Dear Collo,
I can’t begin to tell you how gratifying it is to have the ground announcer tell me, at quarter time, that it’s quarter time. We in the cheap seats in the stands are forever grateful for this kindness shown us (remembering that the well-to-do in the Medallion Club seats have their personal screens on which to elicit this vital information).
And while I understand people in Dandenong, some 35km away, could clearly hear the ground announcements and advertisements running at breaks between quarters, apparently the residents of Christchurch, NZ remain blissfully unaware. Having turned the volume up to eleven already (Spinal Tap reference), no doubt you could find a way to crank it up to 15 or 16 to lead those poor Kiwis who remain at home into the AFL light.
Yours sincerely,

HAHA classic... the PA system does get annoying at TD
It's not the ground announcer at the Dome that gets to me but it is time to add to the play list. Each year there is a very limited play list that you hear week in week out. As I attend quite a few matches at the Dome it is nothing short of annoying - perhaps the patrons could vote as they enter the turnstiles to select the day's tunes and also the volume level for the day. This could then cater for the type of crowd -whether they are hard of hearing and need the sound level higher or whether they have a hangover from the night before and would prefer a quieter day at the football.
