The9 Posted 24 November, 2015 Author Posted 24 November, 2015 Well "Steve " did say Saturday was his last game with Saints, so he is being replaced... I am sure we all await with bated breath... I'm impressed you heard, I saw him kiss the camera or wave goodbye or whatever he did (I wasn't really looking), and I sure as hell couldn't hear him. FWIW "bated" breath means "holding your breath" in excitement or anticipation. It's got nothing to do with bait and comes from "abate", as in to stop something happening (e.g noise abatement society).
VectisSaint Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 I'm impressed you heard, I saw him kiss the camera or wave goodbye or whatever he did (I wasn't really looking), and I sure as hell couldn't hear him. Heard him fine and I wasn't even watching at the time as I was making my way down to the concourse.
The9 Posted 24 November, 2015 Author Posted 24 November, 2015 Heard him fine and I wasn't even watching at the time as I was making my way down to the concourse. I haven't heard the speakers in the Northam since about 2002.
East Kent Saint Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 Totally unintelligible from start to finish , saw the camera kissing but the rest ......
VectisSaint Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 I haven't heard the speakers in the Northam since about 2002. Probably an issue with the Northam then, not with the man himself or with the PA in general. In the Itchen south he is (was) unfortunately loud and clear.
markr27 Posted 24 November, 2015 Posted 24 November, 2015 Probably an issue with the Northam then, not with the man himself or with the PA in general. In the Itchen south he is (was) unfortunately loud and clear. "Thwee, two, one.Go Go Go..."
Saint Garrett Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Poch must have liked him....! Strange
rooney Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Probably an issue with the Northam then, not with the man himself or with the PA in general. In the Itchen south he is (was) unfortunately loud and clear. I have not been able to hear the PA System in the Chapel clearly ever since SMS was built.Listening to Gordon Strachan on the large screen video was a joke.
Saint IQ Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Gone to Spurs? Very odd. Can't say he'll be missed....They're welcome to him
Faz Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 If only we were still in Europe............................ See what happens.
Mr Biscuits Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Sorry my givea****-o-meter appears to be broken and stuck on zero. Oh no sorry, that's an accurate reading
Badger Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Judas tool has gone to Spurs Except this has only been posted by Pluto. Is he reliably ITK ?
SNSUN Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 I have not been able to hear the PA System in the Chapel clearly ever since SMS was built.Listening to Gordon Strachan on the large screen video was a joke. I'd say the guy before Bennett (I forget the predecessor's name) at least enunciated his words properly. I could understand him, Bennett talked quickly and was largely un-understandable. Get the True Geordie to switch allegiance and give him the job, would be a larf.
kwsaint Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Can't imagine that I would ever approve of a transfer to Spurs, but getting rid of Steve Bennett is excellent news. Maybe we could get someone who could actually do the job without irritating everyone
Katalinic Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 Can't imagine that I would ever approve of a transfer to Spurs, but getting rid of Steve Bennett is excellent news. Maybe we could get someone who could actually do the job without irritating everyone Karma for Tommy Forecast.
Golden Balls Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 That is fantastic news. Hopefully we can get someone decent in now. Isn't that Steve bloke a local Saints fan too? Wonder if he reads this forum. Would be funny.
JJSFC Posted 25 November, 2015 Posted 25 November, 2015 "The SAIIIIIIIIIIINTS!" oh do **** off. Also, why would a so-called die hard Saints fan **** off and work for Spurs? Glad to see the back of him.
Saint IQ Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Except this has only been posted by Pluto. Is he reliably ITK ? I saw that picture on a twitter Saints page then went here, he probably got it from there.
Coxford_lou Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 I think if we're recruiting a replacement they should proactively find a woman for the role. By doing so they will open up more opportunities for recruiting women in football, and find a voice that represents the 30% or so of female football supporters. I think they should use positive discrimation to make that happen to counter the male bias. We can show we're a club for the 21st century not stuck in the past like Spurs clearly are. Plus, there's increasing evidence that women are just better at this kind of thing - quicker witted, funnier, and more likeable. I might try and get a Twitter campaign going on this - it would be great to get your support.
Toomer Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Every time Bennett opened his mouth my mate would say O do shut up, I know Mike Osman could be a bit cringe worthy at times but if you cut him he would bleed red and white.
Pilchards Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 I'd love it if he said on the next game for Spurs... 'GIVE IT UP FOR THE SAIIIINNTS....' It would be like a Olly Murs moment

Or they could just recruit the best candidate, rather than specifically searching for a specific gender... I'd like to think that if a woman excels in the recruitment process, then she'd get the role.

This sounds like the sort of progressive thing that would be a natural next step for a club with such a progressive chairman. Getting a woman to be the announcer seems like the most obvious way to go. Particularly if she's fit.

Much like the birds on SSN it wont be a claire balding looky-likey
doddisalegend Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Can't we just get Ralph to do it with an impassioned saints speech before every game......
twopintsnilnil Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 I asked about the PA recently and got a fairly standard reply: Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your feedback regarding the PA system and the advertised position of Club Presenter. You make some valid points, and some interesting suggestions. We have forwarded your comments to the relevant staff within the facilities team, who are currently undertaking a review of the system and putting forward ideas for a potential upgrade. However, that last paragraph explicitly says that there is a review of the PA system taking place. I'll follow up in a month or so unless it breaks here first of course.

VectisSaint Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 Can't we just get Ralph to do it with an impassioned saints speech before every game...... That would certainly kill what atmosphere there is stone dead.
The9 Posted 26 November, 2015 Author Posted 26 November, 2015 (edited) It does appear he's doing some stuff for Spurs from his YouTube. Can't say I'm bothered but nice to know one way or another. Edited 26 November, 2015 by The9
Yoshi Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 We should get a different fan each week to do the job.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 26 November, 2015 Posted 26 November, 2015 I'm sure it's been mentioned earlier on but we need to respect our heritage & give Dennis Rofe the job. He could also collect in the bib & cones to allow Sammy Lee to concentrate on shouting.

Getting a woman to be the announcer seems like the most obvious way to go. Particularly if she's fit. Oh my god, I so totally agree Hypo! And this would send out such a positive message for the next generation of female announcers to understand there's no closed doors to female talent in football. Yeah, and I agree they should be fit - it's good for a sports club to promote healthy life style messages.
