Thought the goals montage thing was a bit odd, was looking for the big screens already. Not sure its something that really worked. It will be great pre match with the big screens. Ten times better than the previous efforts imo. That's what pre match should be about Hearts and the big games and goals. Everyone has different music tastes so your never going to please everyone, best sticking to Hearts content. As for the volume it was actually too loud in the Main stand but it's been like that for a while now. Need to try and match up the volume right round the stadium.

Biffa Bacon Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Audio was poor at the back of N in Main stand. Too loud or talking too fast or too close to mic, I am sure that this can be ironed out in coming weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liked the HT/FT interviews, my only 'constructive criticism' would be to add in the time when announcing subs e.g. "substitution for Hearts in the 72nd minute, X off, Y on" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertarian Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maybe I'm getting old but I sit in the Main Stand and I do wish the volume of the music could be turned down a wee bit.

twjambo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 PA was too loud. Also, trying to hard, cramming in all sorts of stuff to fill every second with something loud and full on.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I was struggling to make out a lot being said to be honest. From the Roseburn I was still unsure if Cochrane had scored the first or Forrest had as they both celebrated and the announcement was unclear. Maybe the music was blasting after the ball hit the net.

Me too. I think he speaks too quickly, runs his words together, which doesn't work when there's such an echo (the sound bounces around our high stands) . You need to let each word land. Suggest he gets some sessions with Scott Wilson who can coach him in how to speak at the right pace in a stadium. Biggest compliment you could pay Scott Wilson is that you could always make out every word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of The Cat Cafe Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 He needs to wait until the cheers after a goal have reduced from a crescendo - not try to announce at the height of it. In D, I couldn't hear him name the goalscorers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nny_ Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Think he’s brilliant and the commentary stuff yesterday I felt built the atmosphere a bit. Playlist is great too and a bit more pace to it. Not Scott Wilson for sure but I like what they’re trying to do and putting their own stamp on it. Imagine the seethe from the Hibs end when they come to Tynie with the 5-1 commentary haha! Edited July 31, 2022 by D4nny_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Loblaw Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 One bit of feedback I'd like to give them is stop playing Freed from Desire. It's akin to Hibs playing Levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armageddon Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 All the folk who hate change having a go at the guy! He’s done Hampden for years so knows the script.

millano77 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Sorry not keen on the new stadium announcer. Didn’t like the match commentary before kick off and could hardly make out what he was saying. Also think he needs to come up with a new phrase as his let’s make some noise was poor. massive shoes to fill and I’m maybe still a bit disappointed that Scott Wilson isn’t doing it anymore.

Can't speak for others but it wasn't "the guy" that I was having a go at, he might have been great but from my seat in the Wheatfield I had no way of knowing. Sound quality was a massive issue. Hopefully it's sorted for the next home game then I can rip into him. 😄 Edited July 31, 2022 by graygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
