    Was hoping new season new sound system,I couldn't hear what Darby was saying and the halftime announcements were also missed. Sort it out City.

    The feedback from the mic was deafening in main stand

    It is terrible. The interference today was awful, no sound quality. I'm not that bothered about the sound quality through the season cause you can make out the teams, added time etc, but would of been nice to hear Darby today. But apart from that, we made Bradford City look worlds apart from last year, and did everyone proud - apart from that scrout in the second half.

    The bloke doing the talking needs a good slap. If he just stood still the interference wouldn’t be as bad, presuming he found a spot with none. It would be fine and then he would wander around for no reason

    To all on this thread. The sound system was thoroughly tested in the week, including the roving Mike and was fine.
    Sadly the interference today was caused by the equipment of LFC Tv.
    Suspect there won't be a repeat.

    If you missed it due to the poor sound system, you can watch it on Liverpool’s twitter feed. I had to do that this evening as couldn’t hear a word

    The interference was there last year. When it was tested did you have the bloke doing it that did it today wandering aimlessly?

    It’s also not just the interference. I sat in NW corner today and you cannot hear what anyone is saying.

    How was the sound system tested? If it was done in an empty stadium I’m sure the sound was ok.

    As Keefly mentioned above, the sound system has been very poor for 10+ years, certainly at least from my seat in L block in the Kop.

    poor clarity and has been for some years, 24k people will soak up an awful lot of sound and it showed today. regardless of static interference which was annoying but couldn't be helped, the quality and clarity of the speakers are below par for the size of the ground.

    That Glen Ackroyd bloke keeps coming on here and saying that. I'm sorry but the sound system is not right in the top and hasn't been for a decade or so. Yes there is sound and yes it's at sufficient volume but the sound is just muffled and not discernible. Someone from the club should spend some time up there on a match day and then come back and tell us how thorough the testing was.

    it was terrible in the NW corner too. No one could understand a word so then people started talking quietly between themselves.

    Thankfully there is the full speech doing the rounds on Liverpool's Twitter Page as How has mentioned above. Makes very difficult viewing.

    What a man.

    MK Dons one of the best sound systems that I have heard. Surely screened cabling should eliminate feed back and interference if earthed properly.

    First thing my daughter did after getting back today was to look for this and we listened to it together. (I didn't go to the game I was working). She said it would have been nice to hear it live.
