The chap who announces the teams

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.

The guy who only welcomes back 'Burnley' for the second half?
It is cringeworthy, as you say.

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

Yes, find it very cringeworthy and disrespectful to the opposition

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

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

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.

I’ve no idea why that’s there.

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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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,

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

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?

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