I had thought that what Mr Nuttall says was scripted by Steve Sutherland, or someone in 'Communications', but I can't believe that anyone at CAFC would write 'East London'.
For all his 'shrink into the advertising hoardings' profile pitch-side, might as well have someone sitting with BDL to do the announcements - but does anyone listen to the endless ticket info anyway?!
He did say it - I heard it as I was taking my seat and actually thought I must have misheard. But many others heard it, too, so I'm not as deaf or daft as I first feared.
I suppose he was just trying to hype it up as a city derby (like Charlton v Shef U tomorrow is probably a 'titanic struggle between North and South' in some demented headline writer's brain). But it came across as utterly crass.
However, as I noted in another thread, perhaps this geographical realignment is a good thing. If we go down and Milwall come up, we won't have to call ourselves third in south London. We can be second in east London after WHU!
In the grand scheme of things it is not that important who does the pa job but after all the cutbacks the club has made on staff in the last two years surely this clown should be somewhere near the top of the list, especially as BDL does a good job when the Northerner is otherwise engaged, which is fairly often for a once a fortnight job.
Have to say I think the bloke's a complete twat, can't see why we continue to employ him surely we could save some cash and maybe buy some studs for some of our players who seem unable to stay on their feet during some matches.
defo said it and defo has to go, we do have a lot more important things to worry about but FFS what next ? "lets get behind our lillywhites here at upton park, come on you lions!!"
Well sorry to disappoint you all but Charlton is on the East side of London.
I really don't see your problem. You're the same peole who get all worked up when people make jokes about Charlton.
Charlton may well be on the east side of London, that's not why I personally dislike the bloke and after supporting Charlton for over thirty years I am well and truly past worrying about people making jokes about Charlton.

For the record I think he is a tool too.
I wrote to RM the day after BC_addcik was sacked and told him in no uncertain terms what I thought. He read my letter, he told me. Ok he didn't re-instate Brian but I'm glad I made my feelings known.
The dismissal of BC is just one of many things we have got so very wrong on and off the pitch over the last 5 years.
The point isn't whether Charlton is in the north, south, east or west of London. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of the club knows that it is known - by it's own fans and football fan in general - as a South London club.
Simple really. The fella doing the tannoy should know that - but he clearly doesn't and I'm guessing that's why people have got the ump.
Not the biggest thing to get worked up about, but annoying all the same - particularly when delivered by a norvan munkee!

Watch out for those splinters on that fence Postie !
I believe we may be playing back in SE London London on saturday as Our current announcer is once again taking advantage of another gig. At least we will hopefully have BDL pitchside instead

Edit: if you can get bigger than bc. ;-)
I didn't hear this but if its true, what a plank.
Did he really say that? What a pillock.
Seriously, how much is he costing us each match?

Maybe Pardew wrote his script for a windup
Get rid of this prick NOW!!
Complete twonk bring back Cole."
Yep, couldn't believe it when I heard it.
What a depressing way to start the game!
All you needed was an Aaa-haaah and a 10" plate.
I really don't see your problem. You're the same peole who get all worked up when people make jokes about Charlton.
South East London
SE7
At least that'll annoy the hamsters.
The South = South of river, East = East side of London - Get over it.

What about a Brian Big Dave combo, as part of our new start?
Where are the fans representatives when real issues face us?
