The tech may have advanced such that it is now much cheaper but what the Tannoy was specified for e.g being a Tannoy and not a HIFI it now does Music is not the problem. In the West Bank Phil's utterances are a background mumble. You cannot make out the announcements which could potentially be a safety issue however the police announcements are crystal clear.

The police announcements preceeded by their loud 'bing-bong!' tone 'this is a safety announcement...' are all loud and clear as a bell. Phil's announcements of any nature, either from his wee box at the top of the main stand, or out on the pitch with his remote mic' are, as Sonny says, mostly background mumbles with very poor quality. Still, we've only been in the new ground about seven years, so a bit unreasonable to have expected the outgoing BoD to fix it in such a short timespan.

Drew Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 For all people are saying music isn't the issue, a right good sound system can make a big impact. Falkirk's is a belter, though we still managed to drown it out during the famous 0-2 win, despite them having the volume set to 11! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Not denying that Drew. But last season apparently there was a young talented local girl singing at half-time. I only know because I read about it afterwards. Did not hear any announcement nor her singing via the PA system. Likewise a friend asked for birthday wishes to be given to her son at half-time. No idea if that took place or not. Decent volume of music is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it is the laptop (cr Buddiecat), or maybe the quality of the Microphones. Wherever the police message comes from and is plugged into, needs to be used for the music and mics. It's perfect. Maybe a pre-amplifier needs connected somewhere? I am sure there will be at least one sound engineer within our support who would gladly give the whole thing a checkover for free?

Stu Posted July 28, 2016 Report Share Posted July 28, 2016 Tannoy was fine when we first moved ground for police announcements, Phil's announcements and music. Can't remember any issues the few times I sat in the stand behind the goals in the first few years there so I'd say it was fit for purpose unless it has been replaced by an inferior system. Tannoy is still fine on all three counts in the main stand so it does work and is still fit for purpose. However, it's hopeless in the south stand and there are now complaints about it in the west stand (would be interesting to hear if it's OK in the other stand) so clearly there's a problem rather than the system not being good enough.

Stuart Dickson Posted July 29, 2016 Report Share Posted July 29, 2016 One thing I really would like to see would be an end to the practice of selling advertising to political parties around the pitch. I'd like to see St Mirren lead the way in this. That advertising is not paid out of the pockets of the individuals concerned. They claim back the cost from the taxpayer and with the council budget, the Scottish budget and the UK budget all in deficit St Mirren should take a stance.

gc_SMFC Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Quick thought about pay gates. Would it not be possible to use a QR code on smart phones to replace tickets.So someone could go onto the website buy their ticket and download it straight to their phone?

Stuart Dickson Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yeah the problems is the equipment. Currently you have to insert the card into the bar code scanner. Mobile phones would have to become much thinner to make it work. You could issue everyone with a card and allow them to buy their tickets online to put on the card....but then that doesn't solve the issue with regards to walk up fans. As far back as 18 years ago I was involved in talks with a company that wanted to roll out a service where text messages could be sent to someone in a specific geographical area offering them cut price tickets for matches 30 minutes before kick off. The idea was they'd be able to phone to purchase their discounted ticket and theyd be sent a code they could type in at the turnstiles or give to a turnstile operator. The system was too clunky back then but you have to wonder why noone developed it for smartphones especially with the rise of Groupon, Itison , etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
