SoL To Undergo Multi-Million-Pound Investment Programme


I realise that they can’t just throw on a playlist with 5 mins to kick off, but surely Fake Frankie or whoever it is can actually get the three pieces of music to segue into eachother nicely ( or even in the correct order as per today) rather than just chopping into the next tune as soon the teams come out etc it’s poor.

And can we ditch Tom Hark at the end ?

Yeah that makes sense. I would be going mental too - you pay good money. Seems like the people in charge of them just don’t know what they’re doing, or just taking the piss

In the PC the set directly infront of me sounded like it was barely stringing together and was about to blow. They all sounded different to me as if some weren’t crackling as much. Get me in charge :lol:

It’s basic sound engineering tbf, frightening how it’s being neglected.

The announcer is Rory Fallow, but I don’t know if he’s in charge of the music, I would assume so as he’s at the mixer. Shocking from him today. If we want to play some build up music that is the same every match then f*cking hell it takes 2 mins to download the songs and merge them together in a basic sound program such as Audacity for a more smooth and professional build up. I could do it and send it to the club but he’ll still just do it the lazy way and hit play on spotify or whatever.

This. Why do they pay so much money to have the kit and just fook it up. It’s disgraceful really. Ironically the old sound system was operated a lot better. So do they not understand how it works yet, because surely they could sit and play with it for a bit when the place is empty. If it was my job it would be perfection because at the end of the day you’re making a tit of yourself. I’d be cringing if I was KLD.

I would be shocked if a professional sound system such as a Bose one doesn’t already have some basic track fading built into the mixer. It’s always the lazy way with the club. Why put in a little bit more effort if nobody even notices, right?

The new 'music' at the end screams boro, Hull or dare I say Portsmouth. Its cribgworthy and tacky. Bring back paint your wagon. It's us at the sol.

At least the pitch investment looks worthwhile. 3 consecutive games with filthy weather and it still looks and plays perfectly.

Said the same to my dad before they came out for the second half. Not difficult to forget the state of our pitch in L1 at this time of year. It made it that much more difficult to play good football on.
 
Fun fact. Some absolute no lives have already started picking away and destroying the new LED boards in the east stand and flicking the LEDs off them. For gods sake, why vandalise your own football club?

..or no music as soon as the whistle goes when we win. Does my head in. Let the fans and players celebrate rather than having flashing lights and shitty music rammed down your throat as soon as the whistle goes. Kills it imo.

Easy to have a pop at the club for this but we have had freezing temps followed by a quick thaw and incessant rain. Electronics don't like that normally.

I am sure they will sort it and its defenitely not my take home thought tonight after hitting 50 points in the first week in January.

over the moon about the points mate

I know Rory a little through the away games (he seems to be at most of them) and he's a good lad. This is not his full time job and I doubt he even knows what 'Audacity' is.

I think his dad was involved in setting up Sunderland's first ever food bank or something like that. They are good people who love the club and the city and give both more than they expect back.
