    New Tannoy/PA system?

    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?

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

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

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    You could be right.

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

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

    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.

    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.

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