...about our PA system or matchday announcer.

The one at Huddersfield was shocking last night.

Had no idea what was being said at any point and only realised he was talking about the chairmans walk when I picked up the words "BFC in the Community"

even when he shouts...LET'S HEAR IT FOR BURNLEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYY??

Or when he has no clue how to pronounce any name slightly more complicated than Smith.

You seem like a fun night out.

I was stood at the back of the stand and myself and others were baffled by their 3rd substitution as we were convinced the PA had announced a double substitution when they made their second, which would have made that one their 4th!

Ray Lott was the best ever PA especially when Rovers lost.

All he did was play music before the game really. He did once announce that Blackburn were losing a vital game and was all but sacked by Bob Lord for doing so.

As I remember it, his tone of voice when announcing Rovers scores `said it all`

I think Dave Swanton got the same treatment as announcer at PNE commenting on rivals Blackpool.

Too bloody right.
I'd want to hear the DJ announce that the buffet is open and get there before somebody else scoffs all the sausage rolls

Was he the same guy that listed our full matchday squad at a ridiculous speed?

He was sacked immediately after that game. PNE got complaints from Burnley fans but also shed loads from their own fans because it was Grezza's first game back there and he didn't give them the chance to applaud after reading out his name.

Anything to do with the Yorkshire accent ?

Don't forget his best bit, "goal scorer for Burnley...….."


HIs eighties playlist could sell very well today

Agree completely couldn’t make anything out. Also worth adding that friggin drum beat was annoying too.

I'm sure we had one PA man who, when Blackburn were losing, used to read their half-time score out last of their division, so the fans could give it the cheer it deserved.
