At a Sussex v Lancashire match in the late 70s, my dad was asked by a Sussex supporter which Lloyd was which because he couldn't tell David and Clive apart. My dad said that Clive was the one in the glasses ..

You should send that story to Sky to pass on to Bumble as he might enjoy it.

Nick Osbourne was good. Sadly missed IMHO. Hard act to follow.

Why did he pack it in?

Baby on way, work commitments ect. Wants to try and catch a few matches from the stands instead of watching on a screen. Real Albion mad.

Fair play.

I say give Warren Aspinall the gig.

The new guy just isn't as good as Nick. From the West Stand Upper I find it very hard to understand what he is saying. Not sure if either he hasn't got the right voice for it, you need the right tone and inflection to be heard clearly, or he just holds the microphone too close to his mouth when he speaks!

 

[The Oldman]

Credit to the club. PA much improved in WSL. Not too loud and I could understand what was being said

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Seconded. Cracking entertainment value when reading out the names

The PA system at Withdean was terrible only eclipsed by the system at the Amex don't think it would matter who the announcer is its will still be inaudible it's not the volume it's the clarity works ok for music but not the spoken word

Really depends where you sit. It's a fantastically clear system from my seat in WSU...

That sounded like Richie Reynolds doing the announcing today. I could understand what he was saying unlike that other bloke.

Was fine in WSL today

 

[sydney]

And then can he sellotape his hands behind his back and spare us more posts?

how can you possibly sellotape your hands behind your own back....?? unless you were a contortionist and could throw your arms about like a skipping rope , in which case you'd be able to get out of your self inflicted situation........silly thing to say...

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Did I imagine it or was the result announced as 'Brighton 2 Barnet 0' at the end of the game yesterday?

 

[Bigtomfu]

Barber has openly acknowledged they are having issues with the PA which are being looked into.

RR was pitch side the new chappie was doing the PA and sounded much better than previous weeks.
