You cannot hear any announcements in that area of the ground.
What is the point of sponsoring the club if people cannot hear their names/company being announced.
It has been many weeks since it stopped and all we have had is promises.
Looks like another broken promise.

God forbid that we have a major incident.

Get it sorted Mr. Managing Director!

To hear (if you’ll pardon the pun) that a loud hailer was not working in addition to the tannoy not working may be funny to some but it’s serious.

What’s the prize going to be in the next raffle? Being first out in the event of a fire in the stand?

What if the fire took the wires out first?? It's a small stand where a voice can be heard.

You may think this is funny but read the Safety of Sports Grounds Act which says that a sports ground should be equipped with communications equipment that can be heard in the event of an emergency. The minimum is a loud hailer that works. The lack of even a loud hailer shows what a tinpot outfit we have become and how little the club thinks about the safety of spectators who pay good money to attend.

I don’t think it’s funny. But I do think that if I was stood in a corner of the main stand and should FIRE as loud as i could then it would be heard,

I think your looking for problems for the sake of it .
The announcer of the fire isn’t any wher3 near it!!


I bet your one of them that has everything in the red on risk assessments “just in case”

The stand was fairly full today and it took about 10 minutes to get out and that was for a fit person. There were also people in there on walking frames and sticks who were holding back until everyone else got out. I am not a health and safety freak but I do have the ability to spot a potential problem and I'm asking the club to get it sorted. When they held that match where there was no tannoy or loud hailer they were breaking the law, as well as endangering peoples lives.
