It’s a classic… but that didn’t stop the AFC Fylde stadium announcer falling for one of the oldest pranks in the book.
Fylde, the National League side, were in action on Tuesday night and romped to an easy 4-1 defeat of Ramsbottom United in the FA Trophy.
However, one person associated with the club was left with egg on their face – the stadium announcer.
Fylde revealed on Wednesday that three young kids duped the man behind the microphone into asking for a Nissan Micra to be moved in the car park as it was blocking their dad’s car in an emergency.
The announcer took the all important detail – the vehicle’s registration – and read it out over the loudspeaker to all in attendance.
But it was not an emergency and the car doesn’t even exist, with the announcer falling for a classic in the prank call genre.
The number plate of the imaginary car was ‘NE14 ABJ’, which, when spoken out loud character by character, reads… well, we’ll let you figure it out.
"My dad's blocked in and it's an emergency – could you read this out?"
Aye, an emergency is it lads? pic.twitter.com/vJR0m8OgzH
