Langdale Wolf Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 A-ha!! I'm not falling for that today of all days! Very good, Neil (or whoever wrote it). (There was a thread on a Wolves forum saying that our new owner had sold the ground to make room for luxury flats - a new ground was said to be built in Wednesbury. SO many people fell for it - I nearly did too if I'm honest!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I wonder if anyone will actually fall for it? I'm hoping that some other media outlet will pick up on it and run with it. I asked Emily a few weeks back if she'd have a problem if eFestivals did this - she laughed. And if the GF office get any calls about it, they might well give out a reply that they won't discuss aspects of this year's festival until the bands are announced in June.

Chocky Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Pretty sure that one has been used before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Pretty sure that one has been used before yeah, it was an idea invented during late-night happy hours during last year's fest, and posted on these forums soon after. It's been revamped a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuster Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I secretly fell for it (the mono-rail not the penguins) sounded like a good idea to me! it's a 5 day trek to the park stage when it's muddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdale Wolf Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 he's playing TITP, so maybe it's true..?? no worse than Kylie, Sugarbabes and a few others, and he has been to the fest... who's laughing now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ig1234 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I fell for this. I thought it was a good idea... Still.. I'm hoping Rock Werchter aren't playing with their lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i want to see the penguins! Anyone got a link?? btw the monorail is great, but seriously that would be a great idea to have at glasto! Even just a small one from say the pyramid stage to the jazz world or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eFestivals Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i've just been told that 6music have featured the mono-rail story .... but I don't know if they knew it was an april fool. I'm waiting to hear back from the person who told me to know whether they thought it was true or not - perhaps someone here heard it and knows?
