Saint_clark Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Please stop that cringy "With Papa, Rickie, Adam and you....we're marching on to Wembleeeeey!!!11". It's so embarrassing. Along with pretty much everything else you say.
Master Bates Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 I want his job. Actually.............. as of next season why doesn't the club get a different fan each home match to be the pitch announcer..... ok, i'll do it permanently, try and incorporate some bewbs onto the big screen.
doggface Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Really?!!! How ****in cheesey is our matchday 'entertainment' I'm surprised nc has not sorted it out yet!
Legod Third Coming Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 I say sack him and employ the bloke from Wycombe, he was ace.
Matthew Le God Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Every match he is required to announce ticket details he always get the figure and info wrong. For example last night he said in the 2nd phase of Wembley tickets you could buy direct from the ticket office in person. He also said that the Southern Final of the JPT only had one leg. Just a couple of countless **** ups during the season he has made.
Saint_clark Posted 3 March, 2010 Author Posted 3 March, 2010 Why do they feel the need to treat us like infants?
Matthew Le God Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Why do they feel the need to treat us like infants? He does "Papa, Rickie, Adam, all of you" thing for the kids in the Chapel Stand but none of them care.
Saint_clark Posted 3 March, 2010 Author Posted 3 March, 2010 He does "Papa, Rickie, Adam, all of you" thing for the kids in the Chapel Stand but none of them care. Then why shout it out to the whole stadium with the pictures of the players on the screen?
Matthew Le God Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 I'd imagine the Huddersfield and Walsall fans thought it was cringeworthy. The three match officials last night all laughed at it when they were warming up.
70's Mike Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Then why shout it out to the whole stadium with the pictures of the players on the screen? because he is a pratt
Matthew Le God Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Then why shout it out to the whole stadium with the pictures of the players on the screen? I think the aim is to sell as much merchandise on the back of the Wembley trip as possible. This is one of their ploys. Not going to work on me but it will for a lot of people.

andybeal Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 What is his name anyway? I always think of him as a failed newsreader who loves the sound of his own voice and his face on the big screen.
Ken Tone Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Every match he is required to announce ticket details he always get the figure and info wrong. For example last night he said in the 2nd phase of Wembley tickets you could buy direct from the ticket office in person. He also said that the Southern Final of the JPT only had one leg. Just a couple of countless **** ups during the season he has made. He also said before the game that we'd sold 34,500 wembley tickets , and then at half time he said 38,500. Selling 4000 tickets during the first half was pretty good going I thought. Well done the ticket office. Now was that by phone, or on line? But after last night I'm prepared to forgive even him. Beginning to think Cloud 9 really exists. K.
fairoakjon Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 What is his name anyway? I always think of him as a failed newsreader who loves the sound of his own voice and his face on the big screen. Stewart Dennis is his name. Used to do the breakfast show on The Saint/Radio Hampshire. To be fair to him it's a tough gig - he's probably just reading a script forced on him by the club. He did look a ***** though just before the second half when he started reading the "multi ball" nonsense and then obviously got told to shut up, since the ref had stopped it midway through the first half ! He's not the worst though - who was that young guy who did it for one season early on after the move to St Marys ? I remember he made some inappropriate joke about a deaf charity who were sponsoring the game. He did one season and then was replaced by Mike Osman I think (may have been other way round). No-one tops Dennis Rofe's half time pitch announcements at The Dell though - legend.
fred kemp Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 i've been saying to my mate that its patronising, he drowns out the crowd singing, he is a prat, nothing at all would be better than him, give him to pompey, get rid and quick
Jackie@home Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 He just hasn't got the right voice for shouting out the names - his voice cracks up halfway through Ricky Lambert. Needs a booming voice like Kris Temple on Solent for it to sound right.
Colinjb Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Is there really any need to have this pre match and half time drivel?
The Cat Posted 3 March, 2010 Posted 3 March, 2010 Reading this thread makes me glad I arrive in the ground right on kick off and leave my seat on about 40 mins to get a beer. Used to Love Rofe. He'd wind up the away fans and then sing "Oh When The Saints" like a mad old tramp while everyone in the Archers laughed. Bring him back.
fareham saint phil Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 As mentioned before can anyone match Denis Rofe for half time entertainment, we paid good money to see that!!!
beatlesaint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 He's not the worst though - who was that young guy who did it for one season early on after the move to St Marys ? I remember he made some inappropriate joke about a deaf charity who were sponsoring the game. He did one season and then was replaced by Mike Osman I think (may have been other way round). That was some guy called Fisher, cant remember his first name. I think he was something to do with Radio Solent. He was awful.
Tomobz Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 having the nippers doing the penalty shootout at wycombe was quality. they should do that at sms
as-is saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I spoke to the announcer recently and he's been "asked " to make that Wembley "cheesey" pre- match call!
saint_ben Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 dennis rofe's half time chit chat was jus legendary! Bring him back! Never knew why Lowe & Burley sacked him!
ralph_wiggum Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Definitely Dennis Rolfe and his shorts... was quality, This bloke combined with the euorpop remix of "oh when the saints" is cringe worthy! BTW does anyone have a copy of the remix (I want to **** everyone off in the minibus on the way to wembly, by leaving it on repeat!)
Mr Saints Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 It looks and sounds as though his communication technique is based on Alan Partridge.
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 the announcer doesn't have the tone of voice to gee up the crowd. Bit of a squeeker if you ask me! Need someone with an authoritive voice who can really get the ground pumping.
Clifford Nelson Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I can recall that some of Mike Osman's antics were rather cringeworthy as well, which we all agreed at the time. Maybe it's time to bring the old brass band back again...and maybe not. Rofey was good entertainment, what's he up to these days?
alehouseboys Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Personally the pre/halftime entertainment doesn't appeal to me but...you're never gonna please everyone with a crowd that ranges in age from 5-95. I'd be quite happy to see a topless troupe gyrating on the pitch to some raunchy ol' tunes but obviously old Doris wont feel the same. Stewart Dennis is an Exeter fan BTW.
Golden Balls Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 From Wiki: "Since leaving The Saints, Rofe has been engaged as a match summariser on BBC Radio 5, and spent the summer of 2006 working in the Bahamas alongside Luther Blissett at the annual Premier League Soccer Camp.[6] He is also working as the Football League's regional youth development officer. "

