It’s a f**king disgrace. Any team that can have a squad with players with squad numbers of 80+ can quite comfortably cope with the odd Cup replay. All so Liverpool can have a lucrative away tie at FC Valletta or some other equivalently huge team in the pointless early stages of a European trophy they aren’t going to win.

Hobos are not a thing anymore unfortunately.

Split up

Can’t be bothered!

Payday today. Tickets now paid for. See you in August.

Have to wait until payday at the end of the month to get mine.

Nothing substantial on route to Net Zero, nothing on tackling pollution in rivers and coastline.

All soundbites and no substance. Not sure cancelling the remainder of HS2 would pay for all the infrastructure projects he rattled off, let alone including resurfacing all the roads.

Conservative Party deputy chair Nickie Aiken says Rishi Sunak is "right" to delay making a decision on the future of HS2. Aiken says the PM is looking "at the numbers with the chancellor" and considering "what is best for taxpayers' money”. "This is not the government's money. This is taxpayers' hard earned money," The Tories are not normally so concerned at wasting tax payers money when it suits them or benefits their mates!

Most of the Fens too. I might have a beach front property in about 20 years!

What are the odds that Rishi, his wife, or the extended family have a significant stake invested in oil/gas companies.

Met office app showing some rain Friday night but otherwise dry. BBC can't make their mind up as to whether it will be dry or a biblical downpour...changes at least 3 times a day!

Any campsite recommendations?

This is just the start. First marquees putting next year's village fetes at risk then they will start needing bigger tents like the acoustic and Woodsies putting Glasto 24 at risk. Then the Millennium Dome or whatever its called these days....

My tickets have been delivered today so I'm sure those of you still hoping to get tickets will see them appear for sale more regularly on Twickets from now on. Good luck.

Hobo Jones & The Junkyard Dogs appear to have vanished from the Big Top lineup.

Yes, going back for my 2nd visit (first being 2021).

Not sure if it happens so much these days but at one point the site was regularly buzzed by low-flying military jets (from Yeovilton?).

Not sure quite where the festival goes from now on. There were changes in the early 2000’s to try and encourage a slightly younger demographic. So we had general sales moved from Monday to Sunday so as to not disadvantage students. Then the deposit scheme to encourage other than middle classes. It seems that the demographic that the above was designed to accommodate are going to be priced out with year on year ticket price increases. I think the festival has to look at who it wants to attract. If students and lower income punters then will probably have to look at a Download style monthly direct debit scheme otherwise it becomes a boutique festival for those that want glamping and pamper parlours.

You could hear it on the BBC iPlayer live feed on Sunday night.

Not seeing Hobo Jones at 1pm on Avalon to proper kick start the festival.

Avalon Inn is usually one of the more expensive bars on site.

Love the avatar pic. Would Wessi be able to afford a pint of Guinness at Glasto!

Good luck with that. The wristbands at Glasto are put on pretty tight and with a metal securing thingy. Takes ages to get off after without cutting the wristband. Probably need to amputate your hand!

Avoid the exits.
