Its because they have a new digital music box player which a MUCH wider range of music from various decades than just Saxon, Def Leppard and Axel Rose ... Mind you I always did think that the Sportsman had undertones of being a gay venue for macho men considering the number of rough denim, leather clad, tattooed men that go in there to eye each other up ;-)

Appreciate the jukebox post Carbo, but the dj is 'making choices' as to which music is played.As usual, i'm not in the bleedin' loop. Somebody knows summat!!!

[Ghostrider 11]

Nope its not a gay pub...the jukebox is playing "apparently" random tracks that have been programmed in by the engineers....they chose that kind of stuff knowing its a rock bar as it will encourage people to put money into it - old trick by the companies that rent them out.

It might not be a gay bar - but it's a top blooming pub!

So is it not even gay friendly then ?

Does it matter :huh:

 

Every pub with gay people in becomes "gay friendly"

[KTHFB 10]

It's just not classified as a "gay bar" is all. I've got friends who love it in there!

What is your problem with pubs not being gay pubs. One minute you want integration with everyone else, the next you want segregation, make your mind up which you want, if you want segregation, why not go and hide back in your closet.
