There's a petition on change.org to reinstate Mike Rankine as stadium announcer which is gathering pace pretty quickly. There's even been an article in The Guardian! I didn't create it, but agree that the new guy is absolutely abysmal. It's been proven on the BBS from his Twitter that the new guy is a Man U fan, despite being Croydon born and bred. Surely this is everything our club stands against? What happened to "South London and Proud". Despite the new announcer being totally inept, Mike was a great part of the matchday experience which I personally miss. As wrong as it feels to try an oust someone from their job, he's simply not good enough and an embaressment to the club. He didn't even pause when reading Routledge's name against Swansea! Anyway...

Signed it. Can we also have a petition to turn down the PA system? I don't know what it's like in other parts of the ground, but where I sit in the Arthur Wait, it's deafening and torturous. and whilst I'm on a rant, turn those bloody lights down as well!! Too much US style razzmatazz this season.

We keep singing but they successfully drowned us out tys week (managed to keep going in previous ones).

Moments in this video ( [Link] ) highlight how much we have changed as a club, for the worse. The new announcer is dreadful, and the light show is even worse.

But we, as a club, have grown the bean, and ground it, but the taste is bitter. Ian Holloway forgot to say that bit.
