I like flags (AND pigeons on sticks of course) but esp the good flags and there always are some *really* good ones every year :D amongst all the predictable boring old usual cr@p :D ... although I also buy tix to attend festivals so I can watch bands not the bl**dy flags no matter how good some of them might be !! If I wanted to enjoy some serious flag-porn then I'd be a regular subscriber to Flag Aficionado mag and attend all the flag/banner related events around the world rather than buying a Glasto ticket instead :D

Can we have a "Let's have millions of flags in the campsite instead of in front of the stages" option please :)

Flags by the tents are excellent,flags any place else NO. I would love to meet the owner of the I Love Sausage Flag.*@~## twat,and whats the point in football club flags and national flags..there all a pain in the f**k**g arse. Its a festival not a sports event. I would love to see the reaction in one of our Prem football stadiums if they all started waving bloody big banners and flags through the whole game,and i'm sure they would just love the I Love Sausage Flag being waved ??????

That's what I thought!  However if you mean in front of the stages then NO!  They are fine further back and at the campsites but, when it's just to show your mates where you were in the crowd when watching the highlights  :D

  :D :D :)  

On the case as always Al! well done fella...

I voted No out of resentment due to the inability to see when nearer the stage, however they do add some fun to the afternoon gigs on a Sunday...

But generally my vitriol would be aimed at umbrellas!  :D

Yes, Arena. You guys have some problem with the word ARENA perhaps ? It's clearly marked on the official Glastomap and all that ... you mean you haven't been there, seen it and bought the tee shirt etc  :D

I share your pain with umbrellas tho Mr.Strudders, and that's pain as in quite literally having had my eyes nearly gouged out by the bl**dy things several times at glasto and elsewhere.  Grrr, just buy a fcuking hat or b*gger off elsewhere with your huge F/O great umbrellas you loada wusses ! It's only water FFS, it wont kill you and all that but I really don't feel the need to experience your fair share of said water as well as me own :)

seconded lol

Campsites I think they are cool.   But come on the amount that were about the stages this year was a joke.  First time I have not bothered looking at the stage and spent all my time looking at the screens.

There does seem to be alot, as long as it's not just to get on TV (as I recon most of them are) I think it's ok.
