bs3 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 He seems to know sod all about football and Bristol City. When reading the players names out at the beginning of the match he never welcomed back Luke Ayling (probably didn't know who he was), he just read his name out. Not something DaveL would of done, he would have made a point to give a warm return to Luke. Bring back DaveL, he knew what he was talking about , a love for the club and a connection with the fans.

Bristol Rob Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 There was a horrible 'Partidge' moment when he announced the death of a supporter (Roger I believe), and then straight to a happy birthday/prize draw type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 The sound quality before the game was excellent but at half time when someone was interviewed I couldn't hear much because of the muffled sound again the same as it was last match when Lee Haskins was interviewed. I only knew it was a female right at the end but no idea who she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 He has improved in the last couple of weeks, he did say he doesn't know much about football but I saw him at Rotherham away so fair play to him for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southstandoriginal Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 It seems incredible that a football club should give the job of announcer to someone who knows nothing about football. I know he's a DJ and should be good at "performing" but he isn't really here to entertain, just to be informative. The footy and the crowd are the entertainment.

DavidNoble Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Not the best but he's improving and clearly wants to be better. It is strange not to get a 'football man' for the job but he'll get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Luke Ayling was decent enough for us. Very glad our DJ just said his name and nowt more. Played in a good side that won the double but by no means a great favourite or legend at the Gate. Nice that when playing in front of the Dolman he clapped us and we clapped him. Enough z.

Odd point of view to be 'very glad' that his name was read out and 'nowt more' but ok. For a club with such meager achievements as ours, surely the least that should be expected is the announcer to say 'welcome back' before the name of a player who was part of a double winning side. I am pleased that the new announcer does seem to have taken criticism and suggestions on board and actively tried to improve. Doesn't appear to have sulked about it, or have an ego and just tried his best to make improvement that fans requested. That's not always the case with staff here so it's good to see.

SuperFly2002 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 The sound quality in the South Stand is shocking, so muffled. Please can you club sort this out, we never used to have this in the old Williams Stand, so why now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't ever forget that side in a hurry. Maybe Luke asked him not to make a big deal of it!! As far as I know he wasn't forced out of Ashton Gate so made a choice not to be a part of what LJ and the club are trying to do . The DJ is quite good on the Radio!!

Port Said Red Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Downsy is a talking head, he has obviously been picked because he is a professional broadcaster rather than because he is a fan. He does the rugby as well, which I understand is more his game. I think the fact that he went to Rotherham to presumably try to improve his understanding of the game and the fans speaks volumes for him, the first game he seemed to think that all he had to do was turn up and do some sort of turn but has quickly realised that he got found out doing that. He seems to be doing a bit more homework now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meh Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Ayling - deserved his applause and seemed grateful Downsy - I tweeted him after a couple of games as he was getting some terrible abuse and told him to keep his chin up and he was doing fine. i felt compelled to as there is being a dick like we all can be at times and then being utter vile c***s and forgetting people can be upset at unnecessary abuse. He messaged me back saying thanks for my support and words so for me we got a guy who cares about doing his job better and is trying so give him a season to polish his act. As said he is improving so all good for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unan Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Don't meant to be negative, but he's not a sporting head & he managed to still be employed by the club. He's probably on a good wedge for what he actually does, I'd be annoyed if he wasn't taking it very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
