New Tannoy/PA system?

[HendoDelivered]

Looks like the new system is up and running going by Barrie Wilkins (Hibs stadium announcer) story on Insta.

About time!!

Now how about that big screen? :greengrin

[Nicho87]

Surprised hibs went ahead with this now but another improvement made. Next the big screen for when the fans go back.

[Scouse Hibee]

Yes spoke to Barrie last week and he told me it had been installed.

[MWHIBBIES]

Yeah, installed by a mate of mine about 3/4 weeks ago.

[Vault Boy]

Is the fox a permanent fixture?

[JXM73]

We got disco lights?

[Hibs4185]

We got disco lights?

Big Ron says they will be installed in time for our champions league adventure next season

[Diclonius]

Assume this means we'll actually be able to hear what he's saying now! :greengrin

[Since452]

It will be nice to finally hear Barrie Wilkins voice. No idea what he sounds like. Maybe it's his voice that's muffled and not the old PA system

[HendoDelivered]

Think its our version of Crystal Palace’s eagle :greengrin

[Itsnoteasy]

Who cares what halftime music they play & whose birthday it is. Go to ER to watch the game. Money wasted imho.

It’s also used for safety announcements so hardly a waste of money.

[hughio]

Good.

Its a positive affront to fans to subject them to that indecipherable racket.(I'm in upper west)

Well done Hibs.
Improving fans experience of the day is clearly now on the agenda.

Roll on some decent grub for us peasants in the cheap seats.

As someone who’s known Barry for a fair few years, not missing much !

Sorry Barry ! 😂 He’s a nice guy.

My priority is still the big screen. If it means selling Porteous or someone else of value then needs must.

Nah...you still be unable to hear him just at a higher volume😁

:top marks


If we sell Hanlon as well, we could have a screen in two corners of the ground.

We could then watch instant replays, in high definition, of all the goals we concede.

Thankfully your opinion doesn’t count and Hibs have made the correct decision in replacing a vital piece of equipment.

Yeah totally agree that it needed replaced :aok:

[Brightside]

Yeah totally agree that it needed replaced :aok:

As long as Barrie announces the scores in the right order too. :greengrin

[RoxburghHibs]

Haha I deserved that!!!

:aok:

[neil7908]

Is that why there is loads of noise coming from the ground? I live next to it and sounds like there is a game on!

[Juniper Greens]

Would be good to get a wee Hibs TV piece on this

[overdrive]

It’s also used for safety announcements so hardly a waste of money.

I'm not sure it is (unless the new one does both). I think it was two separate systems as the safety announcements tended to come through loud and clear whereas the music, subs announcements, etc. didn't.

I think we would have been forced to replace it sooner if the safety announcements were compromised.

[JohnMcM]

A brand new sound system huh? Can someone with a screwdriver have wee go at connecting it to Cliff's microphone for the Hibspass live match coverage please.:greengrin

You could be right.

They’ve been testing the new system for the past two days, I can confirm it works :greengrin

nah. We should strive for excellence in all areas of the club.

lets sort the match day catering next please. Better food = happy supporters + more money in the clubs pocket = better football = happy supporters

[Billy Whizz]

You could be right.

We should be blasting noise at the game on Sunday then

[Hibernian Verse]

"Liam Henderson to deliverrrr...AND DAVID GRAY HAS SCORED. THE CAPTAIN." on repeat.

[Sir David Gray]

I think the safety announcements came from a different system to the normal matchday updates like team news and subs etc.

[Stuart93]

Moan about the old PA system

Upgrade PA system

Moan about wasted money on new PA system

Fair to say the club can’t win with some.

At times you can be a remarkably astute observer of the human behaviour :greengrin

Maybe it’s different people moaning about each thing?

Typical Hibs! Wait until there's no fans to hear it and then install an upgraded PA system! :greengrin:wink:

[Since452]

The artificial crowd noise better be top notch on Sunday or Petrie can go

[BT58]

Why do we need an upgraded sound system, just use SUB -TITLES on the giant screens....hmmm

How many safety announcements have been made that no one has heard. Never seen a post on.net about this problem. Normally the persons name followed by go to your nearest steward. I've not struggled to hear these over the years.

No one knows as they couldn’t hear them.

[hibee-boys]

Never really understood the priority some people placed on a better sound system, at least I'll not need to read the numerous posts about people moaning about it though so all good.

If the club were toiling to pay for this at the expense of - what you might consider - something more meaningful, I’m sure the work would have been delayed. Why can you not just be happy that the club are doing something to make things a bit better instead of moaning?

I'm no moaning. Never moaned when it was the same quality pa system since I've been going since 1981. Money could be better spent on other areas.

The PA system certainly sounds better on the TV

It really does.

[HibsAnnouncer]

Great to see such positive feedback about this guys. I can’t wait to have everyone back in the stadium Cat A games and all this adding to an overall match day experience. Sounds crystal clear and a really good system we now have in place.

Sounded clear on TV so expecting it to sound brilliant in the stadium.

Didn’t notice but do we still play a tune when we score ?
