PA announcer here
 

Hello!

This is my first post on the forum, I'm one of the people you hear over the tannoy on matchdays. So far I've done the games against Exeter, Burnley, Crewe, Portsmouth and Cheltenham.

I'm just looking for some feedback on how you are finding the volume and the music, it sounds okay from my end but it's almost guesswork when it comes to knowing how loud it is around the ground. If you're struggling to hear, I'll try and up the volume for my next game.

In terms of music, I use a playlist but I'm always open to suggestions for songs to add to it so let me know if there's any songs you want to hear.

Lastly, I just wanted to say that I am quickly becoming a huge fan of Accrington Stanley and hopefully it will be a really successful season :)

Good luck with your efforts, Jake.
As I'm sure you appreciate, the issue of the PA volume is a tricky one. Needs a fine balance, and/or extremely good speakers, for people to be able to hear announcements/music but still be able to talk to neighbouring fans.
Worst places I've encountered, in more ways than one, are Cheltenham and Stevenage where the PA is so loud you can't even talk to someone sitting in the next seat. Perhaps whoever set up those systems only ever communicates to those sitting next to them by text.;)

Not sure many would want to hear it but, for this Saturday, The Kinks' 'Autumn Almanac' might be apt. "I like my football on Saturday...I go to Blackpool for my holiday..."

Hello Jake,
Your services are much appreciated. Perhaps a slight increase in volume for all us old duffers behind the Clayton end who are a bit Mutt & Jeff.
However, I think you could greatly help to increase the atmosphere created by our low gates by leading the crowd with shouts such as 'Offside ref!', 'Red card ref!' and 'Penalty ref!' at maximum volume. Obviously, this only applies to the opposition.
For our lads, may I suggest; 'Get into em!', 'Shoot!' & 'For f*~#s sake!' - for those occasions where we miss a golden opportunity to score, eg - free kicks, penalties etc.
Yours truly,
Sir Rodney Stiffupperlip

Given the problems at Rodney Parade, then it has to be Tom Jones' "The green, green grass of home". :p

Re: PA announcer here
 

As long as any increase in volume is just for on the announcements & not on the music please - at times last season in the main stand you couldn't hear yourself think because of how loud the music was

Re: PA announcer here

Re: PA announcer here
 

Hi Jake the tannoy in the main stand towards the gazelle lounge is very low ,unable to hear any announcement,so a little more volume would be appreciated.

Re: PA announcer here
 

Please can you play "Sugar Baby Love" by the Rubettes as loud as possible? Thanks in advance.

Re: PA announcer here
 

On Saturday, if you will kindly play that classic pop hit - 'With my little stick of Blackpool Rock' by the master of mirth Mr George Formby, I promise to bring my ukulele.
