The chap who announces the teams

[Jakubs Tash]

Is it just me who cringes listening to this chap when he reads the team out and introduces the lads back on in the second half?

I know it’s not important but I’m sure we could do better.

[Bosscat]

If you don't like him why the heart on the "subject line" header

[dougcollins]

The guy who only welcomes back 'Burnley' for the second half?

It is cringeworthy, as you say.

[Bordeauxclaret]

It was worse when he used to shout Burnley and then whisper or mumble the opponents name.

[ClaretsPadiham]

Get Jeff Brown back

[Marney&Mee]

Get Jeff Brown back

I said get Jeff Brown back

[Bosscat]

I said get Jeff Brown back

Well ya buy one ya get on free
I said Ya buy one ya get one free

[Burnley1989]

Used to hate him tbh, I’ve got used to it now and barely notice it

[Claret3495]

Yes, find it very cringeworthy and disrespectful to the opposition

[Stalbansclaret]

Infantile. They didn’t even read out the Sheff U line up I don’t think.

[claptrappers_union]

They've not announced the visiting teams all season when the players have entered the pitch.

[IanMcL]

I think it is disrespectful to the crowd. I would like to gear both teams announced. It doesn't stop me cheering the Burnley names.

[Jakubs Tash]

If you don't like him why the heart on the "subject line" header

I’ve no idea why that’s there.

[Bosscat]

I’ve no idea why that’s there.

Its easy done JT

[steve1264b]

He reads out the away team every game

[groove]

I think all grounds have them.

[wilks_bfc]

He reads out the away team every game

They do, but only once and that’s around 20-30mins before kick off.

If your not in the ground by then to hear it and because, for some reason we use the large screens to show a game that we are watching live so don’t display the team lineups and phone signal is crap, you have no idea who’s playing for the opposition

[mikeS]

We need to bring Pie and pea challenge back.
Wonder what became of that giant pie?

Bizarrely, it was called 'Pie and Chips', though there were no chips present.

[Swizzlestick]

Apologies if I’ve missed a ‘bit’ here but surely the chips is referencing the fact you had to chip the ball into the pie?

[Nori1958]

I remember Preston getting complaints because the Burnley team wasn't read out correctly

[dandeclaret]

The players had to "Chip" the ball into the pie.... that's where the chips bit came from

[bfcjg]

Better entertainment would have been pie and pee, after a skilfull before the game who could "wet" the crust most .

[Bosscat]

Apologies if I’ve missed a ‘bit’ here but surely the chips is referencing the fact you had to chip the ball into the pie?

chipping the ball through the hole in the crust

[MT03ALG]

The teams are also only occasionally shown on the display boards which are usually full of adverts etc.

[Targetman]

He reads out the away team every game

I'm always in the ground 20 minutes before kick off and never once this season have I heard the the away team announced over the PA system.

[Fretters]

I believe it got loose and floated away.

[Fretters]

Who's the chap who's been announcer since the 90s? He's read the teams for decades so I've grown up to his voice but I literally know nothing about him. Quite the club servant really,

[dougcollins]

Such existential thinking obviously left me behind.

[what_no_pies]

Jeff Brown is an odious turd.

[FCBurnley]

Ray Lott ( Lotty) was the best Especially when he used to read out Rovers HT score if they were losing.

[KRBFC]

The mascot penalty shoot out, cheerleaders, pie and peas challenge and they used to have kids playing a match on the pitch before the game, was that just fans having a kick about?

[basil6345789]

Geof Butterfield was the best one

[dougcollins]

Is Ian Bannister still there?

[Juan Tanamera]

Leave the lad alone, if wasn't for him I'd have no idea it was Burnley coming out for the second half.

[wilks_bfc]

Or that we have to “make some noise” for them
