Stadium announcers/Songs

[Birdwell Blade]

What’s with the extremely petty arguing on some of these threads? Can’t you just knock it on the head please?

 

[SteveBlade]

I can confirm that Gary Sinclair is responsible for the music however the bald man you see walking around with the mic and clipboard is actually just a lookalike who lip syncs a pre recorded audio whilst the real Gary Sinclair sits in the DJ booth and controls the music.

 

[mattbianco1]

I'd love us to walk out to Oasis - Bring it on Down...

What we really should walk out to though is Judas Priest - United

 

[mattbianco1]

Is he? He's the stadium announcer, not sure why you'd think he's responsible for choosing all the music that's played?

Gary Sinclair is most definitely in charge of the playlist at Bramall Lane.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Remember when Gary used to play his mates music at half time? Jon Reilly. Absolute shite.

Miss the days when he’d play the “hottest music” at halftime. “Curtsy of HMV, top dogs for music”.

Or, who can forget the theme from the professionals when we scored under Steve Bruce?

Or, who can forget him randomly playing La Bamba when Fjortoft scored against Ipswich?

Or, who can forget the 20 years we came out to Star Wars?


The man is synonymous with the match day atmosphere. I can’t listen to Loveparade, United, The kids are united, Sandstorm, Taking of Pelham, The opening theme of Star Wars etc. without being transported to emerging from the South Stand gangway, on a cold Tuesday nightmatch.

God bless you, fat controller.

 

[The Crab]

That 'Countdown to kick off' is tired now
Been the same for years
Bong bong bong bong bong etc
Shite

I like it

[S64 Blade]

When did Sinclair start? My first game was in 97, so there may have been someone else before him during my time. But, I can’t remember anything about them.

 

[coaxingstar71]

Meet Her At The Love Parade by Da Hool is an absolute BANGER that has become synonymous with a Bramall Lane pre match build up, I utterly love it.

It will be a sad, sad day when he stop playing it - long may it ring out at Beautiful Downtown Bramall Lane

I didn't even know it was called that, but I think it's an utter wank pile of shite. Tedious and annoying.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Another thing that’s mad. Sinclair’s matchday voice is nothing like his actual voice. He has a proper Sheffield accent behind the scenes.

 

[ancientblade]

the 2 pre match music intros should be united judas priest followed by da hool

Also, the rogue "I love U baby" by The Original when Borbokis scored in the play offs vs Sunderland

This thread so sums up this forum and, sadly, Blades fans as a whole since covid.

No it doesn't.

Was it covid that made us like this, or was it the vaccine?!

 

[Norwood's 6 iron]

He will be missing for the next couple of games, some fella from Sky is taking the Mike.
Will be interesting to see/hear a different announcer.

No he isn't.

Who the fuck are you calling petty !!!!!

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Off on a tangent but always ‘appreciated’ (the only thing about) Chelsea coming out to ‘The Liquidator’ (subsequently’stolen’ by Wolves & WBA) & Everton using ‘Z Cars’
Kudos to Aberdeen for ‘taking the water’ by using Housemartins “Sheep”

 

[Harry's Game]

People complaining about Sinclair need to remember what it’s like on those days when Sinclair is off and that ‘other bloke’ does the job, you know who I mean the one who sounds like he won a raffle to operate a P.A. System at football ground for a day..

….not only is he terrible he is an absolute Jonah .. I don’t think we have ever won a game when he has been doing the job.

 

[Snowflake]

Ilkley Moor - no contest - end of thread

..bit too close to Leeds ?

 

[Gin&Juice]

Think Wilder or who ever is in charge controls the entrance music. That’s why we had Heal the World by MJ during Adkins reign.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

..bit too close to Leeds ?

Aye
But if Leeds was located on Easter Island it’d be too fuckin close !

Yep , Toffees using Z Cars is admirable but I bet they drop it when they move to that space station - probably something from '2001 , A Space Odyssey' would be appropriate.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Makes you wonder......

 

[MobileBlade]

Got to be the low point for this forum. Arguing who presses play. Dear lord.

You mean you don't remember the 100 pager on cats?

 

[Rodders]

Erm no, it isn't. He's the stadium announcer so he's responsible for what comes out of his mouth.

The music and visuals for the screen are controlled by other people.

He (and others) most likely can have some input/suggest songs they'd like to be played at certain times, but it's not the Gary Sinclair show

Garyoke Jr used to press the buttons for a while, maybe he still does.

 

[Numpty's Dusty Ruts.]

The Z Cars theme is an old folk song called "Johnny Todd". I know this because my mum used to sing it, and I used to sing it at junior school in "singing", one of those weird lessons we had to endure in the dark ages (1960's Coal Aston!!).
I quite like it though!!

The best countdown to kick off was comeback kid by kasabian

 

[Tom Bott]

Rose Garden

Tie a Yellow Ribbon round your Rose Garden.

Faithless - I Can't Get No Sleep.

Best - end.

 

[Tom Bott]

Are they the reason that the pigeons have left ?
