Half Time 'Entertainment'

I remember going to 'The Ricoh' the first season Coventry moved from Highfield Road, their pitch announcer looked like he had one of the 'Kerb crawlers old Wembley suits on!'.

Or how about they just shut the fuck up and let people chat to others they only see on match days?

Yeah!! Let’s have it completely silent & devoid of any entertainment whatsoever so you can chat.... That’d help the atmosphere no end.

What about some light classical accompaniment? Radio 3 perhaps?
No? Just the deafening sound of silence?
Nice.

Who the fuck’s Gary Fucking Armstrong?

And that was my original point - better to have something else that entertains properly rather than shit tunes from him or anyone else.
Your option was to just have silence - that would not make it better, in my opinion.

After ;listening to the "away" announcers over the years, I can confirm that Gary Sinclair is miles better than the vast majority of them. I think the only decent one was at Old Trafford, in the cup game.

i agree with that i would throw in the guy at anfield who been there a few decades as well. without blowing smoke up the arse always shows the difference when we go to wembley i feel because the opposition have their guy & gary comes out you can tell difference

True. The days of 'half time entertainment' have had their day. As somebody has said, in the 70s they used to drive (crap) cars round the pitch. We've had penalty 'competitions' with young kids - of no interest to anybody but the parents.

Why don't they use the big screen to show highlights/incidents from the first half? Highlights from recent away games such as Villa? It's only to fill 10-15 minutes so no need for endless announcements and over-loud muzak.
 
Wasn't the announcement for MOM so drawn out, the ref blew the whistle for FT before the 2nd joint winner was revealed?

Is anyone inspired to create a better atmosphere by a bloke playing songs at HT when most of them are in the bogs/queuing for a pint?
 
That song was completely embarrassing, and I’m sure he played it bloody twice.
What happened to the big Blades superdraw prizes? Used to have a £5k prize winner over Christmas. I was hoping it was my turn this year.

Winner got £5k yesterday, he was in the ground, apparently.
 



That fucking song, I was fully expecting Gary Sinclair to start doing the Dad dance to it. At times its fucking cringeworthy being a Blade by playing shit like that yesterday. All I could think of was Beavis and Butthead saying "this sucks". I'm not looking forward to the Pork game in January and this is just giving them much needed piss take ammunition if they win.

Don't have any issues as such with GS apart from him occasionally appearing to act above his station.

Did wonder yesterday though why he built up his announcement of the crowd figure in light of our opponents.

Yeah it was a good crowd for us but considering their crowd figures of recent times it was always going to get ironic cheers from the away end.

Maybe it's just me but I'd have read it out quite blase.

I agree. I hate it when he puts on the “incredulous” voice while announcing we’ve got xx crowd figure that everybody was expecting anyway.

He’s been doing it since the Third Dividion days when we were getting, wait for it, 16000!

He should be more like “Yeah. 30,000+. No biggie. What were you away fans expecting? We’re Sheffield United.”

Rubbish for a big Boxing Day crowd.

I remember the days when they used to parade cars round the pitch from Towngate Motors (tip-toe, down to Towngate....) at half time.

Now THAT was entertainment - watching cars drive very slowly indeed.....
Even that though was better than that flaming song they played twice (twice?!?!) yesterday.

We can do better than that. How about we share some more ideas on here.....
- Musical pitch watering fountains?
- A huge ‘pin the tail on the pig’?
- Sing-a-long-a-Def-Leppard?
- Bingo?

Did he? I missed that....must have still been cringing at that godaweful song

He wasn't. There was a dog sitting in his seat. Apparently the stewards had searched it, took a tin of butchers tripe off it but let it in anyway.
I think the Chinese are ready to take over.

Gary Sinclair doing his best David Brent impression by playing that awful Bouncing Day song and describing it as 'Genius' as he, and he alone, is the only one in the ground who finds it humorous.

Cringin'ell fire.

Please make it stop.

My wife is a middle aged mum but she would rather eat her own shit while inserting hot pins in her eyes than watch that infected bowel discharge.

I'm not convinced that any one watches it.

I thought Duffy wasn't even one of the nominees but got joint MOM. Bizarre
