 Charlie D’s
Topic Originator: Luxembourg Par  
Date:   Sat 28 Sep 14:50

First time in here.

Whit a waste.

Live music too loud, with a couple of lubricated patrons howling along with the poor singer, most of them belting along, warbling well out of tune.

Maybe 45 people were in - what a waste of space.

Thought it would be nice change from Legends - not impressed.

What would be better? That`s a genuine question btw. Never been in Charlie Ds before. Sounds like the issue is a bunch of drunk old boys 😂

Btw - ‘poor singer’ was a vote of sympathy because of his ‘accompanyment’’ not a verdict on his singing…

Wasn’t complaining about someone being drunk in a bar - imagine that, being affected by alcohol in a place selling, well, alcohol…
The table next to us had 3 guys howling along to the music.

As for suggestions?
We went there as the steward at Legends said it was “awffy busy and there is more chance of getting served in Charlie D’s”
Change a ‘winning formula’ ?

Used to be great but they chased most away by only opening it intermittently.

No effort to get more seating in or anything like that either.

You are correct the music was too loud today. Becoming a wasted space through neglect.

You are right but he’s made no suggestion though has he? the guys that sing in Charlie d’s know their audience and know what tunes go down well plus I’m pretty sure it’s actually a fan that pays for the singer could be wrong though

I think the point is that 45 people is low, and some of those in there were ruining it for others. Each to their own but it doesn`t sound great based on that description. I`ve never been in so have no suggestions for improvements. I like a bit of live music but maybe needs to be more awareness of who`s performing? Who was it yesterday?

It’s supposed to be a bar at the football ground, prior to the match.
Nothing against live music - but I suggest this is not the time or place.
What next? Dim the lights, have a mirrored disco ball and a dance floor?

I imagine most people going for a beer before a football match typically want to talk - surprisingly - about the upcoming match, any music, be it live, jukebox or whatever, should be background noise, not the focus.

My ‘suggestion’ was that if Legends was too full to get served, then perhaps that formula was working and should be applied to Charlie D’s too.

As I said, nothing against live music, but ‘time and place’ for it is not pre-match at a football ground.
Further, the low attendance numbers suggest that most folk are similarly minded.

As much as I was disappointed yesterday with the turnout/atmosphere in Charlie D`s, the issue is not the live music.

It`s been there since the days of Save the Pars and is known for it. Atmosphere used to blow Legends away, which is full of stuffy centre stand types. (Yes, it is).

The issue is the club have done nothing to build on Charlie D`s, preferring not to open it for more games than most. People don`t know if they`ll be able to use it from week to week so have filtered off to other pre game establishments over time. The reason being `lack of bar staff`.

Making it more like Legends for someone who usually goes to Legends is not the answer.

Charlie d’s would probably be more busy but the fact is a lot of people aren’t going to the football with the guff they are seeing on the pitch.
I know at least 10/15 people who aren’t going who would regularly attend Charlie D’s and there will be more.

I use Charlie D`s, in fact I was in before yesterday`s game. Then Legends after the game. Result and performance aside the craic with friends and associates was great as usual.

I like the atmosphere, the people and the music in Charlie D`s, which has been a fixture for over a decade so any Pars fans using the hospitality facilities knows this. The regularity of it`s opening has been sporadic due to staff issues, but it`s open more often or not but it does affect the attendance. It was really busy pre-match against Falkirk and not so much yesterday (however some bored punter seen fit to count 45 which is just over 50% full). Legends post match was also poorly patronised and empty by 7.30pm. Tbh I don`t think anyone should be surprised at poor attendance in any capacity around the stadium on match days just now given what`s going on at the club. But I`ll do my best to keep putting my hard earned cash into the club.
The club have their Ops meeting on a Thursday and decide what facilities are going to be open and (now and again) I`ll ask someone at the club to confirm Charlie D`s is open. Then I`ll find out who`s arranged for providing the music (arranged by a fellow fan for years) and advertise it on the Pars Facebook pages, EEB, P&B and occasionally on here. I don`t think the club give it much consideration compared to other hospitality sections but it`s kinda been organic and left to fans to make of it what they will (to a degree). It works fine and I`ve never had anyone at the club moan about it in any way whatsoever.

To those being critical of the use of the space, criticising the booked artists ability, the insinuation of drunken fans make too much noise, you are of course entitled to your opinion, but my opinion is you`re speaking an absolute load of nonsense. The originator of this thread was in for about 20 minutes yesterday having never been in before and finds it within himself to provide an opinion that was both deliberately provocative and unnecessarily disparaging. I`ve no idea of the motive, but it smacks of puerile reasoning.
If you didn`t like the music, you have a choice to leave, if any fellow fans were getting on your nerves then why not say to them. I was sitting with my wife and friends right next to you and you said nothing apart to ask my wife if the chair next to her was free, which it wasn`t. You could have moved away, but strangely you didn`t.

Just to clarify there wasn`t any issues with behaviour at all and nobody was drunk, mortal, minging, out order, singing over the artist. In fact everyone seemed to enjoy it, apart from you.
Cheer up min.

You`ve never patronised the bar/space but you`ve made time to make silly unsubstantiated and ill-informed assumptions like those quoted above. Yep, absolute genius.

The absolute state of some of the comments here. Folk slating the place who have either never been, or only been once commenting on whether it should be changed/closed to suit them when they never spend a penny in the place?

It’s busy every match day, and usually you can’t get in beyond 1.30pm, so your suggestion that everyone agrees with you is, quite frankly, utter p*sh.

