world cup

[Familiar2billions]

Analogue reception stops in the Bristol area in March 2010... so I guess Glastonbury probably won't have any reception.

Do they do digital portable TVs?

[Langdale Wolf]

Ah Wolfie, you're so fickle. You'll suck up to anybody who might have TV coverage!

[paulo999]

I reiterate - Eavis will do what is the safest thing for the people at the festival.

[Langdale Wolf]

No disagreement there. The last time this happened - in 1998 - the game was shown.

No way of knowing for sure this time, as you say, but I'll bet you a pint of your festival favourite it will be shown somewhere.

[airds]

don't need play TV, just remote play your PS3 and access the BBC/ITV websites which are bound to be showing it live. Alternatively take a laptop.

The pure fact that this thread has been at the top of this froum for a lot longer than that of the U2 or muse thread proves that the football needs to be shown...

FTR I can't remember the last time i watched football

Hope they show the quarters so we can see the inevitable scenario of england getting put out on penalties!

[llcoolphil]

You're not, by any chance, a season ticket holder at Ibrox are you?

Ah look - a picture of a sunny Glastonbury before the Scotland World Cup match is shown on the big screen:

Ive been conscripted to another fanbase next year by my brazilian girlfriend and her family. Itll be a whole new experience supporting a team at the world cup who could possibly win it

For F##ks Sake.

Look, I'm a massive Glasto music fan, but at the end of the day, I will miss any band to watch England in the World Cup. There's no way ME will refuse to show the game somewhere, cuz even if 5% of people on site wanna watch it, if they left the site to watch it, it'd put the future of the festival into doubt with the chaos that would result.

Oh yeah, and just for arguments sake, if we won the group and the German's came 2nd... ME has to plan for something like this being a possibility.

[fullfathom5]

It's irrelevant where they'd be goin, but what's total site capacity 180k? 5% therefore 9k - too many - police really fecking upset, ME gets a bollocking!

[Kyelo]

If I were ME I'd play it. If I chose not to play it I'd say cars leaving carparks will NOT be allowed to re-enter. Tough sh*t in my view

[fullfathom5]

Yeah that'd work well, all the cars then just park up on verges, Police have to draft in shedloads of staff to tow them away to a compound...

[Kowalski]

If they can (apparently) cancel the whole festival for the Olympics, then surely then can free up a slot to show a game of football next year?

It'll be shown!

[LondonTom]

Why would the future of the festival be in doubt if 5% of people chose to leave to watch football? The one thing you could guarantee is that it wouldn't happen in 2011.

And if these people leave, the question still remains - where are they going?
