Wondered if anyone knows the identity of the announcer at Towcester last Thursday. Every gushing sentiment and inane question over the PA at maximum volume. Was trying to cover my ears to concentrate on the runners and riders. Suppose this is what we should expect for getting in free.
Just found this thread…
Roger Hart. Think there was a problem with the PA system which was the reason for the volume issue.
Ricky,
I was the commentator that day but apart from running through the card over the public address an hour before the first race, I was only heard during each race. If the originator of this thread was refering to during the race sound, he could well have a problem with me but at other times? I plead not guilty.Was it Matt Chapman?
The Beast has had his say if it was.

Cav,
Matt Chapman was in America for the BC I think, so Roger Hart was doing the ‘honours’.
Think the Beast has a checkered history with Towcester – some choice Winstanley language at a Festival preview rings a bell.Cheers John , I wrongly assumed your commentary was for both airwaves and on course
apologies …

Hello John Hunt – no, not guilty at all – it was a blessed relief when he handed over to you.
Perhaps I shouldn`t judge Mr Hart too harshly if there was a PA problem
Perhaps you shouldn’t judge the announcer at all – he’s just doing the job he’s ben employed to do by the course. He didn’t wander in off the streets, take over the PA mike and ad lib.
If you don’t like it, write to Towcester and tell them, but as it makes no difference whether it’s Roger Hart or Derek Thompson or Matt Chapman behind the mike, there’s no mileage in blaming the individual.
