Title: Pleasant surprise
Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, August 22, 2014, 16:35:55
Went down to the CG this afternoon to get the Brighton game put on the STs - the tannoy was definitely working if the noise coming from the ground was anything to go by!!  The guy who served me said was I aware that I have £5 credit on my season ticket?  I didn't realise that every purchase made in the shop qualifies for 10% cash back, credited to your season ticket.  I asked them why they didn't publicise it more and just got a "Dunno"!    :hmmm: :hmmm:

Praise The Lord.
The tannoy is working.
Hallelujah.

'It's like people when they say Tannoy when they mean public address system. Tannoy is a brand name.'

There must be an underlying reason on the floodlights, as I don't think I have ever seen them fully lit. Its probably along the lines of the bulbs were tesla prototypes and one only comes up on ebay every 5 years at 10k a pop.

But why do we need them fully lit? When wax the last time we had a night game called off through dodgy lights

I got told about it when I bought the away shirt after the scunny game.

I'm literally ecstatic about the public address system being fixed, I'm going to celebrate with some cheese and red wine once I get to my dad's gaff.

Because it annoys OCD sufferers like me!

Nice to see James from SMBC theatre appearing on this site.

As for the tannoy being fixed, let's fucking dance with joy.

Not sure about jumping for joy, at least with it fixed the game will be on but the downside is that crass guy on the mic and the shit music they play!!

I had a look on the Brighton forum to see some comments about last nights' game and had to laugh at the amount of people who mentioned about the 'deafening' sound system!

In other news, did anyone else get a text from the club about tickets for the Coventry game? Do I get charged to receive these? I don't remember signing up to anything.

I had a text regarding tickets for the Cov game - haven't had one before for a game, what's the point of sending them to season ticket holders, and how did they get my mobile no.?

I just happened to 'read' Honktonk's post with 'Boom Boom Boom' by Out There Brothers playing in the background. Adds a whole new dimension.

Indeed. Would have made some sense if season ticket holders could bring a friend for a reduced price or some such.

I had the same. Assumed I had to give number when registering with MyWorld thingy.

Prompted opted out of receiving future texts

Don't rely on the opt-out working, I've had three texts this season and have opted out after each one.
