If anyone at the club is reading this, can you get the volume turned down a bit……PLEASE !!!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the bloke that makes announcements at a stadium makes you angry, then maybe the issue isnt the bloke making the announcements. Have a good day. What would you say if he worked at a railway station? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before he starts making announcements you can look around and see people having conversations, then for around 30 minutes everyone is stood/sat there looking like zombies, waiting for kick/off so they can talk again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I don’t attend football for the pre match or half time entertainment or the PA announcements . Wouldn’t bother me at all if nothing happened . But , I guess some people like it but surely they can aim for a higher intelligence level than that moron ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redminster Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 I don’t have anything against the bloke other than when shortly before kick off when he says (for example), “it’s Bristol City versus Nottingham Forest and it’s NEXT” as if he’s presenting the coverage on telly and we’re going to the ads. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 He announced that 50% of the 50/50 draw goes to the trust fund. So is he saying they only sell 2000 tickets each game, or that the biggest prize will only ever be £1000, regardless of how many tickets more than 2000 are sold? Anyone know?

I had the impression that it was capped, but don't know for fact Is it the Robins foundation the money goes to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe after lunch, it is the sound of snoring! Anyway, it is a fine thing to hear. I don't seem to notice it at football or rugby, presumably because of the PA noise.

I have often wondered what triggered that sudden, inexplicable faux pas. Meanwhile, Downsy continues to wreak havoc and make our ears bleed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the behind closed doors tests back in covid times TMS broadcast the `Lords` hum` over the commentary to create some atmosphere.

Lord Northski Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 He really is Bas Savage of stadium announcers. Not a particularly pc nickname either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
