In the interests of all footy fans:
Can somebody please tell that bloke on the PA at TEAC Oval to SHUT UP!!!
If you're there with a group of people standing in front of the grandstand with a speaker blaring away it makes it hard to have a conversation. Especially when all he's doing is reading out the names of the bloody goal umpires, waffling about where you can buy food (as if you can't read the signs) or telling people to close a few gates.
I don't think I'm the only one who finds it annoying either.
agreed!
couldn't agree more....although yesterday he would have had trouble being louder than this really weird Werribee supporter sitting right on the fence next to the Werribee race.....this guy had an unbelievably loud,high pitched voice...I was waiting for his voice to break...
even the announcer was drowned out by this guy
Surely everyone knows where the famous Burra Burgers are by now. :P

We are not in a school classroom.
Although I don't think he has done it during the finals.. he has a habit of leaving the microphone on after making a statement.. so you can hear him having a conversation with someone else in the room. Very frustrating!
I'd say he's one of your Port people onslaught. Maybe he's deliberately repetitive for the old ladies who sit on the fence and might miss his first comment cos their hearing aids aren't turned on properly?
I am one of 'THOSE OLD LADIES" ON THE FENCE and I can assure you that none of us have hearing aids. We choose not to listen to any useless information that doesn't concern us. Maybe you should do the same??????
Lucky you are not an umpire, footyman, or you'd really be copping it. :wink:
hahaha.
My jaw dropped reading that faithfulburra post but at least my choppers didn't fall out.
Port must change the current system to a "push-to-talk" one. Too often, the microphone is left turned on, with spectators having to put up with people talking in the background, or the announcers radio left on in the background.
I thought him using the microphone when David Pitt took the mark for his kick at goal, saying it was his hundredth game, wasn't needed, as he had already mentioned the fact as he entered the ground about 5 minutes earlier.
