Will they be showing the football?

[JimOfTheJungle]

not got my back up about it? just seems pointless showing it.

Plus that post was so stupid.... Drinking? it happens everywhere... not just at festivals.

Charity is hardly something we woudl complain about, and thats one of Glasto's selling points anyway.

Fashion?? everyone wears clothes?

Welly's.... it rains a lot.

Pies and Noodles.... it's called food... people eat it every day.

Like none of these points are really very valid are they? it just seems stupid to shut down a stage so people can watch football when the festival is not about football. It would be the same for any other thing that they wanted o do it with. I wont be there so it wouldnt matter, but it just seems illogical to shut down a part of a "music and arts" festival, to show a football game that can either be recorded, watched at a local pub, or kept updated with via phones. It's not about getting backs up... just doesnt need to happen.

FOOTBALL

A bit of a trotter TBF and how many others would you expect have the same idea?

Very much a flawed idea IMO

I think i should add another option for:

Wants to watch MatchOfTheDay off Sky+ on the pyramid after the last act....

I'll get me coat.

Football on screens, band on soundsystem, everyones happy!

[Alzeefest]

Quality! i remember the BBC showing Glasto celebrating the Owen goal at half time and everyone went mad again! Happy daze! Lots of my friends who don't even like the game said it was the best sporting thing they'd ever been to in that field that evening!

One could argue that football is a form of art

*England concede, everyone groans*

Perfect idea.

Wouldn't a simple "Yes"/"No" poll have sufficed?

Well it still gives an indication. As I type, 49 people (73%) have voted for one of the four options that are broadly in favour of having the footy available somewhere and 18 people (27%) have voted for one of the 2 options that are against.

So on the simple assumption that these 67 people are representative of the 170,000ish folk who will be there in June then its a clear result!!

And to apply an even less scientific approach (if that's possible) that is roughly about the 70/30 split I would have guessed at I reckon.

[Langdale Wolf]

That's all well and good but what is the mode and median opinion? What standard deviation are you finding? I need more statistics!

[dan05delaney]

well on the current records that 70 ppl have taken the survey so far that is approx 1/2428th of the Glastonbury attendee's... enough to see that these 70 ppl represent the entire audience...

and asuming 73% of ppl want to see the football that's still 124,100 ppl....

...all numbers were correct when i posed this...

A pie chart is what is needed.

My standard deviations are strictly off topic for this thread.

[Langdale Wolf]

And a real ale.

Can't have a pie without a real ale.

[marktea]

If your standard deviations are strictly off topic I dread to think what your non-standard deviations would be
