland Red]

Yep, we noticed that we could understand the announcements and Benali goings on yesterday. The tannoys aimed at the Kingsland on the half way line actually work for the first time for years.

[KK the 2nd]

Clear during the match but couldn't hear at HT, so some improvement.

 

What does p*ss me off though is the ads on the big screen when you glance up to see a opposition player name to number or a replay for live matchs. It always seems to be adverts. Why not have one for ads, twitter etc and the other for match info? You could rotate during the match, say swap over function every 5 mins. This would mean you would still look at both and the ad impact would still there but also info. Might actually increase ad impact as increasingly I look at my phone to see opposition team line up instead of the screens.

[eurosaint]

I'm a bit disappointed to hear that it was sporadic around the stadium, I sit in block 29 (towards the chapel end) and it was absolutely clear as a bell for the first time ever, we even talked about it whilst listening to her so I am not imagining it !

Maybe they turned something around which was good for some but negative for others !

Ah well, maybe some day......
