[Uh-Oh!]

Think there should definately be a restriction on the number of people over 6'2 entering the festival and anyone over 6'2 should disclose their height when purchasing a ticket.  When entering the ground anyone suspected of being breach of this should be made to go under a height barrier and refused entry if its found they have lied on their application.

Those tall people that do get in should be made to stand at the back of all the music venues to allow us short arses to get a clear view of the bands and the security team should be robust in enforcing this. I sincerely hope Mr Eavis makes note of this for 2013

deffo agree with this!   especially those tall people with hats on and wearing a backpack and carrying a flag!  

in fact, i think they should have an area at the front just for people 5'2" and under!

I LOVE being 6 Foot 7. And I wear a big hat.

Sorry if any tall people find this thread offensive. I mean no offence by it, actually I have many friends who are tall

They should be made to sit on chairs! Then we could trip over their long legs instead!

I do, I do. I find the smallest people I can find and stand right in front AND put my umbrella up!...even when it's not raining!

i dont mind so much about not seeing the bands if someone tall is infront,but when you get some one taller behind you,leaning on your shoulder!   , takes the piss!.

the best post i've seen today!

I speak on behalf of all tall people in saying tough shit.

I will happily move if politely asked and I'm very conscious about whether I'm in someone's way, but when short little twits think they are superior and must see the band instead of me then piss right off.

Great a 12'0 totem pole, that's kind of inconsiderate, even for tall people.

True, and we get to go backstage between Pyramid and Other Stage so we can make use of VIP hospitality  
And as the viewing platform is high and I am 5'10 I am the tallest at the festival!!!

Cool! Is it true that the flushers in the portaloos are gold plated backstage?

I think the viewing platforms and other things for disabled people are a nice touch TBH, everytime I felt my feet wishing that I'd worn walking boots instead of wellies, I just closed my eyes, pictured the wheelchairs being pushed around onsite and all the pain went away.
