    I've seen a few crates on trolleys go under the coach before. I've also been on a few times where it didn't look like everyone's bag was going to fit let alone everyone with trolleys of beer.

     

    I personally wouldn't risk a trolley of ale unless you're prepared to leave it at the coach stop.

     

    I've always been lucky with a friend going down in a car - this is definitely the best way (just go meet your friend in the carpark!).

    Bottle of decanted spirits in the big bag and there's always the shuttle bus to a supermarket?

     

    One of our camping group who drives buys the beers for those who are arriving by coach. Then on the Thursday there is a group stroll out to his car to get the beer. It's all very civilised apart from the year when he ended up parked in what felt like the next county and it took forever to get out there.

    Anyone know the score with coach times from Edinburgh? Took a National Express last time which left Tuesday evening, arrived at the site first thing Wednesday morning - hoping for something similar but not sure how many/what time the official coach(s) run

     

    Again this is 2nd hand info, but the times I had were 9 and 10:30 pm on the Tuesday.

    When torn as to who to see my first port of call is Youtube - to find footage of live gigs to see engagement with audience or lack thereof.

    As much as I love some music the bands that just arrive, play it and say a 'thank you' every 4th track are bands I tend not to see live. I want to be entertained, I want to be puled out my box and played with so to speak.

     

    It's a good point. Listening to The Scratch off the Avalon announcement, they sounded like the sort of thing I would enjoy. Watching them on YouTube shifted them up to a "must be there" act.

    I mean, 2020/21 is the covid title isn't it? Least for Liverpool it was practically won when March 2020 came along.

     

    Yeah, that was the one with no fans apart from a trial game or 2 near the end. If Liverpool had beaten Watford (1 of only 3 league losses that season), it would have been over Before the season was suspended.

    yeah, i only found out about that after the event!

     

    (one of the perils of never reading the program 😀)

     

    did you go to it?

     

    Yeah but it was late, I was knackered, I was largely unimpressed. Great venue that one, never really gets a mention.

     

    I have one really bad photo of it.

    I appear to have passed a very blury Arcadia to get there.

    i'm pretty sure the last time they played was also on the Avalon stage, at least i dont recall seeing them since then? 

     

    2010. They also did a punk covers set in The Luna Sea.

    Interesting there’s nothing definate really yet … a couple of rumours about something to replace spider but don’t think anything strong @Gnomicide I think had some info but how confident is he ? 

     

    I don't think it's giving anything away to say they are using the helicopter to make something new, it's not just a helicopter.

     

    I believe what I've been told to be true but you know, it's Arcadia, there's always the chance of a spanner in the works.

     

    Given we're over 2 months away, I wouldn't have thought they've given up on it yet.
