redfred Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 'Mr Ashton' is a name used to notify the stewards in each stand that there is an issue in that stand.I can only assume there was an issue with someone running between the South Stand and the Dolman....

Red Rum Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 That Mr Ashton is a reasonable bloke, he's needed to guide the hapless stewards from stand to stand; he's needed in the South stand, he's needed in the Dolman stand and then after all that he's not needed at all.But, if an announcement for Mr Ashton interfered with the announcement of the impending introduction of our Kieran Agard and stopped us from hearing what changes were being made, I'd be...OI, ASHTON, NOOO! You can take your 'secret' coded name and your mysterious meaning and shove them where the sun don't shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 why did the Tannoy go for Mr Ashton just as we were about to score ? another lost chance Just as Bobby Reid was about to take a corner.Effing ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Cyril Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's a code name for something. Not sure what though. i checked. Mr Ashton is the secret code to say someone has blocked the crapper with a king size dreadnought.The dirty bugger struck in two stands in quick succession and was on his way to cause carnage in the Atyeo when luckily our well drilled rapid response turd team were able to intercept him.The tannoy may have been annoying but it was essential to triangulate the response team on the dirty little chodbin terrorist.Well done all involved, great job today.

Dollymarie Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 It's code for there is an emergency of some description and for stewards to make their way to the area mentioned. Unfortunate they happened when they did but then when you ring 999 you don't expect the operator to ask you to wait while they finish their drink. Am emergency is exactly that, and needs dealing with immediately sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldstandrobin Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yes, I well remember years ago at school, at assembly, the Headmaster would read a list of names and say they were to assemble at midday outside his office to meet Corporal Punishment. I recall his CO was a certain Major Isewater, I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Given that there are only three places Mr Ashton might, or might not be required is there any chance of getting someone with a less depressed sounding voice to direct him?Sounds like Mr Ashton is on a permanent state of high alert, ready to strike at any time but he is working undet the direction of the world's least enthusiastic dictator.

Julian Clary would be a better announcer. A bit of innuendo and double entendre would encourage Mr Ashton, and quite a few others, to wiz to the Dolman in no time at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
