That is the thing which goes on over the PA right? What does it mean?

Its a crowd safety/evacuation test for staff that goes on where they organise opening and closing of gates etc during matches - I think :-)

I may be wrong but I think it is a mandatory exercise to test the Stewards in evacuation procedures, in the event of the ground requiring to be evacuated pretty sharpish.

[Fernandinho]

So what, all the stewards just get up and pretend everyone is being evacuated? Wouldn't that lead to an increased chance of people at that game running onto the pitch while they are distracted?

The Glove would be the man best placed to answer this.

Who is The Glove? The announcer or something

Maybe it is just certain Lead Stewards have to man certain positions, check radio frequencies, ensure certain gates/doors are manned etc etc.

I really hate that thing. It breaks the games flow with this stupid voice booming over with nothing to do with the game. They should have all the stewards or whoever wearing ear pieces and doing it through that, not blaring it across the whole stupid ground. Or do it before the game starts. Its annoying as hell.

This is Hodgson's Liverpool we're talking about..........you should be thankful for the distraction.

Stupid voice? That's the dulcet tones of our George you're cussing

I kind of know what you mean but it's a small price to pay given what prompted them to start doing it.

Not sure I'd call them dulcet
