The P.A. system has always been poor.

Even in the days when I first started watching Town, when Bing Beales would walk around the pitch perimeter with a blackboard, listing the Town team in white chalk.

We've had a thread (or 2) on this before and somewhere the club said it would £1,000's to put right and they'd rather spend that sort of money on the 1st team.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Yeah it's been made very clear the cost of a new PA system was enormous (6 figures I think) and spending that kind of money means substantially less available for the team.

A properly functioning PA system isn't a luxury. It's a basic necessity for reasons of health and safety alone.

And the refusal to accept that the whole system needs replacing as a matter of some urgency smacks of exactly the same penny pinching that Fenty rightly got labelled with.

I know it doesn’t make it right but aside from shiny new stadiums, not all but most, are the only places that seem to have anything like a PA you can hear.

I don’t think I could recall any announcement at any game I’ve been to in which I’ve missed anything of importance said over the PA…

Maybe the commerical department could pull their fingers out and sell the naming rights to 4 stands & to Blundell Park as a whole. Is there another club in the EFL that doesn't have a single sponsor for their stadium or even 1 of the stands?

I know its always been pretty excrement but yesterday it was literally non-existent. Not asking the club to spend loads of money - just getting it back to pretty excrement will do.

Bloke holds the mike too close to his mouth anyway, but yes the PA and general sound is terrible, all over the ground.

Almost as bad as getting out the Upper, we’d be copulated if it was an emergency
