Football ground sound systems were better 50 years ago than they are today when they didn't have to have overrides for this and that built-in for this and that for health and safety reasons.
During Michael Knighton's time at Carlisle the PA system packed up and he simply went out and bought 16 speaker cabs and 4 x 800w amps and put the speakers on the floor pitchside pointing back into the crowd it was the best sound system i.ve ever heard in a lower league ground but then along came the H and S jobsworths and a two year battle with them over it started till it reached the point where they wouldn't issue the ground safety certificate till he got a conventional crap system installed and to this day its still just as s*h*i*t*e as ever it was.

Ce' las vie NS ... To be expected !..
There must be so many factors involved in providing al fresco music to fill a large space successfully and to everyone's listening satisfaction that the task would probably require the services of experts to plan and install it !.. at an exorbitant cost as well !.
So I ask myself, would it be worth such a massive undertaking for the installation of a sound system that is only likely to be used for a few hours every other fortnight ?.
I haven't come up with the answer to this and in the meantime perhaps some tweaking of the sound quality and decibel levels of the existing equipment at The Crown, plus a sharing of ideas regarding the music selected might go some way to make the listening to this both pleasant and acceptable to the fans ?..
