    Stop when the sight of young people enjoying themselves starts to ruin the festival for you.

    If young people enjoy themselves half as much as we did then that's fine,although it will be fooking hard

    I'm not thinking of giving up just wondered what the consensus was regarding older festival goers. The festival is better now than it was back in the day, I know some people say it's lost its edge but since the fence went up it feels much safer than it did. Some years leaving stages after a band finished was a scary affair. Only thing I miss is being able to camp on the wicket ground (our regular pitch for many years)

    what do you folks think about older people going to the festival, I have been going forever and just wondered is there a time to stop? I'm 57 BTW.

    The most disgusting video I have ever seen about Glastonbury, I knew stuff was left behind but not on that scale, truly shocking.

    You cannot blame the retailers for selling stuff cheap, it is still the festival goers responsibilty to take home all that they bring and dispose of properly.

    It looks like some folks left EVERTHING behind WTF is that all about???

  13. Will the travel problems be communicated to the senior organisers

    I've heard some people talk of car accidents on arrival to the site on Wednesday, but don't car accidents happen every year given the volume of traffic? My arrival jouorney was increased by 6 hours and my leaving journey was increased by 4 hours.

    This really does make me think twice about next year. Surely it must affect many people's enjoyment and memory of the festival?

    Does anyone know if the people that should listen to these problems are aware of them?

  14. How can Glasto be improved in 2010?

    in Chat

    Few things

    1. What about staggering arrival days with different tickets, with camping allocated in the same way.

    2. Ban chairs from the main stages.

    3. Try and gauge the size of crowds, Rolf Harris should have been on the Pyramid Stage (same with Ting Tings on the JP last year)

    Thats about it, all in all a great weekend (exept for the a**hole who almost ran down a young carpark marshal as she tried to stop him queue jumping this morning)

    I do this thread every year.. it helps get even more juices flowing

    For me it was my first Glasto when The Skatalites started Guns of navarone.

    I started crying with the sheer joy of hearing one of my favorite tunes

    And actually being at Glasto

    Lamb : Avalon stage

    Whats your moment?

  16. Taking Mugs to Glasto

    Im thinking of taking some mugs to glastonbury. Do you think I'll get my bag checked on the way in or do you think I'll be safe enough.

    Failing that, is there anywhere I can by these ceramic delights on site?

  18. My housemate is doing my head in.

    Sorry this is totally off topic i.e. it has nothing to do with either Glastonbury OR swine flu... But my housemate is seriously getting on my nerves. I am a clean person, but I don't feel the need to constantly disinfect things. She on the other hand does, and I am in the unfortunate position of living with my landlady so I just have to sort of grin and bear it. This is the woman who didn't fancy Glastonbury because her boyfriend wouldn't come (he is not a 'festival type' whatever that is...), mind you she would probably have been hoovering the Brothers bar so it is just as well. So anyway, I just fancied a rant.

    :ph34r:

    And on a sidenote, anyone looking for an amazingly lovely flatmate in London?

    Please feel free to rant too.

    :)

  19. "Scaremongering"

    in Chat

    Posted

    Eveeryone seems to be giving the media a hard time for scarmongering over swine flu.

    I've seen many say this is exactly what happened before, and we were told everyone was gonna die from bird flu.

    This just simplt isn't true - bird flu only affected birds. Bird flu was a warning that the virus is one step away from mutating to infect humans.

    Well now that mutation has happened - THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.

    It would be terrible if events such as glasto were cancelled, but please don't dismiss is as simple scaremongering. What's happening now is unprecedented.

  21. For everyone that thinks Glasto should be 'younger'

    in Chat

    Posted

    I think the names already announced have set the tone. We're certainly not getting any Arctic Monkeys or Radioheads.

    How many 17 year olds do you think can name more than one Bruce Springsteen or Neil Young songs?

    I'm not saying that the Glasto headliners are bad, or that Glastonbury should be for young people, but that it certainly looks like the headliners are catering for the older populace at the moment.

    Last year was fantastic! what a buzz
