Why did they get rid of the old guy?  

If you upset the most powerful man at LCFC outside of the owner you are going to get moved on......

This is how it should be done...

 

"And here's your Leicester City line-up! (Oh, ****)

 

In goal... Mads Hermanssen (s'pose that's ok)

 

Your back line... (Ugh, no ...) Wout Faes (How'd he get in?) Conor Coady (can think of another C) Luke Thomas (useless waste of space) and James Justin (meh)..."

 

Etc.

Is the new bloke even a Leicester fan? He sounds like the most generic stadium announcer. Nowt about him.

 

A large part of me hates it but Man City have got a bloke that does theres and he adds a lot to their atmosphere.

 

I think the majority of Leicester fans celebrate a goal, sing Carnival de Paris and then sit on their arse. Announcer can do a job to prevent that.

Go on YouTube and type in Man City Stadium Announcer and you'll see what I mean. Basically kick starts their chants and the whole ground follows suit.

Don't know if he's still there but the stadium announcer at Anfield had the deepest voice I've ever heard. 

 

I always expected him to start off with, This the voice of the Mysterons...

He did sound different, a bit more enthusiastic, the bloke doing the Chelsea game sounded like he was reading the death notices.

I think we all did to be fair lol

No, he's not. He does boxing/combat sport announcing more often and is a journalist, too.

What happened to him?

If you listen to the podcast, Brad talks about how he took over the job from Mel in the 1990s at the Arsenal 3:3 with the Bergkamp hat-trick - crazy times

When I first started in football 10 years ago I got sick of crap stadium announcers so I started asking a travelling away junior and a junior home fan to read the teams out.

 

- Gives 40 junior fans and a parent / carer a season an experience they’ll never forget 

- Changes the perception of the club

- Creates Monday morning stories 

- Cost is absolutely £0

 

Sorry to go on about this stuff but it’s so overlooked. Millions of examples of this analogue and very easy fan engagement if the culture is right.

That would actually be a really good idea, I wonder if it's something @Union FS and @Foxes_Trust could lobby the club to get behind?

It’s a culture thing. We have the culture that would charge for this and want to make it elitist and commercialised.
 

You need a culture like Brentford to get these things going. Or individuals that “get it”. I mentioned loads of what we did on the BSLB podcast. Thomas Frank let us deliver a massive good luck post card from the family section at 2.50pm every week. Mind blowing for me let alone kids!

 

Cost - £10 a week.

Lifelong memories

Fans for life

 

We try and complicate things but honestly, the most simple of wins are free and have a massive impact.

 

I actually reached out to Imogen our Head of FE when she joined to help. She was also recommended to chat to me by a third party because of my club connections and experience but she blanked it all / felt threatened / it wasn’t selling widgets in Thailand.

I swear we used to do this, I have a memory of Birch walking around with a microphone and getting a random kid/old dear to read the teams out. 

 

Since he's got on, we've never brought someone else in to do that role, and seemed to have shifted to a corporate standing on everything

He is from Leicester though. 
 

I’m not a fan though. Seems very forced.
