Tannoy, your view.
 

Everyone seems to have their own ideas of what should happen regarding pre-match and half time entertainment, should we be allowed to make our own atmosphere as in years gone by, please post your views.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

The thing that annoys me is, Ricky Kirby, Music and announcements are fine, just not so loud.
Constant chattering, getting stuff wrong (information and facts), holding up play, holding up the minutes silence, is just irritating. constantly telling the Ultra's to make some noise (as if the need telling), "forgetting" to switch off the Mic. Making sure he is being filmed for the crossbar challenge;). He is just an Amateur.

Perhaps, we get our original tannoy man back, and just have Ricky Kirby for the crossbar challenge.

By the way the guy's in his forties, why is he called Ricky at that age.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

This season the tannoy is certainly a lot louder then before, which is better in my opinion for announcing substitutes, goalscorers etc during the game but the music is miles too loud.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Well I can't complain cause its not as loud for me.
I used to stand right underneath a tannoy - guaranteed same place everyweek, no-one would take it :D :D
Now they have put the roof on (well half of it) they moved the tannoy down and forward a bit, its now in front of me slightly, so not as bad on the eardrums :D

Funny, in my head, he's a Dick. ;)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Just turn him down, so he provides background music, then turn him slightly louder for announcements, teams, etc. I don't pay my money to see/hear him. He should be a minor part of the day, not the main attraction.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

To be honest, while 2BR are sponsoring the tannoy, etc, we're stuck with Dicky Kirby. If it isn't reduced in volume, I'm taking my wire cutters. ;)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Loweiy you voted "other" what's your idea?

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Ricky Kirby isn't too bad apart from the mid-atlantic Tony Blackburn-esque radio slur & his absolutely awful choice in pre-match music - why all the bloody reggae?!
It's painful!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Agree with volume DOWN was in 1st aid post and couldn't hear what patient was saying which if important medical information!!!!! we need to be able to hear whats being said.

Sorry 2BR but please get him to turn it down a bit for safetys sake if not eardrums!!!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Thought the reggae was great. "The Liquidator" - Harry J. All Stars played on Saturday - top tune! Just as long as he doesn't play Oasis or any of those bloody indie bands...but that's the whole point, isn't it? We all have different musical tastes, so better to play no music at all (apart from occasional blasts of Cart On). :)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

That's the thing, why not stick to the classic football tunes that the majority, if not everyone on the ground will appreciate? ie Ring of Fire, Impossible Dream, Cart On etc.
Reggae grates on me no end!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

The Liquidator is a classic football tune - heard it played at loads of grounds over the years...or maybe I'm showing my age!!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Dunno what tune you're on about Wynonie, it might have played after I shoved the cotton wool in my ears :D
