Stadium Announcer.

Nobody has been able to get anywhere near replicating what he did. Will be missed.

RIP Brad, 97 was when I started going so he's been my voice of Leicester. 

Whoever they had on Sunday is an improvement on last season.

I might be wrong but for the majority of first team fixtures at Filbert Street you would have had Mel Pace ("Hello everyone..."). Brad did reserve games and was back up for Mel until the move to Filbert Way where he got the full time gig.

I'm sure there used to be somebody else like Mel who did the announcements, attendance etc at King Power until relatively recently.

Credit where it's due, this is a lovely touch.

Glad he was acknowledged today, I wasn't sure if anything was being done.

Was a lovely touch. Was nice that the Birmingham fans joined in. Players were doing it too.

Any photos of the banner for him from UFS?

Quality from the club, was it a different stadium announcer last night from the one who replaced Brad?

He sounded a lot more natural than the person who replaced Brad

Given the fact the squad has hardly changed since his last game, with the advent of AI they could have put together him reading out the starting 11 last night. Might have been weird, but different!

I went to a sporting dinner recently hosted by Ben Kay and had the pleasure to sit next to Mel at dinner. We talked a lot about his time as an announcer at Filbo but I was surprised he was not massively into football and actually more of an egg chaser. Lovely bloke. 

I can assure you he absolutely loves football! It's on all of the time in the house!
