Andy at Skint asking about TOTP now...

[attila]

I asked him if an email blitz would help, he said no, it would just make them arsey, probably.....
Fingers crossed. I think it's a very long shot but who knows?
Great piece in the Guardian. The Falmer publicity this is generating is phenomenal!

To get to Number 17 we sold 3, 418 copies, about 200 fewer than 16 and 50 more than 18.

5000 have been pressed, they should all go now, and we'll definitely make money for A&K. Talked to Skint about logic or not of pressing more, but this was never really in the equation - we need to sell what we've got, and, being realistic, we have judged this about right.

If we tried for glory with another 5000 we would end up with egg on our faces 'cos they wouldn't get in the shops till next week and that would be far too late (and equally, there is a limited market outside Sussex!!)

It has all worked brilliantly.
News about TOTP when I get it....

You are a legend

 

[SK1NT]

top stuff! the tune is actually really good too!

bring on TOTP's that would be a major publicity stunt

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

Fantastic effort, listened to the charts yesterday for the first time in years, was great to hear it played on Radio One!!

 

[Braders]

great stuff attila

Best we just keep our fingers crossed, then.

Any idea when we'll know?

 

[Hungry Joe]

Loved the bit after it was played on Radio 1 when the Joc said "they want their stadium and they want it now" (or words to that affect). Good effort all involved.

 

[Seagullible]

great stuff John - whens the album out?

 

[Theatre of Trees]

How about putting it as a payable download to try and keep the money trickling in?

 

[The Large One]

He said, just as it was fading out 'they want it, they need it. Falmer.'

Sounds naff when you read it like that, but on the radio it did sound sincere.

 

[Seagulltonian]

As an extra to what Theatre Of Trees said. How about making it as a payable download on here, with 75% of the fee to Alive & Kicking, with the remaining 25% to go to Bozza to help with his bandwidth?

Well done Attila for the promotional push to get to 17

 

[Blackadder]

Agreed. Don't know is this has been posted but I'd rather it be posted twice than not at all!

Guardian Piece

 

[Silent Bob]

And again we're on the front page of BBC football

Its a good point, if people around the country want a copy but can't as it will not be available, what costs are involved in putting it on the Radio One download chart. It could then be available around the world with out the need to press more copies

Would that contribute to next week's chart?

 

[Gazwag]

I think its a separate chart

I liked the opening lines:

A single released by Brighton football fans keen to highlight their club's fight for a new stadium has made number 17 in the official charts.

"Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)" charted above the likes of Girls Aloud, Blue and Christina Aguilera.

Apart from being fantastic-it's bloody hilarious to chart above those 'artistes'

 

[Bwian]

I think its a separate chart

Another chart to be nobbled by NSC?

Another chart to be nobbled by NSC?

But also continue to generate a bit of cash, if the costs to set it up are minimal, which I would guess would be

 

[Everest]

Do sing: "One Johnny Prescott! There's only one Johnny Prescott!"

Don't sing: "Who's the bastard in the Office for the Deputy Prime Minister?"

Not to be confused with: Tern! Tern! Tern! by the Byrds, Flock Around the Rock by Bill Haley and the Guillemots.
