Tannoy Man
 

Who's the new guy? permanent or just standing in?
Thought he did a good job, very informative and crystal clear

Re: Tannoy Man
 

John - the usual Tanoy Man - was at the game today and just said he's been told he'd been sacked but hadn't been given a reason why. I think todays voice on the tanoy belonged to some bloke from 2BR

Re: Tannoy Man
 

well it sounded like Ricky Kirby from 2BR but somebody else said it was a guy from Radio Lancs. Judging by the way he announced the Burnley half-time (losing 2-0) three times, I would hazard a guess it wasn't the 2BR guy.

Re: Tannoy Man
 

OK, thanks.

Re: Tannoy Man
 

The tannoy didn't seem to be working on the Whinney Hill terrace. Not at the top end anyway.

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Nice enough chap.........Sounded clear as a bell.

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Its 2BR and permanant and John has had his chips.... John did it for what 3 years? out of the goodness of his heart so to speak....all the best to john who will probably always be known as tannoy man when ya pass him at stanley :).... 2br will be doing it all games now As far as I know

Re: Tannoy Man
 

is he not going to play cart on stanley ?

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Well I hope he's left on good terms and thanks for doing it in the 1st place

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Seems like a nasty trick. To wait for the bloke to turn up for his 'shift' and then tell him he's surplus to requirements.

It would be nice if the Club acknowledged the Gentleman’s contribution, maybe a piece on the fishy site or a corner of a page in the Programme. We need to recognise those that contribute their time freely to the club, even those in paid positions should have a mention when they move on to other things.

All the best Tannoy Man, thanks for the entertainment. Cart on. :)

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Ricky Kirby is actually a Leicester City fan :D

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Do not know who was responsible but the announcement of Paul Mullin's second "equalising" goal just before half time against MK Dons is one memory I treasure.

It baffled the bloke next to me and got a mention in the MK Dons fans report.

I also liked the half time explanation.

Hopefully a regular favourite of mine the announcement of sponsored "stoppage time" at the end of each half remains unaffected. It led one away fan to ask "Is it sponsored by the minute?"

Re: Tannoy Man
 

Better than actually being a Burnley fan :D

Now now Doug, don't let your jealousy detract from the thread :D
