He's not helped by the passing over to Tim Shires who sounds professional. Its totally cringeworthy and needs to be stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Some of the comments here are a bit harsh. For one thing, "It's Ashton Gate, it's Championship football" or similar has definitely been heard before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engage in one conversation whilst listening to another two or three around me. Usually manage to eat and drink at the same time too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't usually pay too much attention to the announcements to be honest but one thing I did notice last night was that the half time draw numbers were read out very deliberately, which may have been in response to one of the criticisms on here. That said, I was in the Grandstand but usually sit in the South Stand so maybe the speakers are just louder in the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodjias Wrist Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 Some really harsh comments i reckon. All he needs to do is stop saying this is ashton gate stadium. Why cant he just say welcome city fans for todays match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to remind listeners what station they're listening to. Gotta make sure they correctly fill in their RAJAR diaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted October 26, 2016 Report Share Posted October 26, 2016 I'd have no problem with the content and tone of the rest of his delivery if he didn't repeatedly shout (yes shout) COME ON YOU REDS into the microphone at any given opportunity. It's almost like he's trying to make it his catchphrase. I was amused to hear three older women moaning about him on the way out saying how he's like something off kids tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, very harsh critics on here - Liverpool players and their opponents are reminded that "This is Anfield" every time they walk down the tunnel, not many complaints up there.....we should be proud of our splendid, shiny, relatively new home...I can't hear 'This is Ashton Gate' enough!
