Drew Peacock Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I assume Mr Ashton is the bloke with the keys for the left hand exit door of the Dolman. He obviously never turned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 This sounds like it was a test for the stewards, This happens at least once a year to keep them on their toes. Mr Ashton is a code for the stewards to open all emergency exit gates. If they hear the second code name which i believe is Mr Clemence, whichever emergency the stand is in, that stand has to be evacuated immediately. That is what i have been told anyway. If we carry on losing games perhaps we might have the second announcement sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrobbin Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 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.Judging by your avatar. I think we have identified the cable laying culprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 i thought mr ashton was man of the match, he was everywhere at ashton gate saturday !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 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 allGive the team a warm hand.....I always love a wam hand on MY enterance !

Langford Red Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 The thing I find amazing isThe announcment is made far to earlythere is probabley no more than 1,000 in the standssurely it should be made 10 mins before kick off as that is when most fans get thereMost fans probabley never even heard of this announement !

I think you're on about a different thing. The announcements with the noise and what to do if there is an emergency are different to the announcement on Saturday about Mr Ashton being needed which was made during the game.

stoneroses Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Mr Ashton is indeed the code for a fire emergency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 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. he's here , he's there , he's every freakin where ...
