Did anyone have the unfortunate event of bumping into the manc robbers on the orange campsite. They arrived 3 in the morn and camped next to us. They were mortal on beer and drugs and went on like right t*ts!! They were jumping on peoples tents and were pinching stuff out of tents. Luckily the police saw them and chucked them all off about 3 o clock saturday afternoon. They had pinched loads of mobiles and a also had a big bag of drugs... If they hadnt been kicked off it would have ended in a fight as they were so out of order. On the sunday another group of mancs were chucked off aswell for thieving. There are loads of undercover police around the fest. Apart from that the weekend was class.

We had the (mis)fortune of seeing two guys (not sure whether they were mancs) darting in and out of a couple of our groups' tents. I'm glad we decided to go back to the tent for a chill else we might not have caught them in the act....
A couple of the guys chased them off but couldnt catch them.
There were also three kn*bs who were attempting to push over the toilets in Orange late last night....
If I had been a little more compus mentus I think I probably would've given the little runts a taste of their own medicine. There's no need for this and I really hope they get their comuppance.

Yeah - they set up behind us and behaved like a right bunch of tossers, they jumped on one of our groups' tent and we caught them going into one of our tents too - then one had the cheek to come scrounging for a light (was swiftly told to do one!). One of the lads with us had a word with security and they sent undercover police to watch them. One of them was folllowed to the toilets and got caught with a bag of mobiles and drugs. They were excorted out on Sat afternoon but 2 of them were back sat behind our tent late on last night. Bunch of knob heads only had 1 ticket between them all but give the police and security their due they did try to sort the trouble quickly!! Shame idiots like that try to spoil it for the rest of us!!
On a similar note anyone see the idiots in the same are of Orange with a fire going late Sunday night?? Not trying to rain on anyone's fun but masive camp fire round that much nylon is plain stupid!!
Fab weekend had by all despite some muppets

Sadly I saw a bit of that sort of cr@p in red too but what was great was the security seemed to care and nicked the two lads.
They also chucked some people out who made a massive explosion about 5:30 this morning.

Might try yellow next yr near to north 2 parking if we can get in there again for parking.

This year was the first time I have seen people fighting at V Festival. The first one was in orange camp just by tower 20.
Some bloke was kicking off and throwing camping chairs about. It wasnt great to be honest.
Didn't note the accent so couldnt tell you if he was a manc but he did say "innit" so I would say definite chav

I was on the left hand side of where you first moved in, by the first watch tower, so i wasn't too far in green really

oh, i had my chair nicked too... not the one that I broke because I sat on it ... whoops.

Scary thing was, your chair was right outside my tent, I was IN my tent, cos I'd borrowed your chair to eat my pod noodle
only popped in to get changed, then when I came back out again, your chair had gone!!!

Sunday night in Orange wasn't plesant, we had 3 or 4 idiots behind us who decided to go around chucking chairs on peoples tents and shouting wake up you boring b**tards at 3am. To be fair the first two nights were fine where we were tucked away in a corner of Orange, so no idea where these idiots appeared from.

We were in green, a bit of a way down from the burger van and although it was chilled out and no knobheads two of our camp's tents get raided............while they were in them!! They knicked a bag and wallet with £200 quid but found nothing in the other. The tent they got the wallet from was one with an extra inner, the scruffy theif unzipped the outer........then the inner and leant in between their airbeds for the bag and got out without them knowing!!!
Good time had by all but shame about the odd twat!!

the explosion was a bunch of scousers camped near to us (i assume your on about the explosion up the hill near to tower 18?) well anyway they chucked a gas can on the fire, anybody (except maybe these scousers) could predict what happened next. anyway we woke up and a few of there tents were burned down.
it was the same twats who wouldent shut the f**k up for 3 whole days all day and night singing "i had a wheelbarrow and the wheel fell off" ok fair enough, people sing mad songs. but not for that long! seriously its all i heard at the campsite!

Spoke to a bobby on the Sun night, they were scousers not mancs so guess that explains it.

They were definitely Mancs mate - they were directly behind my tent and had the pleasure of listening to them shout and bawl at each other and threaten to 'dive everyone's f**king tents' all night. Worst thing was they weren't kids - they were 40+ year old blokes and 30+ women!

Me and a couple of friends were laid out in one of our groups tents after Oasis having a drink and these idiots tried to raid one of our groups tents. They didn't like being caught in the act put it that way. Swiftly told where to go.

Was our first time at V, or any festival actually, expected quite a few idiots but was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't that bad. We kept out the way in Silver as we got there quite late after being at a gig the night before, from the more experienced lot, was it quite a mellow festival in terms of people acting like tools?
