No idea mate, but he would have probly been ok at doing snooker. Not trying to 'diss' him btw, but a don't think anyone must have checked his CV.

The best impression Roy does is of Norman Collier or is that because the mic's and system at Redcar and Newcastle are rubbish and should be sorted as it's hit and miss while trying to listen to him He's very welcome with us at Redcar and I said to him last night he best not be thinking of packing in. Don't think he's hanging the mic up, just not doing the "Ranting Roy" column in the RaceDay Mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was at Berwick he was a bit “over the top” with the nicknames ect,but he was very informative regarding the the sport and good filling in between races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrace Grumbler Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 There was an announcer whose surname was either Bird or Shield. The week he came George greeted him in the programme, then the week after apologised for getting his name wrong. Either way, he was hopeless.

Aceslider Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I recall a bloke who did the job for a long time who was very knowledgeable about speedway. He was very good and maybe performed this role at other events, not necessarily speedway. Again just a recollection but his Christian name may have been Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a Post Office person, and he left to go down to the Humberside area. Walked around a lot, good voice and content with black hair. I remember he came back for a little while, while we were stuck, Newcastle's own version of the "Guest' system. He was with us though the 90's and early 00's I think. I thought he was very professional. Edited October 30, 2019 by Tsunami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
