P A system

I don’t get why the big expense ? A few half decent speakers and a mile of cable can’t be that much can it ?

Quoted from Rob_in_Grimsby

What stand was you in please. Was it the osmond stand

Main Stand - The next block towards the Osmond after the block with the press box in.

It's Kev Rogers, and being a professional musician all his life, certainly knows how to use a microphone.

If this board’s anything to go by, the Main Stand could be engulfed in flames and there’d still be people refusing to leave their seats because messages weren’t being broadcast at an appropriate decibel level. Never known a bunch of people so committed to finding fault at every turn, must be fūcking exhausting.

Really ? None of what you say is true but a fact is that the PA system is crap and dangerous.

Mmm strange comment. Fact is if it did go up in flames with lives lost and it was found the PA  system was found to be previously illegible, then no doubt the club would be fuc£3d and Debbie would be in prison.

“Fact is…”

If this happened, then that happened, and if another thing happened, but then something else happened, then the consequences would be severe!

How do you lot live your lives & function in a normal society? Always the usual suspects too, same people who were experts in roofing and safety certificates last week & who will be experts in drainage and pitch management the second the turf has a drop of water on it.

“Can you you smell something”

“Aye Jack, smells like burning”

“You reckon it’s on fire”

“Not sure pal, few folk moving…”

Inaudible sound over PA

“Did you catch that”

“Nah, but those stewards are directing people out of the stand…”

“Ahhh, I dunno, couldn’t hear the PA, I’m gonna sit tight”

Flames roaring over the top of the main stand, smoke filling the air…meanwhile Jack and Gerald remain seated…

“That steward not half waving his arms around, dya think he’s trying to help us?”

“I dunno Jack, I’m not gonna risk it, I don’t trust stewards, I’ll wait for a clear and precise tannoy announcement…”

Nah he’s right. It is true.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

I can’t believe the blasé attitude to this. If an evacuation was announced using the current system, it’s highly likely that some wouldn’t get out. Someone needs to get a grip.

Not dismissing that the PA system has H&S connections, but I don't think for one second that a poor PA system would mean that some wouldn't get out in an evacuation scenario. That would be determined by the quality of egress routes and the capacity they can withstand over time. If some bloke is still sat in the Upper when 2,000 people are piling out discussing the situation, I very much doubt the PA will be to blame for his unwillingness to move. Which then see's the stewards kick in to life and perform their job.
