Music at Withdean

[King Kong]

Is atilla the announcer at the ground then?

Never really thought about the music until now, but come to think of it there should definately be more modern stuff. Not the same every week and not some shithouse alternative rock but something aimed at the young'uns. As mentioned previously you want the kids and teens hooked - they are the future.

Oh and one more thing, a SCISSOR SISTERS track should NEVER grace Withdean again!!

No I was in France but I bet their marketing department is far better at attacting new fans than ours is.

I mean we are so forward you can't have a ticket for some home games unless you are on the database.

exactly but to quote you earlier Tony might not like the Clash being played. Perhaps he may be worrying about how to correct the ticketing stuff first?

So, come on guys, no one has managed to name the instrumental I was asking about earlier, played sometimes just before Sussex by the Sea and its not Right Here, Right Now.
Help please!

I want to hear BAMBOOGIE played after every goal so everyone whoops and celebrates whilst GROOVING to the fun time beats of "do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight" OVER AND OVER

This would make us the COOLEST club in the world

Winner!

One of my enduring memories of the Goldstone is listening to Fleetwood Mac through tinny speakers - it was the repetition that made the memory so strong. Even if something's a bit naff, it's all part of the day, the routine and therefore the memory.

I think there's a few people here (on both sides of the argument) who need to lighten up about it, no matter how good their intentions.

(though I do agree with an above post about the Scissor Sisters! )

You are all getting to Withdean far to early to listen to the music in my opinion. If you are in your seat 20 mins before kick off you should be placed in a mental home. Just stroll down there and get IN the ground 2 mins before kick off and the only song you here is "Good old..."

 

[Publius Ovidius]

anyone remember the music at MKD last year...granted the sound system was immense....BUT they played Whole Lotta Love and kashmir by Led Zep.

About time Liquidator was played again

When Kashmir by zeppelin was played at charlon before kick off I thought it was EPIC. Got me WELL HYPED innit

When was the last time this classic rock song was heard at Witdean ??

 

[Smithy24]

Kasabain is more current then hard fi, any chance of a bit of kasabain on saturday?

I agree. Clubfoot would be great for the atmosphere

 

[Tomnorthi]

Cant the music start earlier than 11 minutes before kick off?

 

[Beach Hut]

Once Falmer is occupied the club will put an end to the small time mentality and employ professional people to do the announcing, marketing etc which will hopefully put a stop to all this cronyism.

Nope. There are STRICT conditions of our staying at Withdean and ONLY 11 minutes of Atilla's family favourites is one of them

Interesting reading your comments.
Can't draw ANY conclusions from that lot, apart from the fact that most people think most people's tastes should be catered for, somehow. Which is where I started off! And that Beach Hut doesn't like me, and thinks I'm somebody's 'crony', although he's quite civil in the pub

Don't take it to heart Attila. Most people on here aren't happy unless they are running other people down.

I don't take it to heart at all! As an occasional NSC visitor who knows a fair few of my fellow supporters and prefers good old social interaction I find it quite amusing, actually - the difference between the way some people are on here and the way they are in the bit that matters....... real life........

Nothing personal the club needs to move on that's the most important issue and become a proper football club with a real home attracting many new fans otherwise Falmer is pointless.

The idea of having the pre-match music selected by one of the fans is a BRILLIANT idea, IMO.

We always harp on about our club being different and innovative - we were all delighted when we had a record label as a sponsor - and this would be a fantastic idea to take forward.

Personally I would absolutely LOVE to have MY selection played before kick-off. It's not the music in itself, it's the fact that a FAN has been able to make a contribution.

My boy is 9 and we will have a Family Stand season ticket next year. He loves all the crappy chart stuff but he also loves 'Dad's music from the olden days'. He would be absolutely made up if he heard some of my choices (and maybe ONE of his) over the tannoy, irrespective of the sound quality!

Brilliant, brilliant idea - I really hope it can happen.

Hmmm. Not sure we've seen your application yet Uncle H. The committee will consider your request and get back to you.

I don't think anybody disagrees with this - but it's a long jump to then start the comments such as cronyism or other general cattiness that seems to pervade any comments you make in relation to those who do give a significant amount of voluntary effort. After all the club is minted now and so could, if they so wished, move on now.

The fact they havn't indicates that perhaps they are happy with the current position and as there are new people involved (ken brown, tony bloom etc) it seems to be less about cronyism and more about willing to take offers made.
