[themuel]

Official site news story

From the site..

We're pleased to announce that, due to popular demand, the Lions vs South Africa rugby match will be screened live at this year's Festival. It will be shown on the double-sided 25-metre-square Village

Screen at William's Green, at 2pm on Saturday 27th.

The Village Screen project is looking to engage and inspire Glastonbury's audience with the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and has been been awarded the London 2012 'Inspire' mark for its contribution towards the UK Cultural Olympiad and its lasting legacy. The screen will be on from 10am to 3am each day, broadcasting a mixture of specially-commissioned short films and archive Festival footage, as well as hosting gaming sessions.

The project is being supported by the network of London 2012 Creative Programmers, the UK's screen agencies, Arts Councils, the Legacy Trust, the BBC, Team South West and RELAYS.

Rolf!

[robith]

Rolf!

[Craig_G]

No way! Rugby will have to wait then.

[themuel]

Hahaha.

[devonhammer]

Given that there are only two types of people in the world (people I like and people who don't think Spinal Tap is one of the best films ever made) I shall sadly miss the rugby.

[alibear]

I can't believe my clashes extend beyond music. This is devastating! Think I'll have to miss the rugby......... Damn, damn, damn.

[harper11]

[Alcatraz]

Serves me right for doubting it

I'm still not going to watch it....unless Lee Mears starts

rolfs playing twice isnt he?

[dixietheduck]

I'll definitely be there for the bit of the match that doesn't clash with Rolf. Can't wait to hear my South African mate cheering when no one else is, haha!

[LusciousLucy]

That's pretty cool.

[jesusofsuburbia]

Im gutted to be missing the match, but I think the atmosphere, bands and multitude of things on offer at Glastonbury will more than make up for it somehow!! I watched the first game at my rugby club the other weekend and had an amazing time, but i will be missing some of the other games through work. Missing rugby through work is depressing, but to miss it because of Glasto....i can live with that!!! Come on,you Lions!!

[laid back in the sun]

golly chaps! rolf or the rugger?? how is one to decide?? crikey! rolfs such a bloody nice bloke tho, pimms anyone?

[remote]

There's a South African in our group who is dying to go and watch it.

Not sure if I would or not. Aslong as I find out the score I'll be happy. Saying that, I had a great time watching Spain win the Euros on a little portable tele surrounded by Spanish lads last year.

[hombrederayo]

I'm considering going to watch the game as there isnt much on music wise at that time that I really want to see, so if there is anyone else camping at gonna do the same give me a shout.

[grumpyhack]
