New Stadium Announcer?
Did anyone else notice a change in the man behind the mike at the Glasgow game?
Have to say, much better than the previous clown. Clear, confident voice......

Re: New Stadium Announcer?
Was initially impressed with the fact that he was clearer but the very least I expect from an announcer is that they are able to pronounce the names of our players. It's embarrassing when visiting players names are pronounced incorrectly but unforgivable when it's our own that are pronounced wrong.dingoxh wrote:Did anyone else notice a change in the man behind the mike at the Glasgow game?

When Leo Auva'a' starting playing for us I asked him for the correct pronounciation of his name and he was delighted that someone had thought to ask rather than assuming they knew what to say. Can't imagine it would be taken the wrong way if our announcer were to ask for a phonetic guide to players names. FFS, even John Cooney's name was pronounced wrong.
Also, each name was pronounced with that dreadful rising inflection which makes everything sound like a question.
Well, you did ask!!

Which of the many versions that we hear is actually the correct one out of curiosity?Xanthippe wrote:

Well, I am a long time reader of the site but a rare poster... you can sleep easy, I am not the new man with the mike!
Also, I am just realising that I posted this thread in the wrong sub-section! HOw do I go about getting it moved to the correct area?

After about 10 minutes I could not hear a word he said in the south stand.It was like the sound system had just given up the ghost so no idea if he was any good or not
Re: New Stadium Announcer?
