Who's the new guy? permanent or just standing in?
Thought he did a good job, very informative and crystal clear
 
John - the usual Tanoy Man - was at the game today and just said he's been told he'd been sacked but hadn't been given a reason why. I think todays voice on the tanoy belonged to some bloke from 2BR
 
well it sounded like Ricky Kirby from 2BR but somebody else said it was a guy from Radio Lancs. Judging by the way he announced the Burnley half-time (losing 2-0) three times, I would hazard a guess it wasn't the 2BR guy.
 
The tannoy didn't seem to be working on the Whinney Hill terrace. Not at the top end anyway.

Nice enough chap.........Sounded clear as a bell.
 
Its 2BR and permanant and John has had his chips.... John did it for what 3 years? out of the goodness of his heart so to speak....all the best to john who will probably always be known as tannoy man when ya pass him at stanley :).... 2br will be doing it all games now AFAIK
 
Seems like a nasty trick. To wait for the bloke to turn up for his 'shift' and then tell him he's surplus to requirements.

It would be nice if the Club acknowledged the Gentleman’s contribution, maybe a piece on the fishy site or a corner of a page in the Programme. We need to recognise those that contribute their time freely to the club, even those in paid positions should have a mention when they move on to other things.

All the best Tannoy Man, thanks for the entertainment. Cart on. :)

Ricky Kirby is actually a Leicester City fan :D
 
Do not know who was responsible but the announcement of Paul Mullin's second "equalising" goal just before half time against MK Dons is one memory I treasure.

It baffled the bloke next to me and got a mention in the MK Dons fans report.

I also liked the half time explanation.

Hopefully a regular favourite of mine the announcement of sponsored "stoppage time" at the end of each half remains unaffected. It led one away fan to ask "Is it sponsored by the minute?"

Seeing as we get outside support from both Burnley and Blackburn fans I thought it was pretty unprofessional to have a go at Burnleys result. Stick to the facts and leave your personal opinions at the door. Leicester City! Jeez.
 
I always thought john Tannoy man was decent enough at the job, thanks should go to him from the club along with an appology over how they told him.

But to be fair to him a guy who is a professional DJ and has his own show on a local radio station is always going to sound good over a microphone. Nice to see some variation in music too, although I though the music the lads ran out to (rocky sound track?) was just pure unadulterated chedder!!! Whether you like it or not that song has to mean something to the fans, and currently that song is Cart On.
 
I think asking for an apology when we dont know what happened is a bit OTT.. Otherwise agree 100% :)
