LOL.

Yeah, you know I have absolutely no f**king interest in England, bunch of arseholes, but it would be really nice to have all the matches on somewhere (a screen in the old cinema field), so I could spend a pleasant 90 minutes watching a bit of footy. I think it would be great. Really nice idea.

funny (or is it sad?) how some people are so against the idea though. i can't stand pan pipes, but i bet they'll feature at some point over the weekend, and if people want to listen to them, that's fine by me. i just won't be there beside them. but i certainly won't be saying 'why are you going to glastonbury and then worrying about watching pan pipes!? there are thousands of dodgy busker bands playing pan pipes in shopping centres up and down the country every weekend!!!!??!!'

Ever heard of pan pipe violence

Gangs of racist panpipe fans beating the shit out of anyone who isn't them... screaming xenophobic chants and with links to extreme right wing "political" groups.

Big problem round here

So to summarise - you want millions of people across the country to be disappointed just so you don't have to read about it on a message board?

I dont care about the messageboard, it is the actual festival I care about.

Football matches turn people into idiots. If england going out means this can be avoided then yes, I couldnt care less whether millions of people I dont know across the country are disappointed

But pan pipes would qualify as a performing art so is obviously welcome at Glastonbury. So what's your point again?
