Before the match we are told that if we hear the bing bong then the message that follows is in respect of spectator safety. How is a lost credit card, two bikes chained together or a badly parked Honda Civic endangering spectators? Why not have as an extra pre match announcement that lost property or towed away vehicles can be enquired about at the matchday control centre after the game and keep the game interrupting announcements for emergencies only (is there a doctor in the house, evacuate there is a major incident, etc)?

I think we should get Iggy Pop to do the announcements he's got a great voice.

Jesus Christ, some people on here with zero tact. Yes he isn't the best but some of the comments in this thread are borderline abusive. The chances are the old boy does the announcements on a completely voluntary basis to the benefit of the club, and knowing how the club has been run historically there's a a good chance he can't see the pitch from wherever the bing bong machine is located! Imagine if he or someone who knows him had to read this sh*te. If you all feel that strongly why not suggest to the club that in the interest of safety something is done? Go in the Blackthorn and try and hear him then. You can't. It's actually quite dangerous that a potentially important message is impossible to hear. |

I've never had any more trouble hearing him than anyone else in there. The real issue is the PA system. |

I do worry that the announcement will be critical one day, eg get home quick your mum/dad has been rushed to hospital, and nobody will get the message. But is it the bloke or the tannoy? The bloke because he has a very weak voice and should not be in a job where clear communication is very important. He also devalues every announcement with diabolical timing! He's probably doing it for free. Will look forward to hearing you next season when you volunteer |

And you're not allowed to criticise unless you step in and do it yourself? Ridiculous nonsense! |

And wouldn't you be grateful if you were the person who had lost his/her credit card and now knew you could collect it after the game?. That was my debit card and I was very grateful!! 😂 |
