Denbury Red Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Whilst I am not a Downsey fan - I really think he has an impossible job sitting in a booth in the corner of the Lansdown and South Stand - it's impossible for him to see the subs (albeit he was really slow at announcing the subs last night and either needs to have an eye test or get some binoculars to see the board. Is this "booth" a contributory factor to the PA system seeming muffled all the time -as it was impossible to understand the names of any of the players her was announcing. The whole Sound System seems to have had the "Bass" button turned up which means everything is "thumping" with bass when any sound comes out. To top it all - when announcing the teams at the beginning of the game - he was saying the players names with loud music being played in the background - although it wasn't the background it seemed like the same volume - neither could be heard properly = that must have been down to Downsey for not fading the music down whilst he read out the team names. This is again an absolute SHAMBLES by the media team - sort it out!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least she had an excuse , she was nearly always pissed , fair play to her though kind of liked her in a way . met her a few times in town she was a live wire and grew up close to her . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) I suppose in fairness to him, if whoever is supposed to be putting the relevant information on the big screens got their act together,he could read what was happening along with the rest of us.He seems to be the fall guy in what is a pretty shambolic way of running that side of things.

When you are "the face" of an operation you take the flak, but lets be honest 99% of the issues brought up about him previously are solely down to his ineptitude Whether someone else should take the flak for putting him into that position that can be argue I am not sure how many saw the footage of City women's player Abi Harrison interviewing and reporting from the game last night but she was a 100 times better with the mic and she is a professional athlete ! She had enthusiasm, humour and understood what she was talking about, three massive holes in the current person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does what he is employed to do.It is not to my taste.However I think he is a not great cog in a not great bigger machine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 There appeared to be a prolonged announcement during the second half and didn’t have a clue what he was saying (Dolman Stand). Any ideas what it was about, car with lights on, traffic lights stuck on red in Ashton Road, birth expected get to BMH…….. or was it subs being announced 10 minutes after it had happened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheReds Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 Also find it really frustrating when he kind of mumbles the opposition substitutions because they are the other team. I would rather know who was going off and coming on regardless of team. Of course you don't have to state it in an upbeat voice, but speak clearly so we actually know who we are playing against. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
