[Hotcider]

This is great news, no more rushing to get sorted before the bands start

[Elfy]

Yep, fab isn't it?

[M.G.Frogworthy]

THURSDAY!! That's woke me from my Winter hibernation. Cider Bus - 8pm - Party Time! All in favour?

[M.G.Frogworthy]

Why so late?

Sounds like a plan to me

[Kilian]

will there also be a shuttle-bus service on thursday?

[Sipperana]

Looks like I'll be needing the Thursday off work as well then

[shoebox]

I'd already booked the Thursday off to do my festival shopping (i.e. buy beer, wine and crisps), so I'm sorted. Just need to make sure all my camping buddies do the same thing now. It's gonna be great!

[Elfy]

Shoebox - if your friends can't make it on the Thurs then you'll be very welcome to come and drink cider with us

[Elfy]

5 pm it is then! I'll be under the clock wearing a pink carnation and carrying a copy of the Times.

[shoebox]

Oh, and I may pass on the cider if that's OK? Especially if it's that hot, spicy stuff. Not a fan I'm afraid. I'll have my tins of Hobgoblin and Tanglefoot and a stupid grin on my face.

[5co77ie]

May we (me and Mrs 5co77ie) come and say hi?

[cessy5]

*head in hands* . . . hoping that my financial plan will be successful sos i can get tickets

fantastic news! big get together thursday, then nice, relaxed, start to the festie.

[Hotcider]

....and I'll have a peacock feather in my hair...... or maybe I'll just have a whole peacock under my arm...... oh, and a hot cider in hand (note hot cider, not Hotcider )

[Infinite Jest]

Sooooo jealous of all of you who can get down there on Thursday (as usual, it's going to be a huge fight for me to get any time off at all...might be able to leave work a few hours early on Friday but that's it).

Have fun, save me some cider

[Corporal Clegg]

This will make it so much better this year.Always a mad rush to travel and set up tents the same day as the festival starts.Always missed the first few acts as a result of not getting out of bed early enough on the friday!

[Splainc]

So bloody excited!!!

Roll on the next announcement

[Lauz_Abbott]

oooo will be my third EOTR and cant wait!!!! ill be working at this years fest

[perfectpassion]

Its brilliant isnt it....now I will be (sorry WE will be) waiting for the gates to open on Thursday... And now for the rest of my plan....I wish to extend the party for the whole of the next week....monday is just too soon to be saying goodbye. I suggest the rest of the week camping and chilling and drinking cider.....oooops seems I did carry on from last year....me and Phil still partying!

[SweepingTheNation]

I've had an email through today from some press people listing which of their bands are playing which festival, including this:

End Of The Road, 10-12th September

ALLO DARLIN' – Tipi Tent, 9th September (Warm-up show)

THE RUBY SUNS – 10th September

THREE TRAPPED TIGERS – Date TBC

[geofelgie]

I would take "warm up show" to mean they are playing again

[Elfy]

B ) those of us who can't make it down until the Friday aren't going to get to see some of the bands - in this case one I'd been particularly pleased about - promised for the regular Friday-Sunday?
