Redmycolour Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Did anyone hear the big mistake by our matchday announcer when city emerged on the pitch for second half,in his words"welcome back the boys in blue & White" myself and a few others in South Stand heard it,I just wondered if it would have been recorded on cctv.

TBW Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I noticed too but nobody around me did so I assumed I heard him wrong. He's shit. I don't know why we have him, he doesn't even like football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim S Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Im just gonna get this out there now.... as gutted I was to lose my job - it is what it is - I hold no grudges and have moved on. I want Ian (Downsy) to succeed and Im sure whatever he said, if he said it, was a simple mistake. Trust me - in my time doing announcements - I made my fair share! And in the grand scheme of things - if you are complaining about a 5 second announcement after watching what happened on the pitch - then you really need to question where your moaning priorities lie! This is the kind of thing we usually see after a 5-0 win - nothing else to complain about so lets turn on the announcer! Trust me - I know Ian reads this and will take it on board. To be fair - any other "constructive criticisms" he has listened too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownsyBCFC Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Hey Chaps. Thanks for the feed back as ever. A special thank you to Tim who took me under his wing and showed me the ropes. He has been a great support and continues to be so, for which I am hugely grateful. He found the original OFTBC walk on music for us a few weeks ago too as I know the newer version we were playing wasn’t to everyones taste, so thanks Tim, you’re a legend. As for when the players came back on yesterday I said “Please welcome back our boys in red and white” but perhaps the ‘boys’ sounded like blue? I can talk pretty fast sometimes (As Tim knows too well!) and I know from reading these threads that the PA is better in some areas than others, but that matter is also in hand. Either way thanks as ever for the feedback which I try to listen to and if you ever want to get in touch directly it’s downsy@bcfc.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you say "the boys in boys and white" then? None of us heard "the blue in red and white" and misunderstood the word boys. If I'm wrong then sorry in advance but seems strange that a bunch all heard the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
