"Be on the pitch tomorrow! "

by Winchester Royal » 11 Sep 2009 13:42

Reading 107 have teamed up with the Bina Tandoori to launch a brand new competition for loyal Royals.

Reading fans can win the chance to join announcer Paul Allen on the pitch at every home match, to introduce the second half with 'Back the Boys and Make Some Noise, Come on URZ!' - live on the microphone to up to 24,000 fans!

To enter the prize draw, just go to http://www.reading107fm.com and enter your details. The winner will be contacted by Reading FC. The award-winning Bina Tandoori on Prospect Street specialises in authentic Indian & Bengali cuisine.


Please no.

:shock:

I'd happily pay someone to win this competition, get on the pitch and shout something amusing like "YOU'RE ALL W*NKERS!!"

I don't really see the point. Would you rather hear a kid screaming through the microphone, or not? No brainer.

Can't you just do it yourself and keep the money?

What has the Biba got to do with it though ?

Does the 'winner' get a lifetimes supply of poppadoms or something ?

I bet you'd pay to have the microphone switched off and the kid wouldn't know the difference.

The moment we get 'The referee's a w*nker!' to introduce the second half, whoever came up with this awful idea is going to be looking for another job!

You just do not hand the PA over to someone who might have had one to many drinks- just look what happened at Norwich!

The only way to enjoy the 'match day experience' these days is to wear ear plugs and forget you're there.

The "matchday announcer" Paul Allen is embarrassing enough without having an 8 year old kid screeching down a mic. The worst thing is the club think that this is the sort of thing a football matchday experience consists of.

Shit club, run by clowns, what do you expect? Probably my last season going to home games as im tired of cringing at our antics. The club does the best to embarrass the fans and it works.

Who is the marketing guy at RFC now, at least when we had Boyd Butler we knew who to talk to, got the twat that wound up the fans about Pards sacked, reason being he shouted down the mic, it has a oxf*rd amp on the other end.

LI have more idea than RFC, make it an experience, nothign in the car parks for footy, rugger has all sorts, tho it may be cos the game is more boring???

The banshee like screeeeching of children through an amplified micrphone is both cringe inducing and ear perforating.

Stop Reading, stop.

Smith's performance on the mic was superb compared to that screeching little sh*t on the pitch Saturday. I had to stop at the Berks on the way home to get my ears checked.
