I have got to say that all the announcements this year ahave been totally lacking in professionalism.
From the PA not being loud enough, breaking up and announcer sounding totally uninterested to the music being played too early and too late for the team coming out of the tunnel.
The only professional performance on this side of things this year was Keith Chegwin. Knowing nobod
'foty really wanted to see him he attained the crowds attention using humour and a larger than life personality.
This is another area where Leigh really need to step up. The stadium announcer is the vital link between the fans and the club on match day and extremely high profile. At the end of the day the fans want to watch good entertaining rugby but if you provide quality entertainment the whole matchday experience is fortified.
The band today were excellent and I think if people had been made aware of there position in the East Stand they will have been more appreciative.

cheers for that took me back to the skin head days

When we got in the ground about 2 ish hardly anyone was in and shortly afterwards the band started playing to practically non existant crowds ,we tried our best to applaud but i bet they thought it was a tad pathetic,its a shame really as they were good and i bet they were not cheap either.

One of yesterday's conversions was by Nick Nanyn..............

Right I too was disgusted by the timing of the announcements yesterday so instead of complaining on here I went to Dave Bradshaw and put the complaints to him, re the announcer and timings

The guy who has been doing it all year phoned the club 2 hours before the Halifax game and pulled out so a replacement had to be found in two hours the Genesis guy kindly stood in and also the original announcer said he wasnt going to be doing any more games so again the genesis guy stood in, he was given a running order but the band ran slightly over time (and they played yesterday for about a tenth of their normal fee) as a result of these timings it all went wrong and (IMO) it would seem the announcer did not use common sense and altered it himself, he will not be doing it again he has been thanked for stepping in at short notice but the job is now 'vacant'.

Well done for addressing the matter directly, Fred.

I was going to say we couldn't hear him in the West Stand about 10 yards away! Hopefully, it will be done professionally next season.

On a more positive note, I would likd to praise the girl acrobats. I thought they were sensational yesterday and, again, got virtually no appreciation from the crowd. Maybe everyone had other things on their mind!
