No excuse really, if you don't know a Hearts player you're either a young kid, an away fan or not interested. Not everyone can read the names mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a fan wants to know the players, it is very easy to do so. Very easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few strange looks around where I was. Off on a tangent here but Michael Stewart called him Nathan on Soortscene, I know that's an abbreviation of Nathaniel but it's not one I've heard or seen used for our boy. I'm raging!!

luckydug Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Can't believe people are blaming the new announcer for the volume round the Stadium. This has been an issue last season as well. It's up to Hearts to hire expert sound technicians to get it sorted. Will be e mailing the club to give feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgie_Rules Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Scott Wilson hard to follow but thought he was decent. The ‘come on the boys in maroon’ shout at end or half time was as cringey as ‘lets make some noise’. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batistuta87 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Thought he was pretty good. He's good at Hampden with the screens too - jumping between VT's and talking, moving around, doing pitch-side stuff, talking to players and fans etc so I think he'll be decent to watch and listen to once we've got the screens in. Scott Wilson was brilliant and a PHM but he's old school and basically just had a mic and some tunes. This guy will have VT edits ready, will probably play different things when we score etc, and will use technology to make it more of a presenter type role rather than an announcer. He'll make it a lot more interactive when the screens are in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 I know this is unrelated to the announcer but the board with the timer on it at the bottom right of the main stand really needs altered so that any time added on is also shown on it. Looked down at it from the roseburn a good few times on Saturday and it just stopped at 90 mins🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackOfTheNet Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Doing a good job as has some big shoes to fill. My only gripe, if there was one, would be to change the kick off catchphrase. I know he’s trying to break away from Let’s Make Some Noise as that’s Scott’s thing, but if you’re going to say what he says you need to pronounce town “toon”, otherwise it doesn’t work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing it is just change for changes sake. Daunting taking over from someone whose been in the role for so long though, I'm sure they'll figure it out as they go.

Probably the former but I'm sure there are a few dials and switches somewhere that can be turned to improve the sound quality. We should play one or two new songs each week but the bulk of the songs should be the same to create a bit of energy and continuity. Not the weird metal song that was played today though.

Big screens will likely have a clock on them when they go in though so that'll have to do me. I much preferred Scott's choice of music but that's just personal taste, the stuff we're getting now is probably better suited to a football crowd so that's fair enough. Was nice to hear 'Can You Dig It' at half time, always associated that song with Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
