Tannoy announcements
At Elland Road a few years ago there was an announcement for a “John Smith” to go home “because your wife is stuck in the toilet”.
It was particularly cold and wet and near Christmas when the announcer said “would Reverend Thomas please contact the nearest official. The roof of the church has collapsed.”
At an Irish international match at Lansdowne Road a few years ago : “If there is a John Smith in the ground, his wife says he is to come straight home after the game and not go to the pub.”
At Bournemouth v QPR a while back the announcer asked for an electrician to report to reception. One minute later another announcement came out asking for a plumber. At this point, the QPR fans started signing “Bob The Builder”.
It was a Merseyside derby when a message came over the tannoy saying “would all the supporters here who went to the previous game against Man City, and the last two away games against Villa and Coventry, please report to the nearest steward as they would like to know where you get the money from.”
