Always makes you feel at home when you hear his voice, one of the those little things that makes you remember you're first game at field mill. I think he does a fine job and if you're moaning about a stadium announcer who does it for free then oh dear how sad.

Keep it up Alan, he'll be missed when he stops doing it.

Fair play to him for doing it for free, surely the club should pay him something?


Well I doubt he buys at ticket every time he announces so there are perks. I'd imagine he gets fed also.
He's a supporter of t'club and most of us would do it for free wouldn't we eh?

Yeah he says it obviously saves him a season ticket but just because someone will do something for nothing doesn’t mean you should give them nothing.

But he’s obviously happy as he is so as I said fair play to the bloke.
