I tried my best to listen to Greg Downes on Saturday but couldn't hear a word. It's the same every time anyone is being interviewed pitchside at half time.
It's a complete waste of time . Perhaps where you sit it's okay but anyone I've spoken to in the north stand agrees that they can't understand anything anyone ever says .

and another thing. Block 23. Some idiot DJ was performing outside 10 mins before the 1/2 time whistle. He really needs to turn the dial down. It detracts from the game.

and another thing. Does the club actually read this forum? Inertia rules.

Yikes. Clunk -Click came to mind… now then, now then.

Made me laugh a few weeks ago. Can’t remember who he was interviewing but their microphone wasn’t working, so the PA guy handed him his mic to speak. Then when he went to ask the next question, started to talk into the broken mic that he’d forgotten he just swapped

The PA is worse now than when I started going to HR with all the improvements made in this field you would have thought it would be better.
N.S.B. Was Downie standing next to you.
Bad Boy. Unless I'm sitting on a nice femail knee I'm staying where I am.

PA at HR was far from crystal clear, either. The guy who did all of the announcements, etc, often sounded like he was talking through a cigar in his mouth, as well.

Yeah I couldn’t hear anything either but the music comes through clear as day so possibly the mic pick up / set up.

George Hudson I think. @Nick would probably remember better though. The voice of the PA at Highfield Road and Wembley. Was a lovely fella. As far as I know he was the only one ever given a season ticket for life by the club. He wore the same suit for the trophy final 2017 as he did for the two games there in 87.

Was he actually offered to go with Pete Waterman on a promoting career and turned it down or was that an urban myth
