Why is Gary Moran announcing? It's awful as he really shouts! The guy last year is a million times better IMHO.

Presumably Stef will return at some point? I don't know why Ken can't be allowed to do it all in his absence though, listening to Gary scream his way through 8 thousand adverts is too much (in fact, Gary seems to have taken Ken's usual role too, even though he appears to still be there).

It was awful, he can announce the team but that's it. Every stoppage was met with an advertisement. Hated it

The bit that made me cringe was when Francis scored and he paused for the crowd to shout Francis's name out no less than 4 times. Once is understandable but 4 times?  We were halfway through the next shift when he finally shut up |

Bloody awful is one word for it, I hope to god we don't have him all season, I thought Simms was bad but GM is twice as bad, so sarcastic aswell but then again its the same on the dvd commentarys. Come back soon Ken.

I hate the Covnetry announcing coz every statement is followed up by "...sponsored by..."
That's what GM was doing this weekend. Eurgh.

Is he dj as well? Started with some good rock tunes tbf, then went back to the usual guff.
Yep, needs to stop shouting, you not have to shout if ou have a mic.
I would prefer someone with a quick wit, rip it out of the opposition a bit

I do not wish to hear the words "sponsored by" ever again !
This weekends match night presentation and announcing was utterly abysmal.

Best thing he did was after one of our players got called offside despite not having left the bench yet.
"Panthers visors are sponsored by i-optics".

We need changes throughout. The whole announcing is stale and repetitive and totally grates. Please, please just put a bit of variety in instead of saying the same things at the same time EVERY game!

He really loves the sound of his own voice does'nt he? I noticed how he kept mentioning the 50/50 tickets for sale and was proud of the cash prize total, more money for the coffers. No need for the sarcastic remarks and tone of voice, the other guy (Stef?) is much more professional. I noticed a few of the players wincing with embarressment when he started  |

At least tonight we had some new more up to date music (well during the second period at least)
Makes me realise how good Stef is at announcing goals and penalties, I hope we'll see him back soon.

Its even easy to have your say now than it was before. They may not respond to it but comments made will, unless deleted, be visible on one of their 'store fronts'. |

It did make you realise how very, very good Stef is.
The salient points of the penalty announcements are offending team, player number, name, category of penalty, name of penalty and time of penalty.
Stef always does them the same, in that order, as it should be. No bias or intonation other than what it is. Information to the game's attendees.
GM was doing the order randomly, it seemed, and it was just plain confusing. Must've been hell trying to fill in a programme.
And you always announce the visting team penalties first if there are penalties to each side. Stef can cope with that simple rule. GM seemingly can't.
He probably shouldn't give up the day job.

It was my first game this season and I have to say it put a slight dampener on the game for me, he really doesn't have the right voice for that job. To be fair to him he is probably taking one for the team as the usual guy is unavailable but they need to find someone else. His voice is too common and last night did not sound professional at all. There were times when he clearly hadn't thought through what he was going to say and had to paused and times when he had to stop ask the person next to him then continued. I've never done the job but I know for sure I would know what I was saying before picking up the mic.

Cheesy, Embarrassing, Horribly corporate and spine tingling awful. A bit like a cross between a bad school disco, a child's party, a Newcastle away game, A boxing match, A marketing conference and a very bad school disco. Awful decision, thankfully I've been going 18 years and know what to expect but if I was a newbie I would thought it as a man ego-trip and advertising seminar.
Ken/Stef, are you out there, please report in?
