Very much this
I said the same last night. Richie Reynolds is an absolute bell-end.
Totally agree.Seriously, when the opposition crowd have already sung "You're only here to see the <Insert Team Name Here>", can we please not play to their egos and pump them up by shouting about how it's our biggest crowd of the season.
Here's a handy checklist for Richie Reynolds:
Announce the attendance? Fine.
Announce the travelling support? Fine.
Thank everyone for their support? Fine.
Pump up the away fans? Not fine.
No fan zone V Norwich either.The club do their best to accommodate away fans as they pay £30 a ticket and drink lots of beer. Most away grounds you go to these days seem to have friendly helpful stewards.
I expect last night's different pre match was down to the remembrance ceremony.
Will we be required to send in sick notes to explain to the club, that we weren't in a fit state to attend, in future?
Type of announcements aside, it's time to sideline RR in my opinion. Like to see someone different have a go. I find him too over bearing and not particularly slick in his delivery. Seen plenty of other clubs do it a lot better to be honest.

Last night the attendance announcement had a noticeable effect on noise levels in the Away End. At a time in the game when we were defending or had just defended 4 or 5 corners on the bounce. Stupid. Give it up.
That's because your ticket was used!"....and our biggest crowd of the season!"
It's not a 'crowd' tho, is it? It's the number of tickets sold. There's a fair few empty seats being thanked for their support. A number of times I've been mailed by the club to thank me for my support, despite me being ten thousand miles away at the time.
look around when they do ........... sickeningI can't believe people applaud the away support.
A.K.A Timmy trendyI said the same last night. Richie Reynolds is an absolute bell-end.
when some of them are taking the piss out of you .....................We're not fighting a war here, just a game of football. Nothing wrong with giving the travelling fans a moment of respect.
Sorry, this wasn't a "why do we announce (and some clap) the away support?" discussion. That one's been done to death. People sit on different sides of that debate and are never going to shift.
This is more specifically last night's extra step that was clearly going to play up to Villa fans given they'd already sung "Only here to see the Villa, You're only here to see the Villa".
