[Tannoy Man]

Aw shucks - thanks for the comments folks!!!!

Let me put the record straight to avoid any confusion.

On Thursday morning I received an e-mail from Rob Heys, saying: " We have been offered a deal with 2BR which would generate publicity for us on the air together with a payment to the club, however they have asked if they can run the PA announcements on a match day."

He asked me if I was OK with this, and thanked me for my services. The club have very kindly given me a season ticket for the rest of this campaign, and although I would have loved to carry on, it is in the best interest of the club that they gain this extra revenue, and radio publicity.

I have enjoyed the last 3 years immensly, met a lot of nice people, and made many friends - but nothing is for ever. I have had a lot of fun, and wish I had a recording of my many gaffs!!!!

I thought the new guy was brilliant, and his immense radio experience will improve the PA announcements on match days.

The comment about me having to pay the admission fee whilst being the announcer is obviously not the case, and the club have done nothing that I could complain about.

I will still see many of you on match days, and on poker nights, and thank you all once again for your kind comments.

This is The Tannoy Man's last message, and I will never come in your ears again!!!!
