Spot on Its way OTT to say its an embarassment to the club that our new announcer is finding his feet. Give him a chance!! Best of luck to him on Saturday. It seems that the Celtic game is bigger than imagined. "TV stations in more than 40 countries have booked coverage of Tel's Boys against Neil's Bhoys. This will be via either live viewing or a highlights package." http://www.ictfc.co....2208825_2115499

I was unaware of the problem with the PA. I am totally in agreement with what you say.

I'm sure the club could afford that.

The reason it sounds crackly is because a) the volume it too high and b) the person speaking it too close to the microphone.

You don't have to pay for professionals. An enthusiast can have a professional approach by deliver a quality service. Like a mentioned earlier, students in media studies might relish the thought of having a go. I know of some that are supporters.

I agree Don was good. I think there needs to be quite a bit of improvement for Saturday's announcer to come anywhere near Don's level. If you are right, I hope he improves quickly. However, surely holding an audition would find out whether a person is up for it or not. Having a poor announcer doesn't look very good for the club, not to mention the fact that supporters have to put up with it.

Yesterday, the announcer was an embarrassment to the club. Whilst I can appreciate that some of the names for the Royal Antwerp team were difficult to pronounce, pregnant pauses do not create the right image for the club. Reading out the home team players also presented a problem. To add to this, the announcer has the volume too high and he has the microphone too close. As a result, it is very loud and some sounds are distorted to the extent they cannot be understood. I think we need a professional person to do the announcing. Someone who can sound interesting, has a clear voice and knows how to use a public address system. If the person we had yesterday is the person who is going to do the announcing for the rest of the season, we need a new announcer. One idea would be to give media college students the opportunity to be an announcer. This could involve a relationship between ICT and a university. Being an announcer would give the student a means of gaining practical experience. What are your views?

I agree. But take a look at this video. We may have an interesting weapon for free kicks just outside the penalty area. http://www.youmake.tv/video?id=8950

Great picture and much appreciated. It is good to have even this small snip of the match.

I second that

1 - 1

Our main web site has stated since the cup draw, that "Admission prices to follow". We are now 24 hours away from the game and still no mention anywhere of the ticket prices. Is there anyone with any idea as to what the prices are for tomorrows game?
