Flags

[Yokel Again]

I am hoping and preying that common sense rules, and that a small amount of people will bring flags, but most people won't really bother.

I wonder if Emily would consider getting the Fine Guide changed to include something about Flags in there, and asking people to be considerate to others. Has anyone suggested that?

I'm going to take a flag 200ft across and 50ft high with 'Emily Eavis is a slag' on it and stand right in front of the stage, if anyone tells me to move it I'll tell them to f**k off becuase its all part of the festival experience

Bands should ask punters to put flags down during theirs set so that everyone can see.

Simples !

If people have made the effort to take flags down to the front of the stages then are asked to put them down in the middle of a crowd, where exactly are they going to put them? They are likely to club someone in the head or have thier eye out, and then subsequently the flags and poles will wrecked by feet stamping on them. Unless flag wavers are made to leave or not enter the stage area in the first place, then they are for the reasons above, very unlikely to just "put the flags down".

I can't see anything in the rules that what would prohibit bringing a set of these on site. If they question you, tell them it's a flag pole!

[Kyelo]

may i suggest one of these instead...

extends to 14' and is more than capable of destroying even the sturdiest flag pole and if the flag waving knob end takes offence and gets arsey about it you can take his arms off with it and end his flag waving days forever

Is that thing not very hard to handle though? Could have a few accidental heads chopped off haha

Damn, I can't believe there was an official poll on the flag issue and I missed it! Why didn't anyone 'flag' it up?? Oh well...

I love the way they promoted the 'magic' the flags add ...and as proof provided a photo of the view from the top of the mixing desk tower! Some disconnect from the nature of the issue at GF HQ there methinks. I'll withdraw my objection if they let me up there

Try getting that past security though.

Any comments are always appreciated and we have already planned to put a

number of your suggestions into practice (check out the Fine Guide when

it comes out later in the year!).

Hope that answers your question.

I just got an email reply from Glastonbury Festivals after I complianed about flags:

Thank you for your email regarding the flags at the Festival.

We received such diverse opinions after the Festival last year that we

felt it would be interesting to hear everybody's feedback, hence the

poll on our website.

Our festival-goers mean a lot to us and it is very important to us to

know how you are feeling about things. Because of the response last year

(mostly by email) we felt this was the most straight-forward way of

listening.

Thanks for getting in touch. Here is a link to our website with the

latest on the poll:

I'm glad there will not be a ban of any kind (as made clear in my earlier posts)

[srvman]

browsing through some of last years photos, and although it does look cool for a picture I wouldnt have wanted to stand behind all of it

[srvman]

wouldnt be nice to be as chilled as the park everywhere

[Sabcully]

Oh no. This thread is still going. Every time I am just about to move on I catch sight of it and get all

annoyed over flags and the stupid poll on the GF page and get all outraged again.....!!!
