Crowd Announcements

Floyd MontanaFloyd Montana
edited February 2010 in General Charlton
A lot of the crowd have been dismayed by seemingly illgical substitutions.
Obviously sometimes these are due to injuries, such as may have been the case this Saturday.
My point is, what are the pro's and con's of even a brief announcement?

Clearly the TV in the corner wont state 'Burton - Substitution - dip in form', and many could be left blank or mentioned as 'tactical' but if there is a strain or some such, wouldnt the crowd be more positive (the fabled and, at charlton, mythical 12th man) and get behind the remaining players and management if they knew what was behind some of the more mystifying changes?

Who knows it may stifle a boo or two?

    I remember Mich McCarthy saying once that he was getting stick from the crowd over one of his substitutions as nobody realised he was injured (can't remember which club he was at then). He simply shouted at the player to start limping as he was coming off and it seemed to do the trick!

    Nicky Bailey seems to be pre-empting this potential new policy!

    We need to do everything we can to keep the fans onside (as well as a couple of strikers we could mention!)

    I'm mystified with the constant Cleaning Supervisor announcements "Would the Cleaning Supervisor report to....." "Would the Cleaning Supervisor do such and such.." "Would the Cleaning Supervisor get his kit on and report to Mr Parkinson on the touchline etc". It seems that announcements for the Cleaning Supervisor must be heard at 30 minute intervals across the tannoy or heads will roll ! We clearly have the most important Cleaning Supervisor in football.

    I think that means the Head Steward pilchard...

    No, the Cleaning Supervisor at Ajax is more important.

    What, even more important than the supervisor of half-time oranges at Valencia?

    The 'cleaning supervisor' message is a coded one so as not to cause a scare.

    I think it means panic over, stand down.

    Are you cleaning supervisor at Notts Bounty?
  • Floyd MontanaFloyd Montana
    I like the idea of changing a letter to create food stuffs to football club names.
    A different thread perhaps, starting with bounty, Leeks and Stockpot

    Why have the 'code'?
    Surely more people are panicking about the cleanliness of the stadium with all these announcements?

    anyone any thoughts about informing the crowd of injury replacements to encourage support??

    Suspect package behind the East Stand on Saturday, which turned out to be a flask :-)

    Correct.

    It's code for, "Therry Racon, please return to the dressing room, put the kettle on and make the tea.
    You won't be getting a game today."

    I am glad so many of you are up on the coded tannoy messages. Many thanks for clearing that up!! :o)
    Silly old Mr Bell me.

    does anyone else not really want to know the other scores as on saturday when things weren't going our way, i dont think putting up that all our opponents were winning was really that helpful.
  • eastbourne_addickeastbourne_addick
    so what are the ther coded messages?
  • eaststandmikeeaststandmike
    [cite]Posted By: eastbourne addick[/cite]so what are the ther coded messages?

    We cannot tell you that, however what I am prepared to say is "Can the cleaning supervisor log on to Charlton Life and deal with eastbourne addick" ;-)

    Back to the original point: if folk are so dim that they need to have it explained to them why a player who's hardly played all season might need to come off, they'll probably sit in their seat hooting about some shit or other. On the audio on the OS Parky sounds a bit exasperated by it.

    They wouldn't be the same people who boo their own players, would they .....?
  • Floyd MontanaFloyd Montana
    The point being that they might boo less if they knew more about what is going on.
    Last Saturday being a prime example. Reids substitution was bood, but with a simple injured message the group around me would have changed their opinions and cheered? the team on for the rest of the game,
    Why not?

    Why don't the club let the west/east/north stand cleaning supervisors let us know why players are being subbed if they're not really doing any cleaning supervision. We can't afford to have people being paid to stand around doing nothing. Look what happened to Palarse.

    A player that's started just 1 game all season, plus a handful of short sub appearances is hardly going to be match fit.

    If anyone knows anything about how the game is played they would understand that, wouldn't they?
