Why do football tannoy announcers never read out registration numbers anymore and ask owners to move their cars? When did they stop?

When you say Tannoy do you mean "public address system". Tannoy is a brand name. Why are you all starring at me? I’m not having a go at anyone.

If you must write prose and poems, the words you use should be your own
Don't plagiarise or take on loan
'Cause there's always someone, somewhere with a big nose, who knows...

“Your wife has just given birth”

“Can all police and stewards please go to phase 5?”

Used to be a match day raffle as well for a while that quietly disappeared

I thought this the other day. I'm guessing because everyone has a mobile now so if owt needs moving they can run plates and hunt down the phone numbers of the vehicle owners?

"Could Dr. White please go to the dressing room"

Allegedly heard at BDTBL in the 70s, Dr. Whites was a brand of sanitary pad at the time...

Why do they read out the teams from lowest number to highest, radio Sheffield do it too, read the players out as they line up I.e. 433 etc

Have you noticed Mr Meadows hasn’t been to zone 2 for a bit

 

[Zipwire]

I think that the Lane atmosphere before kick off would be a lot better if we played United by Judas Priest at full whack just before kick off.

Strong, powerful lyrics and it would create an intimidating atmosphere.

I think Annie’s Song is tired and has its day now.

Aye
Although Satdi’s selection / performance(s) would challenge Einstein to identify the “line up” / positions

Believe me the weed smell in zone 2 is strong as ever...

It died a death when they realised “NE14 ABJ” wasn’t actually a car owned by someone who couldn’t park.

 

[Ralph Blade]

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

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

Just my opinion and probably late to the party as first home game since December but I found todays ‘mix’ of old favourites didn’t make the impact it should, maybe it’s the announcer as well. Not against the idea, just thought the mixing wasn’t very good. Should play it earlier and go back to what worked nicely. On the other hand I like the video montage of classic goals.

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

Does Sinclair know its not his show ?

[Varkanoid]

He is still recovering from illness isn't he? It's his stand in running the show last umpteen matches

His stand in sounds about 12 and probably used to watch Blue Peter and play with meccano.

His choice of songs before Leeds kick off was awful
