Please can we have something done about our PA System it is absolutely shocking. In the lower youngs you can hardly hear a word the announcer is trying to say ie the halftime announcements the substitutions surely in this day and age we could have something a little bit more decent than the rubbish we have at the moment

Leave it to Mr Dale, the stadium is being improved.

Can we blame JF for this or is this squarely at ND's door??

Town had a decent one but all the oldies in the main stand complained. Main stand 1 Rest 0

Didn’t even realise it was on until I could just about hear the announcer. Certainly didn’t hear any music.

The club are well aware that the PA system falls well short of being fit for purpose, This is further highlighted on large gates where the noise in the stands is higher.
They did bring in a system from out side last season with mixed results which sounded good in some games not so good in others dependent on the weather, this system also got allot of complaints from some fans  around the ground that it was to loud .
I know during the closed season they looked at the cost to replace the system but I do believe the cost was a little high and other areas of the ground needed the investment first,

Hopefully as the season goes on  the club will be in a position to improve matters

No good if there is a fire though is it? The current regime has had 18 years to fix it. Being totally fair, I think it was in the 70's when I last heard it clearly.

If there was a fire I would expect the fire alarm system to alert everyone not the PA and stewards to show people to the exits,

Does that work - fire alarm?

I personally know someone who had quoted gtfc to replace it over the closed season. Its A LOT of £££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

As said earlier, I would hope the fire alarm system does work and is very audible, has anyone ever heard it even when it's only a practice.

to be fair the Club would not get a safety certificate if it did not work as its a public venue  and will be inspected by the authorities regularly

Some of the non-football played last season would have resulted in a fire-evacuation style mass exit from the ground.

When did you last change your hearing aid batteries? ;)

This is next pre season task new PA system fitted 😏

A good PA system is as vital as a fire alarm in the event of an emergency, yes the fire alarm will sound to alert spectators of a fire but also a PA system is vital in this case to relay vital safety announcements to the spectators whilst the fire alarm is sounding.

Off field this club isn’t fit for purpose. Onfield Mr. Sanity is enjoying the results.

FFs....if there is a fire, Im not waiting around for the PA System to tell me there's a fire ;D

Trust me if you're sitting in the main stand you don't want to hear the fire alarm going off. By the time you hear it it'll be too late!!
