what about the one we had years ago?? We even took him to the LDV final against blackpool. He was excellent and the one we have now is a just a tool
 
I think the FL try to encourage impartiality from the announcer,

This was far from the case at Shewsbury, as an away fan I was not impressed.

Have to admit the announcer really did his bit in getting the home crowd going. At half-time he pleaded for an already vocal crowd to really get behind their team and make up for the fact they were down to 10 men. In addition to getting behind their team, the home crowd were baying for blood ever time that Dicko, Bilel or JPK went anywhere near the ball encouraging the ref to even it up to 10 men a side.
 
Can't we get Ron Martin on the pitch and do a Delia Smith "Let's be 'aving" you speech??


:tease:
 
To be fair to him, the system has been terrible this season. The speakers seem to cut out a lot, I remember one game they barely didn't work.
 
He's a Chelsea fan. Sack him.

We all have "second" teams, however Mick is a long standing supporter of SUFC, I remember him from the old "away club" weekend trip to Plymouth in February 1974 when he shared the room I was in, as well as many other trips when the "away" support was about 30 each match. Perhaps you should go to Fulham as listen to Diddy David Hamiltion asking the supporters to welcome chairman "Mo" as he enters the ground!
 
Did the Swindon announcer not get given the boot for overdoing the passion against one of their rivals a few years ago??....or maybe Bristol City, Reading or someone down that way?

And the Charlton PA definitely got booted out 5 or 6 years ago for constantly referring to Crystal Palarse in a derby game?
 
Yep I'm all for TB to be the matchday announcer. Get the crowd going before the match is what we need like other clubs.

The present one is an embarrassment and makes me and my mates makes cringe whenever he say's anything. The away fans must be laughing their socks off, and think their at a non league game!

Also can someone at the club turn down/off that god awful music/din they keep playing at ear splitting decibels,especially in the south upper before and at half time as I'm seriously considering bring some industrial ear defenders at the next match! Or probably just change the music once in a while.

Sorry to anyone who I might of offended who likes the music!
