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

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

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

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

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

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Don't know the tune either Wynonie.. can you please hum it??

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

YouTube - harry j allstars, the liquidator

See...bet you know it after all!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

And you say Morrissey is depressing, it just goes on and on, over and over again.;)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Alright, alright, we'll get him to play some bhangra just for you!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

No come lets not bring anything else into this, the tune and there is a tune does go round and round and I found myself wishing there would be some vocals to end the monotony.:(

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

I’ve gone for other because I don’t really take any notice unless the Burnley blokes on then I just shut down.

I think we should give that Loweiy bloke off the radio a go. He’d be good at it.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Monotonous to you, a cracking good tune to others. Can you not imagine everyone clapping along with the handclapping sections with the sound reverberating off the Clayton End roof?

Obviously not, but that's the whole point I was making. I like it, you don't. I'm sure there are tunes that mid-Atlantic accent man plays which you like, but I can't stick...that stupid Into The Valley thing he spins sometimes, for instance.

...which is why I think it's best to have no music at all!

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Really think the volume is a nonsense, however, that's more to do with the club than Dick Kirby.

Whatever we have should be ignorable, £13 to be aurally assaulted is just not on. Talking with other people is a big part of the match.

If you're a "singer", you don't want to be in competition with a PA system, it could be even louder with the roof on!

Really think Stanley could be different and fan friendly, Stockport last year was diabolic and we're heading there, why? :(

I'll be having a word when I pick my season ticket up, anyone else? ;)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

I don't think I can wait until Christmas to have a word. ;)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Nah..never heard it before,but we've only just got our first wirelesses' down here.:D

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

at least we can hear it in the clayton end now:Banane29::Banane29::Banane29:

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Best thing about today was the mike went missing so we didn't get the half time version of The Ricky Kirby Show, to be honest I think he's been on the forum as he was not as in your face today and we kicked the second half off without waiting for the music to stop.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Have you given it back yet ? :D:D

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Agreed, a much improved performance from Mr Kirby.
Although he may be sulking at us, he didn't bother coming on for the crossbar challenge.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

davo69 paid me to do it, honest !!!:)

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

There we have it Tannoy man wins the vote but not the majority therefore it's Ricky Kirby but if you're reading this Ricky keep it like yesterday with the volume down and not too much in peoples faces and the jobs still yours.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

I noticed he'd turned it up again yesterday.

Yet again there was not a second of dead time yesterday. Just a constant barrage of *****.

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

What did you make of the half time entertainment, TM?

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

I enjoyed RK rolling on the pitch. :D

Re: Tannoy, your view.
 

Not often I quote the full post but spot on. :thumbsup:

It would be so funny if the Clayton end just kept the ball..... please.
Don't even try to catch it.

Of course if you can hit the bar 2 out of 3 times, don't let me stop you.;)
