when the teams come out.why does the man on the mike try to read out the team sheet as fast as the world record words in a minute record holder?
he has plenty of time but just jibbers a load of bollocks that nobody can understand.the pa system is shit enough as it is. you do realise that the teams are displayed on the scoreboard almost constantly before kick-off, yeah? yes.but thats irrelivant isn't it? the bloke jibbers for no reason erm i've no idea what you point is then. |

Maybe you should write to the club and he requests he read the oppositions teamsheet slower? Having said that though, Hartlepool away last season.. Their announcer took a fucking age to read both teams, there was about a 5 second gap between the number and the player. |

Gary reads the away team at that speed on purpose!
It's his way of winding up the away fans. Give our lads the respect they deserve by introducing them properly whilst flying thro the opposition.

Welcome to Swindon. Have a shit day out.
It's childish and sad.
Can I also point out that, quite bizarrely, some Swindon fans may also have a modicum of interest in who's playing.

I agree with Christy, I also hate the fact he doesn't say good afternoon to the away fans when he goes around the other 3 sides of the ground pre kick off.
He should start off by saying good afternoon to the away fans then do his usual Arkells, South and Town End stuff.

Can I also point out that, quite bizarrely, some Swindon fans may also have a modicum of interest in who's playing. To be honest ive never had ANY trouble in hearing any of the announcements, even when if it is read out fast. And several clubs across the country put lots of emphasis on the home teams sheet, and get through the away teams quickly because the home fans dont care...its very much a panto feature. And to be honest, if you are going to base one of the features of having a good football day out on the speed, audio quality of the team sheet reading out before the match, maybe you should concentrate on the match a bit more? Yesterday i would have been happy with a 0-0...i thought the peformance was fantastic, then even going 1-0 down, the way the fans got behind the players was the best ive seen all this season (as a season ticket holder and after going to over half towns away games this year). So, is the HUGE event of reading the teamsheet really that important to you Christy?? |

Swindonbob, I'm up for a bit of panto as much as the next half witted cross-dressed man. The teamsheet reading really isn't a H U G E event for me.
It is though another minor opportunity (like opening the superstore beyond 2.45pm, like getting a coffee in less than 20 minutes etc etc) to improve the matchday experience, tossy as that sounds. Get the small things right and you're halfway there.
Of course that's all secondary to what happens on the pitch. A successful team will drag the punters back, and that can also be achieved with a less successful team given some new ideas and creative thinking. Interesting times ahead, I hope.

Why open the shop after 2.45pm on a matchday? The staff should be able to go and take their seats at that time. If supporters cannot be arsed to get themselves to the shop by then, then tough. Why should the people who work for the club miss out on the match due to your bad time keeping?
