Best tannoy announcements
« on May 14, 2017, 10:30:03 pm by Andy Smith »
Went to play off final Leamington Spa v Hitchin Town on Bank Holiday Monday very good crowd in excess of 2000.
Due to large crowd and the ground being miles away from anywhere cars were parked anywhere down country lanes.
So 5 mins before kick off this gem comes over the tannoy
"Can the owner of the car parked across the entrance to the chicken farm please move it"
To which my mate comes out with classic "Cos the chickens want to cross the road"

Any other gems out there

Kettering Town announcer on the Saturday after Ken Richardson got sent down - forgive me, Hermann, if I have the odd word slightly wrong:

"And here's a record for Ken Richardson who's been unavoidably detained and can't be with us here today. 'Firestarter' by The Prodigy". Best one ever, ever, ever for me. The only thing that could conceivably approach it would be the headline "Franz Ferdinand Found Alive. WW1 a Mistake".

Cheers

Yes Roversdude the Scarborough minibus was my favourite, I bet he could have shot himself on reflection.

I like the one at the KM recently,
"Can the owner of car reg ABC123 please return to your car immediately! It's moving" couldn't work out if they had left the hand brake off or it was being stolen

This has been done before and I mentioned it at the time but it remains a favourite of mine so I'll recount it again to the best of my recollection. The dearly departed Ken Avis was on the PA.

Avis: Can patrons on the Popular side please remember that there are families present and refrain from the use of foul language?

*Mic left on with a bit of feedback for the next minute or so*

Avis: f**king hell linesman you blind bas**rd, that was a country mile offside.

Cue much hilarity on the Popside.

Does anyone remember Charles Ekberg who was the Radio Humberside correspondent he could show Ken Avis a thing or two when dropping one over the air. One that comes to mind was when the Sports Editor said "Let's go over to Blundell Park, how's it going Charles" the reply over the air was "No good coming to me I'm just off for a slash"
Sorry to distract but it is close season.

I remember that, Leeds at home. Was it the Friday night game in around 2010? :laugh:

Still laugh at the Dover 5-4 game when their bloke scored a Hat trick in 18 Minutes and then got substituted and PA had 4 goes at his name without ever using the same name twice and I am still not sure if any of the four he used were "right"

Was it Joff Vansittart ?

Not at a game but once went to a Pool presentation night at the Comrades. A lad who played for the Woolpack in town was called R.Sole. Woolpack was the best team in the league at the time and won the league and cup so had a couple of trophies to collect. Remember the chuckles going round when the man on the mic announced his name the first time then tried to pronounce it differently the second time he had to say his name. It just made it worse.

Van Hoojidonk scoring 3/4 at BV in the 0-8 v Florists and the pronunciation of his name being different every time.

Yes a good one there. I still WISH that I could find the Jeff Stelling out takes from "It'll be alright on the Night" or similar where he was trying to say PvH had signed for Celtic ... and could not do it for laughing

I look on YouTube but have never found it y-e-t !

I can think of one involving Jermaine Beckford !

Quote

"It was just his name as he came on as a sub for Bolton(?) But I kinda spat it out through gritted teeth like it was shit off of a shovel! Didn't mean to at all! "
