They all get on my nerves.

With regards to Saturday just gone, every time I have been to Wembley I've thought the sound system has been absolutely awful!

The guy at Warrington was so embarrassing when announcing the Samoa and Fiji teams, obviously didn't know who they were and didn't do any homework on the pronuciations beforehand.

The Warrington bloke is annoying. I think it was him who used to announce Graham Appo like a right nob back in the day. Used to drive me insane!!

Pete Emmet at Halifax IMO is a great pa announcer. really funny and you can understand him which always helps.

Got to agree. Its also the worst stadium I have ever been to for concerts. The sound gets lost.

Most of these announcers usually come from the 'local radio DJ' mould - a species of human that can only ever speak in hyperbole.

Having listened to Radio Aire, we could do a hell of a lot worse.

Better than Wakey's fella.

We don't have one anymore. Mick Carter

has sold him.

Do you write for the Daily Mail? By the way, "world at their oyster" is a bad entanglement of two sayings, so you may have a point on the pollution of the English language...


The PA announcer is very bloody annoying. Problem is that, these days, it's those types that get the job. Wacky funsters that all the family can enjoy. Apparently.

For any one who has seen Phoenix nights the PA announcer reminds me of Ray Von

Shabba!
