oafcprozac Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 During half time Latics fan and hudds fan taking part in half time entertainment, PA guy with the microphone sneers at our three sided ground, the size of our away following, the latic's fan's appearance then asks him twice that 'your manager Paul Dickov is not a full shilling is he?' thought he was being incredibly insulting and disrespectful to our manager and it should be taken further everyone in the ground heard it!!!!!

rosa Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Classy. If only we had a really intelligent manager and really attractive fans like they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 He makes jokes at the expense of the away team every week. Most sides just lap it up and take it in the spirit it's meant in. Of course we've had a couple of oversensitive souls from other clubs complain, but that's life. If you honestly want to take it further, I'd give your head a shake before doing so.

JonesyOAFC Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 So we can now add 'PA announcer's having a bit of fun at other club's expense' to the list of things people on here don't like at football matches? Don't be so precious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair We have a 3 sided ground, it was a poor turnout and the lad he was taking the Mick out of was wearing a t shirt in minus temperatures.

rosa Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Didn't go to the game so don't know what exactly was said, but from what Prozac's said it does sound like the PA was an unfunny WUM. "Your ground's crap! And your manager's mental! And your support's :censored:!" Wouldn't bother putting in a complaint but it's a bit pathetic. If you're gonna take the piss out of the opposition at least put a bit of wit and effort into it, like when we played I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester the first time Yeovil came to BP, or when we played the tune from Steptoe and Son after beating Ronnie Moore's Tranmere to go top of the league.

Stevie_J Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Whilst I'm not suggesting making a big fuss about it at all, there's a lot to be said for showing a bit of respect for your guests. It just reflects badly on Hudds, IMO. It's :censored: 'banter' and I wouldn't be impressed if Latics behaved like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 subtle humor vs blatant humor, otherwise known as British humor vs American humor does anyone know what he actually said? Word for word as per original post. Fair enough if others were not offended but there were a fair few on our coach who felt the same as me. I still think it was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful AND he took the piss out of the Latics fan's appearance too (the lad competing at HT). I know plenty on here would have simply butted the jumped up :censored:! In reality as he pushed further and further all I could think of was the Gun Fights in Phoenix Nights, when the Yorkshire Duelists are pushed further and further by Jerry….

oafcprozac Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 He wouldn't last long with Alan Hardy. Sacked the PA announcer a few years ago for making a joke about someone coming from Dukinfield. Chris Henthorne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was 600ish under Penney (midweek) and 1100ish last season. Both numbers from memory. 150% increase in away support over 2 seasons. Superb!
