Well, I've played about 20% of these at one time or another. And I've grabbed a couple of suggestions for tomorrow.

Without wanting to open up a second front, isn't the point that most of these songs are oldies selected by South Standers who a) can't hear the music and b) won't be in the ground at that time.

Please, something current that might keep the kiddies in the family stand entertained.

:wozza:

sorry:(

I don't listen to modern music as the stations that tend to play it fill in their advert breaks with " GO COMPARE" which drives me round the f***ing bend

I'm not having a pop at people posting on here. This was (I thought) a purely hypothetical thread. My main gripe is that the only part of the ground that is anywhere near full when the music is playing or can actually hear it is in the family stand where we really need to do everything to get the kiddies there and wanting to come back. Ergo, aim the music at that demographic.

With all due respect, playing Led Zep will appeal to few kiddies.


(and a big point of music is to offend the generation that went before. If it does that then it's doing its job).

I totally agree and a few years ago I can remember John and I having this discussion of a train coming back from some away game. Essentially I suggested playing stuff that the youngsters would relate to would make them feel more "part of it"....his reply, which was totally reasonable was that he wasn't in the business to play trashy commercialised stuff.

That is why I asked the question earlier about performing rights.....are we allowed to play stuff in the charts at the ground?

Short answer it 'yes'.

Seeing as the club has a licence to publicly play music, it can play (within reason) what it likes.

Buzzer - half the time the family stand seems to me to be one of the emptiest parts of the ground, except when there is some sort of special day on...I do take your point but Gully's Girls do entertain the kids and presumably they know the song they dance to? I don't think you can aim an entire 11 minutes of music at 10% of the demographic based on a thread between about 100 people on a message board. You obviously do, go for it, we'll see the response (and I mean in the ground, not just on NSC!)

The low point of a number of inappropiate song choices was when a song with F**K in was played on a family day when I'm stood there with a 4 and 6 year old - I stand there so they don't hear swearing and then it is played out on the tannoy.

Reading between the lines you really really don't want to play anything aimed at that demographic do you? And unless my selection of chart stuff doesn't get overwhelming approval you'll view that as case proven - the kids prefer Sham 69.

Christ sake man. Choose your Led Zep and Oasis songs from this thread, let someone else play them and come and sit in the Family Stand and see how it goes down. As I have said earlier, no one else seems to hear it or is that bothered so please please use it as an opportunity to grab the kiddies attention. We need every trick in the book to keep them wanting to come to Withdean. You've had 10 years of your stuff. It's been your sole choice.

Not sure there's any point me choosing a selection in a few weeks time, to be honest. As a one-off it will achieve the square root of sod all. I think Dave's comment about you not being in the business of playing commercial stuff speaks volumes.