Doris is a lesbian, she'll love it.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Albion Band please ;-) Actually Nick Halling would be good.....proper voice, loves Saints.... Stewart Dennis has a voice for radio, not a stadium. I'll do it. Or, if we want something for the kids, get the bloke off Gigglebiz. He's class :-D Gigglebiz, Gigglebiz, ho ho ho
benjii Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Reading this thread makes me glad I arrive in the ground right on kick off and leave my seat on about 40 mins to get a beer. Used to Love Rofe.

The Cat Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Or, if we want something for the kids, get the bloke off Gigglebiz. He's class :-D Gigglebiz, Gigglebiz, ho ho ho Justin is amazing. I'd love to see Mr Tumble on the pitch at half time.
Channon's Sideburns Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 For all the posters sans kids....Gigglebiz should be on in the evenings...better than most of the sh1te put on...
saint-luco Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I say we get Dave Benson-Phillips inor johney ball
broncoboy Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 You have to feel sorry for the announcer. He must know it sounds ridiculous worthy of Alan Partridge.
niceandfriendly Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I spoke to the announcer recently and he's been "asked " to make that Wembley "cheesey" pre- match call! Hi Stewart :smt039
Tom28 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 His 34500; 38500; 34500 fiasco actually annoyed me to the point that I couldn't let it go until Deano got the 4th. Buerk. I'd have a comedian in each match to keep spirits up.
Block 5 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Stewart's MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/stewartdennisdj I don't think he's logged in for a while. Much more interesting is his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/stewart.dennis Stewart (Plank) Dennis is a fan of: Exeter City Football Club
Didcot Saint Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 I say sack him and employ the bloke from Wycombe, he was ace. Totally agree me and my mates all said he was spot on.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 You have to feel sorry for the announcer. He must know it sounds ridiculous worthy of Alan Partridge. I knew he reminded me of someone...!
dune Posted 4 March, 2010 Posted 4 March, 2010 Rather Mike Osman back than his boring bastard. I'm probably in a minority of 1 but I liked Mike Osman.
