massive issue apparently 

[Gorgie_Rules]

The boys in maroon thing is very cringey and a bit hibs.

 

Doing a decent job otherwise, can hear clearly in the main stand

I like him, he's doing fine. 

[gnasher75]

Much harder to hear what he's saying than Scott Wilson.

 

Don't like the difficult to hear audio commentary of goals before the game.

 

Good to have interviews with Savage etc but not if you can't hear them.

 

To be fair it was always much easier to hear Scott Wilson than whoever he was interviewing so presumably it is an issue with how he speaks into the microphone not the speakers.

[been here before]

Can hear him up the back of Section C no bother.

 

The fact he isnt Scott Wilson remains a great thing.

[Armageddon]

‘Jambo 4 (n)Ever’ 😂😂😂

 

You can here him absolutely fine, maybe you’re struggling to hear the players nicknames and awful ‘banter’…. that’s because there is none!

I like the bloke.

[lost in space]

Can't hear at the back of section F.

[the kings dad]

Can't make out a word at the back of section E. 

 

[tazhearts]

I assuming that once we get the big screens the audio commentary played at the start will be accompanied by linked video?

[Fire_At_The_Disco]

Loud and clear in row 33 S Main stand, lay aff the boy ffs he’s only been in the job 2 mins🙄

[Hungry hippo]

The fact the Wheatfield are having issues and everyone else is fine is only a positive IMO 😉

Cringe?

[kingantti1874]

Scottie Wilson is a tough act to follow. They are doing fine  imo but need to quite with the “hearts of Midlothian “

 

if that continues it could irritate me as badly as HoMFC.

 

just no

[Clark Griswold]

Notice He also says “Jambos fans” which sounds a bit weird. Should be Hearts fans or just Jambos IMO.

[Walter Bishop]

“ The free kick king” 🤦🏼🤦🏼

[Nobreath]

I heard him in the middle of section D but I did have to listen carefully. 

 

Scott Wilson's voice used to boom into your ears no problem.

[gorgie rd eh11]

"Hearts" of Midlothian.

I thought I heard him say this as well.

[Diadora Van Basten]

Couldn’t make out to much of what he said in Gorgie. 
 

Some of the stuff was pretty cringe especially Steven Kingsley. Reminded me of BBC commentator in cup final determined to get everything written down out there.

 

On a positive the goal music was good and I liked the Mock Turtles.

[jr ewing]

Improving. 

[flecktimus]

I couldn't make out a word the announcer was saying in section C Wheatfield. Normally i like the goal scorer to be confirmed , but i just couldn't pick out the names today.

You mean to say you don't know who the Hearts player's that scored today? 

[dazajmbo]

Thought today he was trying too hard. 

 

Jambos fans.

Hearts of midlothian .

Whatever the free kick reference in Kingsley's substitute .

Boys in maroon talk of the town.

 

 

Worst thing is drowning the crowd every time we score with music. Leave a 20 second gap, announce the goal scorer without music.

Yeah the Steven Kingsley free kick thing was cringey, just announce the names.

 

"Hearts" of Midlothian is not something that should ever be heard.

WHAT the hibbie ******* 

[SecN]

The volume and distortion is now a problem. Actually being in the main stand is audibly uncomfortable. Music being a bit too loud is half the challenge, but the main problem is the mic output volume. 
 

I’m expecting the speaker distortion and output volume is what is causing the announcer to sound like he is saying ‘Hearts of Midlothian’. Possibility that this is caused by sibilance on the chaps natural speech caused by the output setup. He may also have some form of speech impediment that the PA system is magnifying. 
 

I’ll either start to take ear plugs which would then mean having a chat with those around me becomes tricky. 
 

I am hoping the club know about this and it’s not just auld guys moaning about it not being hi-ho silverlining  on the playlist or it being one personality versus another.

The volume was way better than previously but, yes, his sibilance needs sorted. A wee further tweak on the EQ would sort it.

 

It seems like there is a discrepancy in sound quality between the various stands. That needs looking into.

[Guest]

Scott Wilson 10/10

 

New Guy 2/10

[naeclue]

Think he’s decent enough, but finding his way a wee bit.

 

I would like times to be given ie “scoring for Hearts in the 23rd minute” it helps me manage my stress levels a bit. 

[D4nny_]

Scott Wilson was ALWAYS going to be impossible To replace.

 

The new team are still finding their feet and I’ve no doubt they’ll come good. Give them a break!

 

Less of the Heart”s” of Midlothian though!

[Locky]

I can hear him just fine in the back of the Wheatfield.

He seemed a bit slow to announce one of our subs too - player was on pitch before he even said anything 

I think that was because the subs board never got shown so he had to check it was the right player going off.

Is it the sibilance that is the problem?

I consider myself a supporter going back a long long time. Know a few Rangers Celtic fans from Edinburgh who only watch their team on TV. Often remind them of the distinction. 

[Tony Soprano]

He was awful. Ill give him the benefit of the doubt because he'll just be learning but you can tell the guy isnt a hearts fan or even knows very much about us.

 

"give it up for the talk of the toon, the boys in maroon"

 

"hearts of midlothian"

 

"free kick king, stephen kingsley"

 

"jambos fans"

 

All of that needs stopped immediately. Extremely cringy. If i were him, id be going to Scott Wilson and trying to pick up a few tips.

[davieholt]

I admit to being slightly corned beef but I always heard Scott.

 

Yesterday when Joe Savage was being interviewed, I couldn't make out a word in section D

Pretty noisy up in G so not always the best but can make out what he's saying no bother.

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

I really think they need the screens to make their thing work. Same lad that does Scotland games, what he does there works quite well, would imagine families going to enjoy seeing themselves on big screens, highlights shown and so forth.

 

Agree though, he needs to get his catchphrase less corny, its not us, its not even Hibs or Aberdeen, what I would expect at St Johnstone

Thought I recognised his voice. Hope we don’t go down the cringefest route of the Scotland games, although after yesterday, that appears to be the direction of travel. No Proclaimers or Runrig yesterday though so that’s a bonus. 
 

Were the folk at the back of the Wheatfield able to hear him?

[Locky]

Personally think he should've kept playing Don't Stop The Party when full time went. Place would've been rocking.

[thehibsareintheirbeds]

Can't say I noticed any issues with sound in wheatfield C yesterday but not something I actively listen for to be fair.

 

Walked over bridge of doom after derby last week next to the guy, looked like he was with his son, so does seem to be a good jambo.

 

Quite like the interviews pre game and screens will help a lot in future
