It's a busy time for our resident stadium announcer Paul Burrell.
Following today's FA Trophy 1/4 final,he'll be heading to Wembley
Stadium to take up microphone duties at tomorrow's Carling Cup
Final.Since 2002 Paul has announced at several major finals including
end of season play offs at both Wembley and Millennium stadiums.
Paul has been with us here at the Scholars since Nov 2005 but you have to
go back to Aug 1991 to the start of his association with Arsenal FC.
In the name of neutrality the Football League won't allow Paul to be
tomorrow's match announcer.....however he will be conducting pre-
match on pitch interviews with ex-Gunners Charlie Nicholas and
Perry Groves.The Arsenal connection continues on Mon 7th March
when Paul will join up with the official Arsenal flight to Barcelona in
the role of English speaking announcer pre match at the Nou Camp
Stadium......this opportunity arising five years after performing the
same role at Stade de France for the Arsenal/Barca 2006
Champion's League Final.
We wish Paul luck and are impressed to note that he'll be donning
his blue/white Chasetown FC badge wth pride at both of these
iconic venues.
