Substitutes announced. Not. Am I missing summat?

[KT17]

Last 2 or 3 games our subs haven't been announced before the start. Really peeves me. Part of the interest in the game is discussing sub options through the game, also I like knowing who's in contention/close to playing/manager's strategy.

Am I missing something?

Maybe there's a good reason? If so do tell.

If not, could we have 'em announced again, pretty please?

Do you get to your seat late on?

 

[catfish]

It seems they've dropped announcing the subs to play Ring Of Fire instead.

15 minutes before start I usually sit. The teams are read out just before the start, no subs of late. As I said, am I missing summat?

They list the subs during the initial read-through, which I guess is probably a lot earlier than 15 minutes before the start.

Need to get to your seat earlier sub's announced on first reading of teams

OK, if that's how it works, a strange decision by the club, I would have thought they wanted everyone guzzling in the bars as long as possible, not hiking up early to hear the one single reading of the subs. Please change it club.

They show the starting 11 and the subs on the tv screens in the concourse before every game whilst I'm guzzling.

 

[goldstone]

I want to know who the subs are

Again last night the Albion subs were not announced before the game. The Derby subs appeared on the screen, but not Brighton's.

I WANT OUR SUBS BACK.

Thanks DN, I hadn't realised.

To ignore 80% of your audience is remiss

While I like Ring of Fire, I would rather have the subs back to be honest. Yes, I can look them up etc..., but it just feels a lot more complete having the subs read out.

 

[Worthing exile]

Easy to sort, just work backwards from kick off.
Kick off
Ring of fire
Drop that anonymous rubbish music just before ROF
Full team news plus subs
Sussex by the Sea
If more time needed, when R Reynolds puts his head in the lens the first time, knock him out with the camera. He is the biggest waste of time. Do the pitch side interviews etc, yes but cut the dribble.

 

[goldstone]

If they can manage to list the away team subs on the screen just before kick-off (as they did with Derby), then they can list Albion's. Even that would not really suffice in my opinion ... I want them announced!

 

[nwgull]

Never mind the beer, pies, singing and general crowd atmosphere, and the match itself; if there's one thing I really look forward to with every Amex game, it's discussing the sub options.

Barber out etc.

 

[Quaid]

No second sub read thru = home win. I'd take that

 

[mothy]

I'd rather hear the subs than ring of fire tbh

 

[Withdean11]

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I like the ROF just before KO. We have won every time they have done it.. (?)

Best solution would be to show the subs on the big screen during the match. Perhaps alternating between the first 11 and the subs.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

I want them back, if only to stop the two blokes next to me BLEATING on about it for the first 5 minutes of the match.

On second thoughts maybe we should leave it, as at least it delays their exasperated moaning about whoever the chosen scapegoat is (Danny Holla on Tuesday night...).
