they've got a poll, must read the forums

Bu**er who the hell is voting to keep these things!!!! I'm all for banning them in front of the stage but not from the camping sites as there's not a hope in hell of me finding my tent without mine.

No, keep the flags (209 votes) * 54.57%

Yes, ban the flags (174 votes) * 45.43%

[ollyog]

I'm a bit curious to know why the people voting to keep them are voting that way. What good can come of them apart from getting yourself on tv? Unless they're all intending to take flags.

And yeah flags for campsites is a given, defo keep those.

Because Glastonbury isn't about people been told what they can and can't do, are good for finding your mates, and look great.

Oh and don't relay on still being able to get them in the Campsite as you may be stopped from bringing them in.

[scudetto_boy]

only if shes a total moron! why would anyone want the flags the festival erect banned????

[laid back in the sun]

No you can't. It says "Vote not counted. You already voted." if you vote more than once.

[LondonTom]

Use proxy tunnels , might not even need to do that I would imagine, probs a cookie, so could clear those every time

Firefox was only allowing me one vote, IE is letting me vote non stop. However its nearly 50/50

10 pages...here's my honest opinion.....

If you like flags you're a f**king idiot...I have never laughed or even smiled at one in my life..you ruined so many acts for me last me

It's not about having rules and being fascists it's about letting other people further back see the stage, (particularly younger children etc)..

1. Stop allowing people to sell them

2. Keep them by the camping area

3. You can't 'ban' them from the main stages but you could put it in the program and mention it online etc: 'please understand that due to the blocking of the view for others, flags are not recommended in the main stages crowds - please consider others around you'....

i don't get the 'view from further back' bit. if i'm that far back, i watch the screens.

[ampersand]

So that you can watch the wall of flags on the screens instead.

[Vad84]

and a wall of flags is unacceptable, over just a wall of people? i think they should part refund peoples tickets for this. must compeltely ruin the experience.

[Langdale Wolf]

Has anyone got a photo from last year of the flags completely obstructing the view of the stage? I remember seeing one on another thread somewhere but can't find it.

[Craig_G]

I didn't vote. Simply as there is no mid-way option of simply requesting people to be considerate and think about people behind them.

What happened to common sense and consideration?

[ampersand]

Unless your the size of a borrower, I can't see how a wall of people could possible block the view of the whole stage & screens. Stupid argument.

[Vad84]

sizist are we?

i don't see why they would be showing the crowd on the screens either. when i said, if you're that far back, watch the screen; i was meaning to see the band, cos you can hardly see them from a distance.
