If England are playing during the festival then it's likely that the festival will show the match somewhere. They'd be too much chaos caused in the local area by perhaps tens of thousands of people leaving site to find somewhere to watch the match.

i knew the festival would, but in my opinion (ignore the scottish part ) it should not be shown after the rotten atmosphere about areas of the site the last time it showed an england match. the atmosphere turned quite horrible on some areas of campsites, leading to abuse being shouted at people. . . wasnt a very pleasant couple of hours at the festival and the only time ive ever been uncomfortable at glasto in 19 years.

still i understand it was a minority, but unfortunately there will always be this minority... football is better left out of the festival.

grumpy scot!

[glasgowpete]

Yes but we lost then.

I was woorking in the Crown and the atmosphere did change, had the remove a few people from the bar for being twats.. shouting obscenities, pushing a few people around and even a racist comment

I remember that 2004 match. It was a fantastic atmosphere where I was, in the pyramid field. Then after we'd lost, everyone was "ah well, it's Glastonbury, let's have a party".

This year:

- Weds, Thurs, Fri - final matches in the group stage

- Sat, Sun - first knockout matches

Kick off times are 3:00pm and 7:30pm

An England match on Weds or Thurs, I *guess* would almost certainly be shown on the Pyramid screens.

Fri/Sat/Sun matches - very tricky. I originally thought they'd show it somewhere like the cinema tent. But the more I think about that, the more I think it would end up with a huge crush of people trying to get in there. So perhaps a disruption to the Pyramid schedule would be worthwhile. I suppose it completely depends on the mood of the nation...

isn't this just as likely to happen without the football though? Anytime you stick hundreds of people in a tent with lots of booze you're bound to get some trouble at some point.

2004 was ace watching the match there, i thought the atmosphere was great. In fact, when England qualified this year one of the first things i checked was the glasto clash in anticipation........

I really hope they dont show it. Why pander to the whim of a few thousand tits?

If it's that important to people let them sod off and watch it in a pub in bristol or something.

Last thing I want to see is a load of bellends marching around the site chanting ridiculous songs about in-gur-lun winning world wars and other crass nonsense.

no need for any falling out

as Langers says, just tuck me up in the ale tent and I'll mutter and grumble away to myself quite happily for 90mins while everyone else thoroughly enjoys themselves

nice one. I see you are well into the glastonbury spirit of bringing people from different walks of life together and providing a diverse range on entertainment. I imagine the reason it sold out so quickly was because all of the football hoolies thought it would be a good venue to watch the world cup and have a good old scrap and cause trouble.

[Zen_Paul]

Personally I hope England is at Group B, So they can play their last group match on tuesday and if they win group stage they play sunday night 8.30, as we all too busy enjoying ourselves and preparing for the best headliner Glasto seen in ages..

[Storm_NL]

I like to think of glastonbury as a magical place to escape the mundanity and disgusting excesses of the real world.

I bet when others go on about Glasto being a hotbed for thiefs, drug dealers and violence you go on about blinkered people blah blah blah you defend it?. Get a grip.

Football nowadays, top level football that is, just about embodies everything that is wrong with the world today.

Why anyone would want glastonbury polluted by the grotesque thing that football has become is beyond me.
