General Mt Smart Ground Announcer Thread

[Playdaball]

Does anyone know if our friend the Mexican Wave inducing, inappropriate timed, off-key, contrived chanter was present at the ChCh game tonight?

Good point .
That guy is from CH CH so you would think he would have been there , if still employed.

Generally ground announcers are pretty useless - they play crap music like Bruno Mars and six60 all game long. Its clearly evident at the cricket which I sadly don't go to anymore because you cannot just press the mute button when the Ground DJ plays another Bruno Mars or six60 song for the millionth time. At least watching at home the mute button works!

Yep I’ve ditched nz cricket live games. They’re horrible these days. Ever since tvnz got the contract it’s been downhill coverage too. That’s a different thread though lol

Tragic Was our new favourite ground announcer there, and the crowd just ignored him/he keep his mouth shut, or was he not there at all?

I was there and if it was him, then he's been given the word. He was unobtrusive. Said a wee bit here and there, but none of the cringe-inducing attempts at chant-starting. The crowd brought it 'organically', and it was miles better.
That said, the speakers were probably a bit too quiet, so the playlist wasn't audible.

Maybe someone unplugged his mic

I hope they paid the unplugger very well.

Didn't seem an issue this week. Someone's obviously had a word. He kept referring to someone called 'Shaunny J' - bro, you ain't making that a thing - but was otherwise composed enough, I reckon.

Shaunny J???

 

[El Chuckie]

Shaunny J???

I know. He's new to the game so doesn't really know that 'SJ' is the accepted short form of the noun...

Credit where credit is due. The grounds announcer was great this week, it seems the message has been given and received. He was informative when he needed to be and shut up when he needed to. No cringe inducing chant attempts or Mexican wave initiations. Our group of members were very relieved.

The Warriors obviously do listen to what the fans say , as the ground announcer was better this week.
I do agree with the previous comment around ,’ Shauny J’ … we were taking the piss over that .
