When will the tannoy be working at the Holker Street end of the main stand?
It has not worked now for the last 3 home matches.
You cannot hear any team news announcements, half time scores and raffle prize numbers or other announcements.
It coincided with the erection of the floodlights and lights positioned on the main stand.
Surely it cannot be a big job getting it working again.
Our visitors from Leyton Orient last Saturday could not have heard any announcements.

Tannoy is a brand name.

As is Hoover.

I thought @spirit of 1990 had taken this up with club and the repair was in hand

Do you see any upset zombies around?

Can't wait to hear my favourite Beatles album, The Best of the Beatles, through the new Tannoy.

"It's like people who say Tannoy when they mean public address system. Tannoy is a brand name."

I like it not working. At least you can have a conversation without having to shout or lip read.

I was told it was being looked into three weeks ago mate, I'll try and find out this morning what's happening with it.

Another definition of t'annoy; Get this fella to throw a proper radgie at ye.

Completely agree, part of the enjoyment is meeting and chatting with your friends on match days. Before the match and during half time we are bombarded with overloud inane music which, taking into account the average age of Barrow supporters, is not of their musical era. So turn down the volume and have some consideration for those of us who want to discuss football and other matters in a civilised way without having to resort to having their vocal chords and hearing damaged.

I am a pensioner not hard of hearing.Surely a balance scan be done so we can hear relevant info re teams raffle etc and cut back on music a bit to suit all parties who sit there.I spoke to andrew Casson at Maidstone game re this defective speaker he said they would get the audio man to sort it out.He needs reminding

There are bigger fish than this surely
