In my opinion, Odsal is probably one of the very few grounds in Rugby League where the announcements and music are audible without any delay. It may not be like that in every section of the ground but it's certainly good enough on the pop side above the dugouts.

You are quite correct!!!! Just want the crowd to start jumping to it now!!!

We had issues with levels at Saturdays game, (new sound rig!) We are hoping they will be rectified for the saints game!

[sizePlease no![/size

The way the sound captures in the stand makes it far too loud! I'm not an old fart, but having to shout to someone two seats away to have a conversation pre-match is annoying. And seeing young kids and older supporters jumping out of their skin whenever a song is played isn't fun to watch!!

and if I had a suggestion for Bulls entrance music, it would be Queen - One Vision.

Lol, again noted! The difficulty is when the levels are ok in the stand the terracing is not covers adequately and when you cover the terracing it's too loud in the stand, it's all to do with the acoustics of of having only part of the stadium under cover. The feedback we have received from the weekend is that the sound in the stand was better this week and was clearer than what we've had before but people on the terracing have complained that they couldn't hear what was been said by Steve.

The other difficulty is that acoustics work differently for a populated stadium than an empty stadium so when sound checks are done levels are appropriate and then when the fans arrive they absorb a lot of the sound.reducing levels. It's a learning curve but all we can do is take appropriate constructive feedback and try to adjust appropriately.

Sound levels are a fairly contentious issue and we will never please everyone due to the wide spread of our audience, what we are trying to do is get the best fit we can.

Thanks again for your comments. We are listening.

You could do with looking at the speaker system in the Coral stand too, We were sat right in front of Franny when he gave his after match summary, and couldn't understand a word.

I'm not having a dig (as such) but why do you feel the need to play a song for each player when reading the team out?

I've never understood this at all.

Wouldn't bulls on parade by rage against the machine make much more sense!??

Agree entirely with what you've said, and thanks for the response, the first I've had since I've emailed one or two people at the Bulls. I can see why it would be a techical issue, and completely agree with the sound dampening element, when it's just a few of us and Steve Bailey first comes out to that thundery-swooshy noise, christ on a bike it's like being hit by a truck!

I've no idea how the sequencing works when it comes to the speakers and electronics, perhaps halve the number by the stand and double up on the terracing? Anyway, carry on with the good work.

edit: and the loud PA also must come across badly on the radio broadcasts...

Last question from me on this, and it may have been answered as there are songs mentioned I don't know, but what was the song played when Kearney scored first? No lyrics, just a series of "Oh, Oh, Oh"'s or "woah, woah, woah"'s!

...and play Cotton Eyed Joe!

Cotten eye joe has been burnt to ash in every copy the club has ever owned and I will continue to burn every copy I subsequently find!!!!Lol, the song you are asking about is call I could be a King from The Dunwells album Blind Sighted Faith.

Thanks, Snow Patrol it was..

Every club will be doing it in a few years, mark my words....

Then I will sing Cotton Eye Joe louder than the loudest the speakers can go! I bet you've binned Wooly Bully too!! I dunno who you are 'swo' but cheers on all the feedback!
