Call and response.
We must stop it happening again.

The Yanks have taken over the lunatic asylum!
We've got multiball; cheerleading PA, Forty seven player squads - even if half those are out on loan. What next - a specialist Corner team? Flags on the play? All we need is Time Outs!
Altogether now chant:
DEFENCE, DEFENCE, DEFENCE!!!!! |
We just need Gary Barlow singing at half time in the FA cup final. |  | | |

The call and response with players' names is a Bundesliga thing isn't it?
Regardless, it sounded awful on the box! |  |

I think the bloke is just doing his job in the style the club wants, in fact if Ashton himself took over the mike it wouldn't be done any differently. |  |
| Veni Vidi Participatur. Now we can get back to competing. |

FWIW, I thought his reading of Binyon's For the Fallen was in completely the wrong tone too. |
I missed all that because I was going through airport security to get into A Block. |  |

I haven't been to PR since he took over from Rob but I hear it on the box and it's not pleasant.
It's a thing though. Some people actually think this is the way forward, turning football supporters, who let's face it have been pretty good at organising themselves as regards making a noise for over 100 years, into braying sheep.
I've had it all asked of me in the 18 years I've been on the working end of a football ground radio mic. Goal music (NO), attempted co-ordinated chants before kick-off (NO), call and response goal scorers (NO), the list goes on.
The job is simple.
Plug what needs to be plugged before the game and at half time.
DON'T announce the teams when they come out of the tunnel, that's what run-out music is for.
If there's a club song, just play it and let the supporters do the work - they are not primary school children (in the main) and do not need to be told to sing EEJB/Singing The Blues/Hey Jude
Read the team sheet - really quickly for the away side so they can't get into it and with a half-second pause in between each name for the home side so the fans can cheer.
Announce the goals - upbeat and happy for home, like you're reading the 10pm headlines for away.
Announce the subs - see goals.
Announce the attendance, thank everyone.
Announce the final score, thank the sponsors, go home.
Do all of the above talking like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING, rather than a runner doing an interview just after you've finished the London Marathon.
Anything else, is making it all about you when actually you are one of the least important people there. Let the players on the pitch and the supporters in the stands create the atmosphere. That's how it's always worked and how it should always be. |  | | |

Overreaction.
Not everything at football needs to be analysed to death. |  |

As I understand it, the call and response didn't go down at all well with club staff, either, so I doubt it will be happening again. |  |

Embarrassing.
Do we/he still do that "Blue Army" rubbish at the start of the game? TO be honest, I'm sure he's a good bloke but all this "extra" stuff is unnecessary and cringy. I wonder if he's been told to do these things, or its just him. |
He has his script written for him by the one who looks like he should be on thunderbirds - the one who doesn't leave his side. But suspect he puts his really awful and annoying spin on it. | | | |

on the tele it's the ' come on the town' bit that grinds me.
It sounds horrible on the tele so god knows how it sounds in person. |
I don't like "the Town" or even worse "the Ipswich" at all.
The Arsenal and The Villa have a grammatical reason behind them but anything apart from The Blues or The Tractor Boys, no thanks.
And we can lose those red away shirts while we're at it too. |  | | |

Really good. And remember you are also the announcer for the away fans. And wish them a safe trip home. It’s appreciated. |  | | |

it was over the top as usual and must have made the Witches guys feel slightly second-hand. Pretty clear where the Witches were to Wardley on a scale of importance sort of thing. |
That’s because the difference is huge!! | | | |

The announcer did it in 2000 when we played Manchester United in our first home match of the season.
It was a bit cringe, but the kids liked it. |  |

Yes, that would be courteous and we should return to that. I agree the announcer should read out both teams. |  | | |

I realise it's literally a whole different ball game, but when Tom Westley went out to bat for Essex at Hove in July, the (Sussex, obviously) announcer said "Today marks Tom Westley's 250th first-class game for Essex. Congratulations, Tom." I wish football could show just a bit more of that kind of class sometimes.
My favourite announcer is the guy at Sutton Utd, who sounds a bit like Christopher Martin-Jenkins. Colchester's is very good too. (He seems to have read TRNC's rule-book, above.) I'd give him 9/10, as he does rush reading out the away team too much for my liking. But before that he does "welcome the players, staff and supporters" of the opposition team. And he does have a proper East Anglian accent. | | | |
