Ok guys, after a blindin tournament (respect to Niall and the Campaign Crew) noone likes to have a moan, and although I agree with a lot of your thoughts regarding the registration and the ID passes, that is, in true Big Brother style, not my plight!!!
I don't know how many of you out there actually stayed to watch the finals on Sunday, but could someone please tell me what the hell the bloke with the microphone was doing?
HE WAS TERRIBLE!!!!
Now we had the Crystals, those lovely young ladies with their pompoms, who bless them all, probably didn't want to be there in the first place but kept smiling. Then there were the Nelson Girls, strutting their stuff and having a laugh and generally giving the crowd something to look at in between the final games.
BUT THE MC................................
Oh dear. First off, before you open your mouth, make sure you've got the right information in your head. Fault 1: Introducing the Tunnel Rats as someone completely different isn't gonna earn you any Kudos. And if your job was to give the 30 second, 10 second and Game On calls, then you give those calls at the right moments. I cannot believe that he gave the 10 second call, and then before any players had moved into their starting positions, Game On was called!! I mean.....it's 10 seconds!!!! Buy a new watch or count in your head. It's relly not that difficult, but don't call Game On, 5 seconds after your 10 second call, ESPECIALLY IN THE PRO FINALS!!!!
Now I must admit it may sound like I'm whinging for the sake of it, but if these little mistakes didn't upset anyone, then his attempt of getting the crowd going would've!
'Everybody say whoooa' followed by silence from the crowds, followed by a lonesome tumbleweed, rolloing it's way across the track!!!
Now I don't mean to be rude man, but if you're reading this Mr. MC, then please, don't give up your dayjob, and if you insist on carrying on your new found profession as an MC, then try Denmark or Germany, or somewhere where Europop and the 80's travelling roadshow are still appreciated!
There's a time and a place my friend, and the Millenium Circuit is not it!!!
