    Stadium Sound System

    Much better in the East...to me, it seemed like it was turned down a bit which made it more audible.

    Nice touch with the kids taking over too

    Still absolutely ropey in the famous five end of the upper West. You can pick up the occasional word but that's about it.

    Its brutal in the west upper. He'd be as well speaking in Russian for all I can make out.

    I can hear it fine in the west upper but I would rather it was switched off to be honest. Does nothing for the atmosphere and I hate all the let's make it 6 wins on the bounce chat.

    He still decided to repeat absolutely everything they said though.

    See all this tempting fate publically by mentioning 6 in a row time after time- I really don't see the purpose. Only likely outcome is egg on your face and delighted away fans rubbing it in - as per today. Why not show some dignity and just let the game take care of itself?

    Depends where you are in the West Upper. We always sit at the South end of the West and cannot understand a word.....except, my wife tells me....it is clear as a bell in the ladies toilet there!

    The kids were better as they spoke slower!

    Hate all that - usually comes back to haunt.

    Regarding the sound - still ear splitting volume at our seats in West Lower, quite a few parents protecting younger Hibs Kids ears with their hands when the pre-match music being blasted! Horrendous.

    It's blaring in some areas yet in others people can hardly hear it.

    Seems strange in a stadium with such a simple design as ours.

    unless the announcer is actually saying "mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm " in which case I can hear him perfectly.

    I'll be honest, I've always found the complaint particularly strange. Granted I can't vouch for many other areas of the stadium, but as I had a Season Ticket for 14 years in the FF Lower I never ever had a problem with it in any way. Clear, loud, etc

    I'm in the East around the centre, and it's interesting that you can hear the security announcement and alarm no problem, but, when the stadium announcer starts up the quality is poor. !!

    I thought against Brondby they had brought their own stadium announcer, I couldn't make out a word that was being said. It's like that every game and TBH it might even be a H&S matter as I believe they tell you that when a certain sound comes over the system, you have to listen to the announcer and follow instructions. There is not a hope in hell of being able to do that in West Stand Upper.

    It's painfully loud where I am in the West Lower. If you want to say anything to your neighbour,you need to wait until the match has started. It wasn't quite as bad for a few years - I think they've turned it up again.

    Totally agree, sometimes I actually think the announcer is half the problem.

    Was much better on Saturday could actually make bits of it out.

    They use different speakers in different stands. Some more powerful than others. Some which are also faulty, causing awful distortion. I think they either need to change them, or just keep them off. The crowd should be making the noise.
