Opposition Substitutions

Why when we make a substitution does the PA guy announce it in a clear and audible tone, then when the opposition make one he just mumbles something indecipherable? I want to know who is coming on to potentially ruin my day.

I've noticed that to lol

It also happens to us at away games, very strange.

It's the same when they announce the opposition players before the game - just mumble out the names. This a bit stupid, because we may spot some talent worth raiding and the announcer hasn't given us the name properly. Also, everything seems like a mumble after the ridiculous conversation-killing volume blasting out from the PA before the players get out. Pardon?

I don't think our recruitment policy works quite like this... ;P

I would imagine Billy knows pretty well who's who and how good they are long before the PA guy mumbles the name.

I think it's probably a deliberate ploy to avoid giving the opposition's fans something to cheer.

Most of the annoucements by the PA man are pretty inaudible to me.

The P.A. system in the Trent End is woeful, completely inaudible. Should the stand happen to catch fire the rest of the ground would be evacuated while we poor sods would remain totally oblivious, only to be recovered the following day as 4,500 bags of soot.
