[Albion] New Sound System at the Amex.

[Green Cross Code Man]

Quite likely that there wasn't one l would have thought. I mean how many were there, what was the attendance?

About 10,000.

f***’s sake. It’s always been loud enough, but never been clear enough

Exactly this

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Surely, by the nature of football, every goal is a 'scorer' goal?

Good point, well made. Hasty edit

 

[METALMICKY]

I am very much hoping the PA will be clearer when they do the interviews of previous players etc. I cannot usually make out much at all which is frustrating. For what it's worth, I thought it was clearer but I wasn't up in the gods in my usual lofty position.

Spot on. That will be the real gauge of how improved the system really is. Volume was not the issue but just clarity. Admittedly, I am upper west but I usually give up on pitch side interviews.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Why? It’s been done to death at every sporting event going.
I would prefer something unique to the Albion if they have to drown out the fans clapping and singing naturally. A crappy dance track wifh Neil Diamond played straight after is pants.

The next logical step is to merge the two, new sound system would be perfect for this:

Happy with that

You're never in the Stadium when Freed from Desire is played!

 

[el punal]

Actually I like The Cult so it's okay for now...

Some good toons played yesterday - High Flying Birds, Franz Ferdinand, couple of Fat Boy jobs and yes, Sanctuary from the Cult.

So many Debbie downers on this thread after the club have invested in a new sound system. You lot are going to have a field day when the fanzone opens. I'm guessing it'll either be too expensive, too busy, not enough choice, queues too long or perhaps it's too cold in the winter

We're told the club monitor NSC. Which is almost certainly the case. It's certainly the case with Archbishop @chaileyjem, PBOBE's emissary on earth. If the club are are smart they can monitor this thread and head off much of the valid criticism of the sound system(s) earlydoors

Or they could just be thinking, what a bunch of moaners. Can't do right for doing wrong. It's either too quiet, not clear enough, too loud.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Wow. Loud. Louder than our fans on almost every occasion. But there again I'm firmly middle aged and would prefer some Mozart or Mahler.

It has to be a hell of a lot better than the QPR one week Sat last.
Sounded like a in a biscuit tin.

You are clearly missing that many posts are light-hearted and tongue in cheek. I am sorry we are having a little moan about your new sound system Mr Barber.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Oh great, Reynolds in HD Audio

He will be loving hearing his own voice in a loud clear way.

Your apology is accepted. Also, for the record, we are keeping 'Hey Jude' prematch too as its a fan favourite. I know it's been ridiculed on NSC for years.

Mainly on account of the na na na nananana's being nonsensically displayed in bright orange on the advertising hoardings

Well, now see, that is tinpot. Is that new a new thing or have I've missed it through zoning myself out while Hey Jude gees up the away fans?

They've been doing it a few years now.

Oh crikey, well now I'm not going to be able to not see it.

 

[LamieRobertson]

In the North Stand maybe but I don’t notice much of a singalong in the East Upper. Mind you, with the age demographic of EU, a lot of things pass us by.

Strange that because I’m in ESU and plenty around me out of the ten left joining in

It was already too loud, and I don't think I've ever complained about anything off the field at the Amex ever, except the volume of the music.

I hope its turned down pronto. The music is the worst part of the amex, it should be well in the background, not blasted over the top of everything. Always has been too loud, I much prefer to listen to the noise of the crowds and the people and the rising sounds of voices excited to get on with the game, rather than have to endure music that screeches up and down with the wind.

Just as an aside its no wonder so many people suffer the disorders we see nowadays...Surely it has to do with the daft volume people play things at along with over the top lighting and fire shows and this desire to over stimulate everyone and everything. Its not needed at the football. Its the football thats the main event, we don't need music to know that! I had always thought Brighton might be a little more caring to people with ADHD, Autism and many other disorders for which volume can be a trigger. We are one of the most inclusive clubs going... Quite suprising from the club to be honest if they have indeed made it louder.
