Cor he is loud at halftime had to phone my wife too see if she'd got home from work OK,I couldn't hear her and she couldn't hear me.Best of it is when he puts a record on he turns the volume down.Gave me a headache at the Brum game.
 
What I find annoying is the megaphone the South stand use to start songs. Why do we need to use these. I love the atmosphere the south stand produces but not by these awful annoying things
 
Also the stadium announcer is annoying too. I like thr ultra nate free from desire song before each game. Great song to get the crowd going
 
I don't mind him either, I think the volume issue is more the tannoy settings than him being loud. They seem to be blasting the music out this year, so much so that sometimes you can barely speak to the person next to you.

My only criticism is him not reading out the opposition team just before kick off
 
Yes excruciatingly loud. He's not a bad announcer but is far too loud that I can't talk to the person standing next to me at half time even when shouting.
The music level is fairly acceptable, it's just the microphone that booms out.

An old gripe but the microphone lip sync to big screen is still amateurish and don't think it is a problem at any other ground I've visited.
 
Yeh, it is John Foster.

I don't mind him.. I do cringe a bit when he screams 'We are Teesside, we are Steel & Iron,...." and all that just before kick off.

That is down to the Public Address system - it might be excruciating loud where you are but if it is turned down then it is totally inaudible where I sit. The speaker system cannot be fine tuned or directed beyond this. One day it needs to be replaced. But I suppose it is never the priority really.
