Default Re: Points lost during Match day announcements- 4

when the ball went dead for the corner the announcement in welsh started. then 138notout? started in English. there was ample opportunity to pause.
If we talk about marginal gains that was one for Orient as anyone Wrexham related was waiting for the announcement.
Its not the first time as has been pointed out, IIRC the same happened versus Woking but it was cleared off the line.

I said at the time the announcement distracted the players and spectators. I spoke to a couple of other people after the game who had the same observation. The Wrexham players seemed to switch off. I’m English but think the English/Welsh announcements are great. A huge part of the clubs identify is Wales and it should be encouraged. Let’s just limit announcements to open play or better at the end of the game. However I still can’t believe we let a player of Mark Ellis experience go unmarked.

Is that fool sitting in his little box waiting for the most delicate moment to boom out total and completely unnecessary shxxte at maximum decibels?

It's insane!

Sums up the naivety of those running the club.

Imagine I'm enjoying a passionate evening in a remote hotel and the magic moment is approaching when the concierge bursts in to ask if I'm enjoying myself?




You mean the concierge would put you off that much, another person come's into the room and scores with your partner

I have to say I agree that this is a potential distraction, albeit a well-meaning one, and needs noting for future. Booming out a "man of the match" announcement just as our players are defending a set piece with 4 mins to go just isn't common sense.

In this league teams will try anything to get a little advantage and we need to get streetwise too. Away at Boreham Wood I noted that our "hosts" didn't announce our substitutions or goal, but hooted loudly about their own subs/raffle/car park violations during play.

I'm not saying we should stop announcing opposition subs etc, but we could save attendance and MoM announcements til the exact moment the oppo keeper tries to get his gloves on an 89th-minute inswinging corner. When we're defending, put the mic down!

Yes, all about being 'clicky' and nothing to do with the fact it's our national language.

Anyone who can't cope with bilingual announcements must have limited brain cells.

Youve made yourself sound like a complete “Belter” there to be fair la.
