jawillwill Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 Hapoel Beer Sheeva's tannoy announcer is doing a great job at getting the crowd going. Should Saints try and emulate this when playing at SMS by occasionally shouting stuff during the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 the only time I can remember the tannoy announcer creating an atmosphere was when Saints were losing a vital relegation match against keegans Newcastle with 10 minutes to go we were losing 1-0. The announcer came on and told the Archers to sit down, with that they all stood up and starting roaring their defiance. with that the whole ground lifted and Nwcastle wilted and we scored 3 in the last 5minutes or so. I had never seen anything like it before or after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldNick Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 I think BBC south today played the radio solent commentary with the goals the night after, and the commentator was as excited as the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 29 September, 2016 Share Posted 29 September, 2016 I think BBC south today played the radio solent commentary with the goals the night after, and the commentator was as excited as the fans. I have looked and looked for that clip but can't find it anywhere, even the following night it was exciting, as you say the the Solent commentator was whipped up into quite a fremzy almost to the point of needing to be dragged into the car park and hosed down before he set the West Stand alight.

Well seeing as the only place at SMS where you can actual make out what is being said on the tannoy is in the toilets I'm not sure it's a great plan.....

My thoughts too, but just imagine what a great atmosphere we could have in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pass the Dutchie Posted 30 September, 2016 Share Posted 30 September, 2016 It actually really annoys me when they do that. And not just because it's the other team. It's a bit like a DJ in a club telling you how to dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Uwe Posted 30 September, 2016 Share Posted 30 September, 2016 We just need to re-appoint Dennis Rofe for the 75th time. A human tannoy/entertainer of the highest calibre (short shorts are an optional extra). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldeuboi Posted 30 September, 2016 Share Posted 30 September, 2016 I've stood with "Ultras" in many stadiums at many games and one thing that is extremely consistent is the organisation of the fan bases and how the atmosphere is actively encouraged and allowed by the club. I'm not even talking things as extreme as flares or fireworks. I've seen clubs that put lyrics for complicated club songs on the screens (and while you would think this would be a bit contrived, it meant people like me could join in instantly) etc, but one of the most consistent things that leads to the electric atmosphere are fans dedicated to getting the crowd going with megaphones and drums. Of course catchy songs that aren't just recycled versions of the same chants heard everywhere help. I think it's just an issue with English football. Too much clapping, not enough noise. It's a bit sad really whenever I come back to St. Mary's after travelling. I think it's only really when OWTS resonates round the whole stadium that even comes close.

Just for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHOKhyhBjnY I had to laugh at the crowds surging out of the Dell when they scored and then missing our three goals.
