Does anybody else think that the idiot who announces the teams on to the pitch should be made redundant, it sounds so bloody amateurish when he screams at the top of his voice

Don't even know what he sounds like, very rarely see kick off, and always outside/on concourse during half time.
is it the same bloke we've had for years or has he changed in the last 5/6 years?

Irrespective of how good or bad he is, I think you should go and check out labour law before you go advocating for people to be made redundant. Unless there is no further need for the position the man occupies, he cannot be made redundant. (A lot of organizations do get round this however). I think you would like him to be sacked, which is a different kettle of fish and would be difficult to achieve just because you (and maybe some others) don't like his presentation methods. Maybe you could start a petition if you feel so strongly and ask he is re-deployed elsewhere in the club.

Why do we have 2 announcers on the pitch? The one who tells us all that the team are coming and then someone else who tells us the match is about to start.

As you travel around to various clubs watching Stoke you hear far, far worse stadium announcers than ours.
He's quite decent compared to most.

They really need to turn the volume down just before kick-off...maybe its just the south stand, or I am getting old but it was headsplittingly loud last week

It's not a feckin rock concert for christ's sake! As I remember, there was discussion about it being turned off for 10 minutes or so before kick off to allow the atmosphere to build but based on a single experiment they ditched the idea and went back to splitting everyone's eardrums. And as for the jerk with the microphone??? I've always found him annoying but the final straw for me was when he introduced former Stoke stalwart, Eric Skeels as Eric Sykes!!!! |

The 'Mighty, mighty Potters' thing does grate a little bit but not as much as the frequent music changes as the players come out.
I'd like to see us go from the Eminem backing track into a full length Delilah and drop 'We'll be with you' which for me just doesn't do it.
I loved our second season intro when we showed Season 1 goals on the big screen to Foo Fighters, The Pretender.
In fact I yearn for that pre-match buzz again, full stop...

Yeah there are two.  The one on the right has done it ever since the stadium has been built really. The one on the left has only been here for 3 years. Guy on the right is alot better IMO. |

The pre game build up is a shambles this season Wrong music agreed but would never drop "We'll be with you" ever. Emenem is Ok and does give a build up feeling but change the record and most of all get the Flag/Banner Back. I could time my watch by that |

Guy on the right is alot better IMO. actually, the guy on the left has been at stoke longer, he's the one who reads out the teams. he used to do it at the victoria ground. i know this because i went to an open day in the 90's where you could go in the police box and he would let you shout 'gooarrnn stoke' down the mic to everyone in the ground. it wore a bit thin after after the 700th kid had done it ;D steve buxton is the one who shouts the cringey stuff. like jamo says though, there are much worse around the country. |
