He's doing presumably what the club want him to do. Must be one of the least thankful tasks around, trying to create a good buzz around a stadium occupied by 5000 depressed and apprehensive lambs simply awaiting the next slaughter.

If they were to get rid of anything then it should be the absurd playing of jolly singalong music when we score to make it 4 - 50

Has anyone noticed that Alex is talking normally, then ever so quitely he'll say something like "Hail Satan, kill all who stand in your way"? And then on the way home you find yourself attacking a stranger and coming to in a terrified haze, blood dripping across your face?

My avatar is a picture Mrs Aardvark took of a white T-shirt of mine. I couldn't explain the stains but now it all makes sense.

Oh, I thought it was a sign of an eternal optimist and we're just going through a bad period...



I'll get me coat.

He sounds amateur. He sounds like a very bad DJ or one of those people who run the Waltzers. There must be hundreds who could do a better job.

I'm assuming he's cheap. Or maybe our london owner thought he was the sort of announcer we were all used to, app knowf...

That must be where he is going wrong then. He should be shouting "Scream and we'll play better. Shabba"

That's practically what he does with his "Come on Bulls" randomly shouted at odd moments.

He's writing cheques his talent can't cash I'm afraid.

I think you are all bullies,leave the poor man alone

I've started arriving later so I don't have to listen for longer than necessary Roger, so I'm, sort of, trying to leave him alone..

Maybe the players think the same,bum bum

<Tentatively raises hand.>

I quite like him.

Out.

He may well be a really lovely fella...he just needs to find his niche in life.

Me too. Does this make me a bad person ?

Yes.

I quite like him as well. I was a bit miffed at first to find out Steve Bailey had lost the job he was a good guy.

Alex winds up the away support too which is good. He could be a cult hero in the end.

No, just misguided..

As I've already psychologically drifted away as a way to protect my brain from the horror, and barely ever attend, just waking up each morning trying to tell myself that I aren't beginning to think about watching Castleford which is a lot closer to my house, sometimes finding myself looking through the Cas shop window in the Lanes, then I don't actually know who Alex Simmons is.

Actually, he'd probably very good at hosting a karoake competition, in fact he'd be very good at hosting anything that I wouldn't want to be within 100 miles of...

I've never liked the bloke with the mic being the cheerleader,
during the game, at any ground.

It could be anyone on the PA system, I can't usually understand what they're saying anyway.

This.