If you want to rustle a crisp bag and pretend you’re in a library go next door to legends and leave Charlie D’s as it is for the folk that enjoy it.

Only reason it was quiet yesterday is in case you haven’t noticed, the team has been utter dug meat recently. Pretty much the same reason hospitality wasn’t full, there was no match ball sponsor yesterday, and the crowd was about 400-500 down in what it usually is.

It’s all about enhancing the match day experience. As we know the football hasn’t been great but for a lot of people it’s not just about the 90mins on the park. Some of us like to go for a few beers before and after the match. Charlie Ds is known for being a live music venue before pars matches and for the majority of fans that go there that’s what they enjoy. The club want to open Charlie Ds on every home match sometimes they struggle to find the staff. For me the club make every effort for everyone who visits the club to have an enjoyable time. If the team win then that’s a bonus. If some fans don’t enjoy live music in Charlie Ds or a Dj in Legends then in the nicest possible way go elsewhere. I do believe that the majority enjoy having music in both venues. It tends to be the minority that like a moan. I think they are very selfish and putting themselves first before thinking about others or about the club they are supposed to support.

Apparently there was a poll taken in Legends to see what folk thought of the music in Legends, funny though, those first 3 tables at the speaker ( around 20 fans were not asked their opinion. Then subsequently I have been fibbed to by 2 senior peeps at the club. That 20 people that used to go to legends is now down to around 5. It’s a shame really. Mind you it was better on Saturday I could even hear my crisp paper rustle.

Well that seemed to go down well...

Just before I reply, I`d like to enquire as to how many times I am required to attend before I am entitled to have a valid opinion?

ok - let`s start

45 people isn`t a great turnout or use of space, regardless of the music.
If it`s normally much busier and I hit a low day, then fair enough
- but given that Legends was apparently `rammed`, it can`t just be the miserable football causing the lack of `punters`.

I did not critisise the artist`s ability, in fact, I expressed sympathy for him, even adding a post to clarify my use of the word `poor` -
"not a verdict on his singing…"

The music was, imho, too loud for a football bar, I wasn`t aware that it was a gig setting rather than background music.
- Roger Daltrey above seems to agree;
"You are correct the music was too loud today"
inferring perhaps that it was louder than normal?

"if any fellow fans were getting on your nerves then why not say to them"
Ohhhh - you`re suggesting that immediately upon entering a bar for the first time, I start telling a group of existing patrons to `shut it`?
I`ll take that under advisement, but humbly suggest that it`s not really a great line to take.

The table I was referring to appears to be the very one occupied by NW_1966, the loudest `out-of-tune-belter` was sitting, leaning back against the wall, next to the nice lady I spoke (politely) to - you perhaps?
Methinks maybe thou doth protest too much...

Besides, I said `lubricated` - not "drunk, mortal, minging, out order", however "over the artist" most definitely (note that I didn`t say `singing` :D )

Anyway, NW_1966 - do we know each other?
I didn`t recognise anyone at your table - apologies if I failed to remember you from years gone by.

However, I didn`t think me or my brother were particulary famous in Dunfermline to be instantly recognised and identified - please advise.

Otherwise, was it a `spit-and-sawdust` moment where someone from outwith the "Charlie D clique" dared to enter your domain?
And, OMG, had the cheek to buy a pint and have an opinion?
- In future, am I required to ask permission? give advance notice? sing along?
(be advised, my singing is probably worse than yours...)

Go to legends for a more chilled out experience or Charlie D’s for a more vocal live music experience…most clubs would love a choice to give their fans options but yet again someone who has come over gives their opinion as he’s a .net supporter!


Legends was alright until they got a boy playing music now you can hardly hear the boy next to you. The music choice is guff as well to be fair.


Have you told him the music choice is guff? he’s open to suggestions on what to play


He played take that on Saturday that`s about as bad as the first half performance.


So that’s a no then 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for proving once again that you would rather have a bitch and moan on .net than actually take up your issue with the person at fault

There wasn`t anyone there to tell if there was the qué for him to turn the music down or off would have been bigger than the one for the bar.

c'mon the pars

The music is not needed , but if they are to have it , make the volume low enough that folk can speak to someone sitting next to them

You can pre program a play list and leave the booth. Been able to do that for years. However that is not the issue obviously. I have politely spoke to the DJ and Alister and was treated to like something that they had stood on. However enhancing the match day experience eh?

First time in here.

Whit a waste.

Live music too loud, with a couple of lubricated patrons howling along with the poor singer, most of them belting along, warbling well out of tune.

Maybe 45 people were in - what a waste of space.

Thought it would be nice change from Legends - not impressed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait till the game starts - Then you`ll really have something to moan about.

It`s very easy to press play and basically any software in the world can play through a playlist.

All the garbage baiting and inherent negativity aside, good to see those who use Charlie D`s on match days saying so.

Hopefully fans will continue to attend on matchdays in good numbers and hopefully local musicians like Jock Gallagher, Stevie Agnew and Gordon Rowan continue to provide their musical services (sure they will). We`ve seen loads of away fans in over the years and I remember a few saying they`d like to see something similar at their own grounds. I think it`s probably unique to have this type of set up in Scotland. I know on the continent they have music in fan zones pre-match, maybe we can develop the situation further as it`s all about the match day experience.
In summary we`ll continue to arrange music and advertise it on social media as long as the club don`t have an issue with it, which they haven`t at any time in the last 10 year or so. It brings in cash and gives pleasure to those who use it, so all very positive.
