"Can I just say it's complete bollocks we r going up to 10k people on the site it will stay the same. I like it just the way it is. Except we'll be getting the tipi tent spot on for next year and maybe a pool table for the games area. Lots of love, need to rest now x PS We are also getting rid of the turd looking fag stall."

So there ya have it, straight from the horses mouth

[Wiggum]

Nice one.

[Insomaniac]

Nice!!! Just booked my tickets for next year too, so glad things are getting sorted. Was annoying not being able to see acts in the Tipi tent this year.

Didn't see the point of the big cigarette stall as it never looked busy. Every time I walked past it just seemed the two bimbos and goons in combat pants were chatting to each other.

[Swindlebiscuit]

Bueno.

Especially the bit about the pool table!

Haha, I noticed this too. Nice bimbo's though....

I hope you're both enjoying a well earned rest

[marooned]

Thanks for your 'most eloquent' post on this matter, Alex - and, just in case anyone is in any doubt, I'M VERY GLAD that my 'whispering grass' got it WRONG!!!






BUT, is there any truth in the rumour that it's gonna fkn piss down next year........

If needed I could perhaps live with the capacity going up an extra 500 giving an extra 60 grand revenue, but no more than that.

Sort out a proper connect four, the one you had in the woods was only 6 spaces across instead of 7. Very nearly ruined my weekend that did.

Yeah, and while we're at it the hula hoops were way too small...

Good to see the organisers responding so quickly to the feedback. I'm sure next year will be even better

[sadwitch]

Yes there were a very poor selection of hula hoops!

[Lauz_Abbott]

haha that 'turd looking fag stall' was a bit ugly and pointless!!!

Personally I'd rather pay a bit extra for my ticket than the capacity go up if it was a question of getting in more revenue. It was a bargain for all those bands I loved I got to see, I would never have got that at any other festival this year.

[Tmeister]

Thats good to know that its not bumping the capacity up more i like it the way it is

Damm - I saw the heading but didn't notice the original date.

Thought we had had a message from Simon.

Good times, good times

[Maoster]

Was this the last time we actually had any comms from Simon/Sofia? Wish they had stuck to original principles....

[Fareham Grecian]

Well found pp. So although S&S did stick to their word last year (2010), something made them change their minds this? I wonder what and why? It would be nice if they still talked to us...

[Infinite Jest]

There was a comment on this forum, with a message from Simon, regarding the capacity, a couple of months ago. It was a bit buried in another thread though. I'll try to dig it up at some point.

[Maoster]

Bump - Infinite Jest did you find it?
