fanjita Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 We've all just watched the game and we know the f**#^%in score so why do they have to announce it over the tannoy? Do they think that some of us may have been sleeping and missed a goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calculus Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Didn't notice TBH, although I do remember the lovely Sam Mason reading out the half time score of the game we were at once. Now that was bad.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 How is that any worse than the PA announcer reading out our full time score though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbored Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Dunno why people keep going on about the so called dolman early leavers as its all a bit boring ... not sure if u didn't notice but south stand was well empty by the 90 mins . I sit by an exit in the dolman and hardly anyone left early today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long standing planning condition from when the Dolman Stand was built blocking the decades long view from the Mandela House flats... Residents withdrew opposition to the plans as long as announcements were made informing them of the final score on match playing days. Fair enough I think -good on 'em.

Mind you, I was 1 minute late getting in when we played Blackpool at home about 15 ( ish) years ago, I watched the whole game and believed we had won 1-0. This was until I got back to the car, turned the radio on and found out Blackpool had scored in the first 30 seconds and we had drawn 1-1 I did wonder why the crowd 'celebrations' were fairly mute at the end of the game! edit, after looking it up, I'm pretty sure it was 1995/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I dunno, gives the winners a chance to cheer and rub the noses in the losers…we haven't had enough of that this season. I particularly liked the announcement of Pitman's goal… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Should they not read out the team line ups before kick off..? Everyone can see who's out there on the pitch. Why do they put the club badge all over the place? It's not like we've forgotten who we have come to watch. As for the PA announcer telling us about substitutions..! We know, we are watching!

City Rocker Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I understand the Bristol Rovers announcer reads out our scores, but only when we are losing. Our announcer, on the other hand, never reads out Rovers scores, as it is not relevant to us. Pretty reasonable though for our man to confirm our scoreline to those in the stadium. It can't do any harm can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well some of the posters on here obviously see a different game to me at times, so maybe it's not a bad thing that we can all agree on the 'kin score.

Thatwasclose Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 It takes two seconds to announce, it's before all other results in the league are announced, gives a chance for fans to give a cheer.... I could go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
