Sound System yesterday.

There was a new PA system used yesterday, a company that does lots of concerts and does the sound for Welsh matches at the stadium. I thought it was a major improvement from the normal sound at games, anyone else notice? Make a change from discussing the hiding we took!

Loud and hurt my ears

It may have been a better system but it totally drowned out the atmosphere in the five minutes before kick off. Only stopped the moment we kicked off.When will the people who operate these systems realise that the crowd make the atmosphere not technology?.

Couldn’t agree more.
Not sure what blasting out heavy rock music like Metallica right up until the ball is actually kicked does to the atmosphere and singing instead of Hey Jude or Pick & Shovel.

Too loud and knock it off as soon as the players come off so that we can hear the crowd sing

As soon as the players come on? It's gone from too quiet to too loud, maybe it'll be right next game.

Best part of the day was the players coming out to Metallica

Been too loud for years for me, same at away games. The 5-10 minutes before kick off are often the best for atmosphere, but any singing is drowned out by boring music blasting out over the tannoy which has no relevance whatsoever.

Men of Harlech or Hey Jude fine, but just normal pop songs, nah, not for me. It’s a football match, not a disco

Said the same at the game yesterday. It’s been like it for a few seasons but it seems to be getting worse; the music the club play in the 10/15 minutes leading up to kick off should be ‘our’ songs to help build the atmosphere. At the moment it’s doing the complete opposite with (MoH apart) nothing of any relevance to Cardiff City.

Didn't mind Metallica, but playing Triple H (from WWE)'s theme song was a bit cringe-worthy.

No more metallica for gods sake .

Hey Jude or men of harlech is far better .

When the guy on the tannoy was speaking it was much clearer. Didn't realise notice any difference with the music

The noise (I won't say music) that was played after Men of Harlech was imo utter garbage.
I want something stirring to build the atmosphere and As I have said countless times. It should be YMA O HYD.
RY'NI'N TH A O HYD=WE ARE STILL HERE - WHETHER IT IS PREMIER LEAGUE OR NOT
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/yma-o-hy ... -here.html

Translation of part of it to English
Let the wind blow from the East,
let the storm roar from the sea,
let the lightning split the heavens,
and the thunder shout "encore!"
Let the tears of the faint-hearted flow,
and the servile lick the floor.
Despite the blackness around us,
we are ready for the breaking of the dawn!

We are still here,
we are still here,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything.
We are still here,
we are still here,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything,
in spite of everyone and everything.
We are still here.

You don't need to speak Welsh to feel patriotic and ready to get behind City 100% after this blasts out.
Yma o hyd
The song proudly proclaims Ry'n ni yma o hyd, er gwaetha pawb a phopeth which translates as "We're still here, in spite of everyone and everything." It relates to the continuing survival of the Welsh people and their language "until Judgement Day" – a reference to a famous conversation recorded by Gerald of Wales between King Henry II of England and an elderly Welshman during one of his campaigns in the 12th century. Of the continued survival of the Welsh nation the old man tells the king;

"Never will it be destroyed by the wrath of man, unless the wrath of God be added, nor do I think that any other nation than this of Wales, or any other tongue, whatever may hereafter come to pass, shall on the day of the great reckoning before the Most High Judge, answer for this corner of the Earth

Let's make sure the opposition know they have crossed into Wales and we'll give them a battle on the pitch! Let's draw a line under Saturday's effort and show Burnley ..... Ry'n ni yma o hyd

Ummmm no terrible music.

We would be a laughing stock.

Keep that sort of thing for the 2019 sheep shearing contest in Abergavenny.

So everyone else is pretty much saying it was too loud, you are saying you couldn't hear it! How drunk were you?

It's nothing to do with the sound system drowning out the pre-match atmosphere and playing shit music, it's the person in the back controlling it!

Playing f*cking EDM and heavy metal!
