Music at withdean

[Jimmy Grimble]

OK - his choice of music is tiresome, but who, over than those in the family stand with children, is actually in the ground any more than 5-10 minutes before kick off?

Why on EARTH would you want to spend MORE time than is neccessary at Withdean?! To watch the players warm-up?! To watch Gully's Gir..ahh, you old PERVS, you...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's Attila's gig at the moment, and until somebody takes it off him, you'll all have to 'suffer' his impeccable choice of tunes. Them's the rules. Suggest an alternative.

Besides, who in their right minds gets to Withdean more than about five minutes before kick-off?

 

[Hiney]

Couldn't we have a few songs from here

What are you, stupid or something? - North Stand Chat

each week?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

The music that is best is the stuff gully girls dance to...

Ummm...we've suggested alternatives. Lots of them and a lot of us in the family stand arrive earlyish and it's that crowd that Atilla alienates the most with his trip into Rock n Roll history.

Is the gig open to anyone because I reckon there'd be loads of us willing to take on the mantle on a guest appearance basis. Seriously, just because he's got the gig doesn't mean he has to have things all his way.

 

[Brighton M]

No doubt his alternative will be to play 'Geno' by Dexys Midnight Runners!

No reason why yourself, Ponce Mohammed Buzzer, shouldn't apply for the gig. Your Friday night selections are pretty damn immaculate IMHO. Maybe lay down a challenge to Attila by touting a Britpop playlist say? Bit of Oasis, follow it up with St Etienne, etc etc could easily fill the time. What would be not to like?

 

[Collar Feeler]

Who cares about his generation, its the same shit week in week out. New stadium = fresh ideas all round including the PA announcers and music etc. Sorry Attila but you are not going to get the kids rocking playing the dire crap you have been serving up at Withdean the last 10 years. If we want a new generation of fans at the Scoomarena Soccerbase then we need a whole match experience and I'm sorry but The Clash and Sham 69 are not really part of that equation.

 

[The Large One]

He played 'A New England' by Kirsty McColl.

Just after she died.

 

[Beach Hut]

It is beyond a joke this and basically sums up Withdean that each week we have to endure his sh1te record collection of punk rock as he is stuck in a time warp.

If the club persist and take this to Falmer it will just show the limited ambitions however I am sure Bloom knows the score and we will have a professional PA at then new stadium more in tune with the supporters.

Frankly the "club" response was very poor as well. My youngest asks each home game what on earth is this music and the club need to attract a large future young fan base.

 

[Brighton M]

No idea what he does for a living the rest of the year, but Graham, the announcer at the County Ground for one day games (and many Championship games) is fantastic. I think I read somewhere that he'd done a few national games too.

The Albion should get him in at Falmer.

 

[dougdeep]

his taste in music aint the best is it?

Surely nobody's taste can be the best, by definition.

This.

 

[Icy Gull]

The sound system is so bad that whatever was played would sound awful, and I was never a big punk fan in the 1st place so imagine how irritating I find it after however many years

 

[Working class pride]

I love punk myself, although loads of it is shit - as it was meant to be. But keep it a single classic track from SLF, UK Subs or maybe Brighton's finest, Peter and the test tube babies.

Can I ask for a bit of reggae.. almost everyone likes a bit of Bob Marley and harry J's All Stars The Liquidator and maybe some of the old Madchester stuff for our old casuals.

After that Attilla, afraid mate you have to sling on what is up to date

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Fair play to him for doing it for so long. However, it needs a complete change. His announcements (ie when he is reading the scores) are difficult to hear and he does not whip up the atmosphere at all in any way. Musically, I respect his choices but whether they are right for match day is another matter. There needs to be a complete update of the music and it needs to be up-tempo to get the crowd going.

careful mae we dont want naff american type rubbish or the sign of every shit club - playing music when a goal is scored. The crowd get an atmosphere going, well if the stewards dont tell everyone to sit down and shut up that is, not the announcer. the PA bloke should just play the tunes, announce teams / scores and then shut up

No. No, they don't.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Does he actually play the exact same songs each week? Or does he play different songs by the same bands?

 

[Working class pride]

No. No, they don't.

yeah true, I forgot about the australians, but they still listen to whitesnake or some shit australian soft rock bank, wear white trainers with faded jeans, have a perm and are called Bruce or Sheila
