Terrible, and embarrassing especially on the occasion that was George Dunford's life achievement celebrations.
You couldn't hear what they were saying when it was working, and when it stopped, it was just embarrassing especially as Nick was making a beautiful speech about the man that saved our club.
Shocking system. Sort it out.

Shocking system. Sort it out. Have to agree, I was sat in the SW stand and it kept cutting in and out then finally it gave up for good. Couldn't even hear the 50:50 numbers at half time! Might have won but I wouldn't know it.

It is pretty incredible that 20 years on from moving to the Mem we still can't get the PA in the blackthorn end to work.

Ridiculous how they promised to put in a brand new system during the summer for "noticeable differences." I can see the difference - it doesn't bloody work! The scoreboard system always cuts off after an animation for a good two minutes as well!

Hope Nick's speech was recorded. You missed a treat. It was great 2/3 of it was heard in all stands, last third was heard in one. Was a great speech, but the cuts in the audio were embarrassing.

Absolutely pathetic. It can't be that expensive to install a working PA system. It's been awful in the south stand for years now. I can never even hear the 50/50 numbers anymore. Embarrassing.

All noted but, as Nick Day pointed out, the system was tested earlier in the day in all parts of the stadium and was working fine. These things happen, unfortunately.

If that PA was upgraded then I hope they kept the receipt. It’s not fit for purpose and although just a small thing, it gives me no confidence that we have owners that can deliver a modern stadium anytime. If they can’t sort out the PA out FFS what chance they can modernise the mem properly.

The PA has been dreadful for years something like this was always likely to happen. Now that it has the club will probably sort it out but for the Dunford family it’s a bit late.

Thankfully in the West enclosure we heard Nick Day's excellent and moving tribute.
Nick is actually very good at this kind of thing, full credit to him.

They had promised a difference in sound, and there should be a noticeable difference. Think they meant the difference was it has got even worse.

I couldn't get to the Mem today but listened on Radio Bristol and am pleased to say the Geoff Dunford came over loud and clear Nicks speech was brilliant especially the Dennis Dunford trailer at the end well done to all!!

The bits I did hear in the South Stand were clear as a bell, shame that it kept cutting out - hopefully there is a recording of Nick's full speech somewhere online.

It was a fitting tribute, would have liked a minutes silence instead, as it gives more time to reflect, but said to my mates bet that PA system ruins the occasion, it is embarrassing, big shout out to the MK Dons who joined in as well, very respectful.
