PA System
- Thread starter Beach Hut
- Start date
Meh, nothing to apologise for.
All in all I suppose it's rather a small point in the day, but I just feel that the one piece of music most associated with our club and our fans should not have been taken over and dominated by someone with no emotional link to it whatsoever.
Well the framed lyrics that I have on the wall don't support your argument. Have you googled it yet?
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
See above.
On an occassion like that, which deserves a good chunk of the original song, you need someone singing it for the crowd, otherwise you just get the corus at break neck speed, with the band miles behind before the next vers can start.
Personally I was happy with the opera, and love DK and TB as I do, I didn't need to hear from them, I've heard loads from them already.
Here's an example of 'And when you come to Sussex'

Just to draw everyone's attention to this:
PA on the WSU concourse......
Insider has said the PA system is a work in progress (the acoustics will change with a full stadium, so though they work on it through the week it's difficult to get it right for match days when preparing in an empty stadium) and would appreciate PMs providing feedback to it.
Regarding Mr Burn's comments about PS, I may be confused, but wasn't Mr Burns one of those who left withdean when Paul said the team wouldn't be out for a lap of honour, and so was quite upset with him when he found out they did come out after all and thus has a bit of a grudge? (Just to add some context to his vitriol)

I thought the opera singer was great, I enjoyed his SBTS and the Nessun Dorma was spine tingling. There really are some curmudgeons on this board.
I really felt for Paul, we saw him afterwards and he was pretty upset. It's a shame he was let down by the equipment I hope this is resolved by next week.

The PA was tested during the week and worked fine, there were a few issues which we hope to solve for next week. One is the position of the receivers, which should be elsewhere - not going to go into fine details. Another is an empty stadium is different to a full one (mobile and wifi signals from 17,000 people) make it more difficult for the signal to travel. Also, Richie and the soloist were affected by the same problem, it was just Paul seemed to get the brunt of it, possibly due to the position he was stood.
It's not the first time it has happened...

Skint years RIP
thought the opera singer was generally excellent - good interaction - although would've prefered him not to have altered the key for our anthem. minor point tho.
felt sorry for paul s, but it did seem everyone else coped with the equipment well. shame it happened tho.
and, the club are listening re PA tweeks, so all is good. personally, not sure i want PA in the concourse - nice to have space where you can chat with mates.

Come on!
Why not have a wired mike? Like the old days.
Plan is to have that as a back up on the fringe of the tunnel, but ideally you want the freedom of a wireless mic (but one that works).

I disagree, if standing in the concourse I would like to hear what is being said and going on in the main stadium and watch it on the tv screens.

Trial and Error!! These things happen in ramp up events, It will all be ironed out in time. I thought Richard Reynolds and Paul Samrah were great. I wonder if Bob booker and Richard Reynalds swapped notes on NK-S!!!
