JHAGa Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Don't want to criticise too much, but can you please not shout so much next season, the PA is deafening enough as it is. Or at least not straight after the full-time whistle in a frustrating 1-0 defeat. I found it a bit irritating for the attendance to be shouted out down the mic in the same way you'd expect the announcer to react after a big win. Just some advice, not wanting to be overly critical, I get that you're a radio presenter and that's probably how you have to speak on those shows. There's nothing wrong in just declaring the attendance in a calm voice and saying well done for the support. Maybe I'm just a bit too grumpy and people will put me straight. Or maybe it's just the PA system making your voice loud? I do find the games I've sat in the Lansdown stand do seem to be louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Grovesy Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I have to say, I don't know what he adds. He is not really a football person (I'm told). Surely there must be others? David Lloyd back doing the presentations, could he be persuaded to return to match day presenting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tts_city Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 The PA system full stop is a shambles, its enough to make your ears bleed at times, I cant make out a word being said in pre match interviews, im in the lansdown stand so its a new system and bloody awfull, switch it off or sort it out.

Simon79 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Have to say, the PA system is horrendous. Has the rest of the stadium been upgraded? As I seem to remember that it was said it was affecting the new equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he still has a few things to improve on but it's a new role, it's technically his 23rd day of work here today! Seems a nice enough guy but can just be a bit over-the-top and too enthusiastic at times, which is no doubt a trait from radio work. As I said, maybe it's me being a bit too grumpy or the PA system doesn't help. But a bit of common sense, by all means be enthusiastic if we've just won 4-0 and I guess today's attendance was something to be proud about but we can be just as proud hearing it announced in a calmer manner!

AppyDAZE Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 The bloke is a total clown. Shouts at the top of his voice "Biggest crowd etc etc Shut the f** up. I remember him saying in front of the Geordies, what a massive crowd. The bloke is a total embarrassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's a sad fat overgrown child......it's like something from Smashy and Nicey, a flesh and blood cartoon. Sort out the PA and find someone who has insight, charm and a decent sense of humour. If u can't do that?...then leave the PA as an incoherent mess, and Downsy will continue to be thankfully incomprehensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's a lot better than when he started, the bloke is still learning his trade as far as the City goes. Give him more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City fan 1982 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I've no real problem with the guy, a bit cheesy.

bs3 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 The bloke is a parody of the worst local radio DJ. He adds nothing brings nothing and should be got rid of. His voice, attitude is not suited to football, he have no knowledge of the game or Bristol City. Bring back Dave L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 PA is far too loud. Totally defeats the object if you can't hear a friggin' word. Any chance we could have subtitles on the screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobArnold10 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 He's fine, the problem is the PA, too quiet in the Dolman, seems to be too load elsewhere. Yes he's a bit cheese but actually having been to enough away games, he's alright, there's a lot worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yes he is a bit loud and yes he needs to learn that after a defeat we don't need the attendance shouted out as if it is the most important thing but I do think he does a superb job at half time with all the birthday announcements and handing caps to new fans etc. He has improved and will continue to do so - leave him to it I say !!
