Totally agree with that. Sometimes your voice doesn't work and it's time to find someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Dazzler Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Had to laugh as I entered the Dolman around 2.45 he was saying that some guy (no idea who this was) had "been a Bristolian all his life". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he is lapping up every minute A bit harsh, but I think you may have hit the nail on the head. Commercial radio needs to fill airtime with 'entertainment' in the guise of vacuous on-air personalities (I won't go as far as to call them DJ's - I doubt very many know anything about music). And that I'm afraid is the mind-set of our new PA announcer. The job he needs to do is 180 degrees from his usual on-air one. I do think he's much less offensive than when he first started, but I really don't understand why he thinks he has to keep mentioning where we are or why he has to get excited like we are all four year olds at a birthday party.

Fiale Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I guess he's been told to gee up the crowd, if he just toned down a little and dropped the Ashton Gate non-sense - away fans drove there probably a fair distance, they know where they are, and it's our home, we know our stadium name.

David Brent Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 He said he was learning and taking onboard all the constructive criticism. That buys you some time but you've got to deliver sooner or later. Just as bad as the start of the season. It's nothing personal and I hope he doesn't feel that way. 'Excited at all the wrong times' is the way I feel is best to describe what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red white and red Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pleased a thread has been raised. He comes across as way too cocky/arrogant. clearly a failed children's entertainer. As above, I would prefer to just hear the half time scores and then utter silence rather than that dross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Have to agree it's pretty cringeworthy and all to Americanised it's not bloody NFL and also he doesn't need to tell us the score I know what the score is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy he talked about is still with us, so presumably will continue being a Bristolian for the rest of his life, too. As you say, he's really shite though.

BS15_RED Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Seems to be very much in favour with Bristol Sport, the Sam FM breakfast show is no where near as good with out him, but I'm afraid his efforts on the PA are on a par with Sam Mason all those years ago.

I miss through the belly to win a telly etc. Some harmless fun. Agree. Happy for a few birthday messages, but no point trying to rouse the crowd at half-time, half of them are in the concourse. Even away fans join in with football related comps during half-time. He will improve, but I find it a bit cringy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 This is Ashton Gate stadium. Many people have birthdays today. Come on you reds.

Along with shouting everything down the microphone and sounding surprised at everything he says. Might be ok for rugby, but awful for football. Bring back DL! Whilst I don't particularly like the new guy's style, DL also constantly made reference to it being Ashton Gate! That's not a new thing....

canno Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 He was awfully on Sat, He gabbled through the half time numbers in the half time draw,never heard any of them .did anyone claim it.?

I'll go a step further, (dons tin hat and gets coat, already shutting the door, and yes it hits my backside) but is there really any need for these birthday messages at all in these days of social media? Yes it was nice for the couple celebrating their Golden Anniversary, and maybe for kiddies under the age of 10 to hear their names. But do older people really feel that excited about hearing their name shouted out by a third rate wannabe DJ in the middle of a football game, really? People have other means of wishing eachother well etc nowadays don't they. And let's be honest unless you are the person sending or receiving the message you don't really give a flying fig that 'Jamie is 17 today, come on you reds' do you. Just gets annoying background noise. I appreciate half time entertainment is difficult, only a narrow window yo do anything, but we have done better in the past. Games against rival fans, etc, the youngsters having a kick about, anything that is less Downsy. I've seen a video of the players kicking football at an inflatable dartboard on YouTube recently, the balls have Velcro so they stick to the board, highest score wins, something like that between fans might be possible ? Edit; In fact why have anything at all, read out the scores, info about ticket availability for next games, any important announcements then turn the music down/off and let me be able to chat to the person next to me without yelling or using sign language.

Abraham Romanovich Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 What I couldn't understand on Saturday wes that just after we scored and the singing etc was about to start, someone on the tannoy had the bright idea of reading out the attendance and the number of away fans. Why not wait until the end of the game or at least let the celebrations for the goal finish before talking over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
