Send in the Clowns.
Many fans plan to boycott season tickets if sleepball failed tactician Critchley stays.
To fuel more, so he goes, Parr should play the R.E.M. song Losing My Religion.

I love it but it's very age specific stuff, the whole pre match,half time agenda is a joke really.

Me and my lad tend to get there early and it's the same playlist every game. Like others have said some are decent songs but a change would be nice. I'm sure Tony Parr was in charge of Radio Wave's playlist from back in the day!!

I am not sure if the band exactly… but I think he also plays a James song … which is bloody awful
The current pick seems apt, if season ticket holders renew under Critchley.
With the ground's funereal air, given soporific play, stick to Enjoy the Silence.

And that dreadful walk on Song "Eye of the Tiger", dreadful.

My current feelings make me think of "Things can only get better - D Ream" as a tongue in cheek pre match song
However, on a more serious note I think a good walk on song would be Thunderstruck by AC/DC

Am I the only one who thinks we could do with some fresh blood as a match day announcer? TP isn’t exactly notorious for getting the fans going is he? I hear other ones at other clubs and they’re absolutely electric, and have a real knack of creating a buzz within the crowd.
It’s tragic we’ve still got some old geezer on the mic.

How about a pre-match of Blackpool songs: Nolans, George Formby, Jethro Tull. Any others?

Having heard how the darts crowd sang the whole song last night, I would love to him play Mr. Bright-side by The Killers just before kick off. What a belter that would be if the North stand sang it.

It is reinforced at away games, pretty much anywhere, that they have an announcer that is vaguely professional… you then come back to Bloomfield Rd and you’re dragged back into toe curling ‘can I have a go Sir?’ MCing…
I appreciate there are bigger fish to fry but it is so amateurish. It also is a direct link to the Oyston era - for that reason alone from a PR perspective, I’d have got rid years ago.
And it’s not ‘oh he’s a top lad’ stuff either - that’s not the criteria for a professional club sending out a guy ‘giving it a go’ with a Norman Collier mic

I think if I had to listen to The Smiths at the end of every home game, I'd have to leave early. That would be worse than critchball.Bloody walk on song.
It's football not boxing.
Bit of music beforehand, again at HT, then some Smiths as we all try and get over another pile of shite as we leave the ground.

The Cure and Ricky 'Aye Aye She ' Tomlinson with You Looking At me. Throw in Steeleye Span with a bit of Gaudete and you're there with all things Blackpool.

Fatboy Slim would struggle with our PA system, good luck whipping up an atmosphere with something you can only hear in the bogs.

An issue I've done many, many times. It only needs one serious accident....

Not worth playing anything with the sh1te sound setup we currently have. Thought that'd be one of the first things to be ripped out.
