A Sky Sports News exclusive, Dave Sweetmore is set to leave his post at Dale at the end of the season.
The SSN reporter said something along the lines of, 'Sad news for anyone who's been to this ground as Rochdale play the best music in the league.' [Post edited 21 Mar 2017 22:19]

Gutted about this, live the music at the Dale and it kind of gives us a real identity. There will always be those that complain about it but I think most people under 45 enjoy it, certainly those I have spoken with. Guess we will have to put up with standard Radio 1 rubbish now!
I hope the club take the DJ recruitment seriously, even better, hope Dave Sweetmore can recommend. |  |

Saw on Facebook he's moving on to a new venture in the Lake District. End of an era for Spotland. |  |

I actually hoped for Clint, but doubt it very much. He does a stint with GMR now. | |

Not sure being a 'tannoyman' would be on his radar, but you never know... | |

I wonder if the guy who plays Chesney Hawkes fancies it full time? |  | | |

Hopefully they'll mix the music up a bit and not have the same songs every week. Fair enough have the same genre if you want but it's literally the same song by the same artists every week.
Probably refreshing for away fans as a one off. Horrendously tedious as a home fan. | | | |

You obviously don't pay that much attention. | |

We now leave going in the ground to as late as possible, just can't even speak to your mates.
Ludicrously loud in the Pearl St. It's embarrassing and painful at times.
half time can be as bad.
It's supposed to be background music |  | | |

That news is certainly music to my ears!!! Why not get the new Pearl Street singing choir to blast out a few choons over the HT period!!?? | | | |

If you write them then that sounds like a great idea. |  | | |

A win-win for everyone.
If we want a unique voice, why don't we get a woman in?
This news + the 4000 expected extra fans + our new singing section could have Spotland bouncing. |  |

I get the volume issue, I really do. The music in the Pearl Street is far too loud. I’ve noticed it more this season, for some reason. I find trying to have a conversation akin to being in a nightclub.
That said, and it’s personal preference, I really like the music Dave Sweetmore plays. Factory Records, Madchester-era music is my thing. I totally get it that it isn’t everybody’s, though.
So, while I can happily be self-indulgent (save the volume level), I appreciate that a bit more variety will have more of a chance of hitting the mark. |  |

The crucial point that someone made earlier is that it is intended to be BACKGROUND music.
It isn't the choice or genre of his music that irritates per se, (though it is repetitive) it is the ridiculously loud volume.
Match days should provide opportunities for people to have a chat and openly discuss whatever goes on. That's impossible at the moment and it's ridiculous that we have to shout, just to get the person in the next seat, to be able to hear. | |

Perhaps we could adjust the volume based on the number of season tickets we sell - might be a greater incentive than reducing the price. | | | |

Thank god for that.... |  |

I thought the volume being too loud in some areas was down to a poor sound system rather than Sweetmore. I personally will miss the character and uniqueness Sweetmore's music gives us. Thinking of the Dale matchday experience in years to come and I bet various fans will say ' what about their great/shite music!' |  | | |
