The number off people in a room, or if an event has been held a million times doesn't really guarantee a good night, they are merely historical facts.

Im just wondering, in this race to out do each other, what other titles they could come up with? The one that got me ranting was at the Blackpool Weekenders (You remember, the ones where the dancefloor had to be repaired every hour or two, and to get into the venuue you had to navigate past Blackpool weekender cups, and Northern Soul Towels.), when one DJ in particular would claim Blackpool to be the Brand Leader!! Yep. When I go out, I dont want to enjoy myself with soul fans, I want to be just another punter waiting to have my wallet lightened. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 (edited) Were they Scooter do's? Paul Unfortunately not ....... The Nuremberg Rallies (officially Reichsparteitag , meaning national party convention ) was the annual rally of the NSDAP ( Nazi Party ) in the years 1923 to 1938 in Germany , especially after Hitler's rise to power in 1933 , They were large propaganda events by the state . The Reichsparteitage were held annually at the Nazi party rally grounds in Nuremberg from 1933 to 1938 and are thus usually referred to in English as the Nuremberg Rallies . ......... After 1933 , the rallies were held in the first half of September , under the label of Reichsparteitage des deutschen Volkes ( "National Congress of the Party of the German People ") , which was meant to symbolize the solidarity between the German people and the Nazi Party . This point was further emphasized by the yearly growing number of participants , which finally reached over half a million from all sections of the party , the army and the state ....... My TIC reply was in respect of Paul S asking how a venue can be advertised , i.e. " Bigger than the Nuremberg Rallies " ........
