Pitchside announcer

This whole thread just goes to show you cannot please all the people, I will nail my colours to the mast here, I am have known BDL as a good friend that pre-dates our involvement with CAFC, so I may be a little biased, but I would say he is the best man for the job, he cares passionately for the club and takes great pride in what he does, rightly so, I thought Brian Cole was good as well, the one inbetween I was not impressed with, for my money your pitch side announcer has to be passionate, and at times the Valley does need a little encouragement, I just wish he would tune the volume down when we are going through the teams on commentary.0

Hey Offy.0

I don't think theres anything wrong with the volume or the announcer.
However, I must add something regarding the match-day playlist. Nothing quite infuriates me to the same level when a certain piece of music is played at full-time.
The national anthem of Wigan Athletic, that we are so much better than. There doesn't need to be music at full time when we've won, but if for some people there has to be, it certainly doesn't need to be this pile of shite...

I like BDL I liked Brian Cole. Pete from Warrington made me feel like i'd entered the knobbly knees competition at a Holiday Camp.
I'd just like to hear Red, Red, Robin which BDL says we will when he gets his CD back.
Sorry for the notification Offy!0 -

I think this thread shouldn't close but should be more or a 'question for off it' thread,
Off it - do you secretly want to take over the position of pitch side announcer?0 -
I'm sorry that you feel that way. But time constraints and everything else I do up there does not allow for every bit of information going.redlanered said:BDL is rightly held in high regard here - one season of rent-a-mike in 2007 surely convinced any doubters.
but the guy who does the half-times does not impress. Seems unsure of teams/scores (it's never 'Notts' Forest) and never adds anything of interest (eg wouldn't mention it if one of our lads out on loan has scored). How did he get the gig?0 -

and apologies for getting personal, everyone's doing their best, i know. I guess it must be tricky to gather info while trying to watch the match...maybe the board can get you an assistant:-)

BDL does a great job-no complaints at all!0

Why did the other guy get the boot? I see him all the time in the east stand...0

BDL does a great job in my view, even seems like a nice bloke too. Proper fan and gives up loads if his spare time for CAFC. We need to be careful when commenting I think or we'll end up with no one wanting to do this sort of thing or voluntary stuff for the club and wider Addicks community.0
-
Wider addicks community? What book have you swallowed?0
-
he does stuff for NWK Addicks, so I think that applies0

When it comes to evaluating the work of people involved with Charlton over last 7 years, I would imagine the BDL would come fairly low on the list of people that need criticising.0

I don't appreciate being shouted at and told to "get behind the boys and make some noise", but it's a minor point. What gets me is the loudness of the music before the game, at half-time and after: it's difficult to hear your mates speak. I'm against anything that obliterates the 'natural' sounds of the crowd. If memory serves me, the prelude to the Hartlepool match at the end of our promotion season was music-free - apart from the opera singers, of course. It was a canny bit of crowd psychology, leaving us to generate our own atmosphere, the buzz increasing in intensity as kick-off approached...0

Exactly. And I enjoy reading your suggestions.seth plum said:AFKA, I don't think a lot of criticism/feedback is because people think they can do better, but rather they want the experience to BE better. Criticism with no suggestions may fit your description, but if there is some kind of pointer as to how, possibly, things could be better isn't that OK?
For example if folk say they don't like goal music (which we don't do), but would prefer organic crowd reaction, it isn't a sneaky way of trying to become the DJ, but pretty valid feedback/criticism I reckon.

Presume you mean Brian Cole ? Why not ask him - he posts on here and is an ultra loyal Addick.MSE7 said:Why did the other guy get the boot? I see him all the time in the east stand...
As razil stated, BDL is MC for all NWKA's Q & A events , currently holds a post on the current committee ( regardless of how busy he is and believe me he IS a busy BDL ! ) and is a former Chair of the SG.
Without Dave, NWKA and our Club would be sadder places.
