neil_hill_1 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 i was at glastonbury the last time a world cup was on but as i was a lot younger then and was not really with it too much i did not get round to seeing if glastonbury did this then. so my question is will they, this year, be showing all the games at a special tent/place/screen? has there been any official announcements yet? i know that they are showing the england game on the thursday (or whenever it is) but what about every other game? please do not start thinking that i will be watching them all, as i will not, but there are certain games that i would quite like to watch in a muddy field whilst off my rocker on mdma. also, I apologise if this question may of been answered already. i had a quick look to see if i could find one, but i came up with no results and there are only so many hours in a day. love a peas.

ampersand Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 this is actually a valid question. say sunday afternoon and no bands do anything for me (quite like the past couple of sundays actually) and i want to watch the football, will i be able to. even if it was two obscure nations, i'd probably be interested watching it in a crowd.

Couldn't stand to be away from the tele for five days after all. Edited March 24, 2010 by maninkilt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_danny_ Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 i agree, it's a totally valid question. if i'm not overly excited by any bands playing on the saturday (should we win our group) or the sunday (should we finish runners up), then i would definitely want to see the match. i'm not for one second suggesting that i'm going to want to be in front of the telly during the weekend, but being at glastonbury isn't going to magically stop me from being a football fan*, and if there is no band playing at the time that particularly floats my boat... * contrary to popular belief in this forum, you can be a football fan without being a tit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ampersand Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 oh well. i'll have to invest in a hand help portable tv then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninkilt Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 and also contraty to popular belief, football existed before the telly. don't get why someone is saying that having an interest to the world biggest sporting event going on means that you also want to watch xfactor and eastenders as well.

snedd88 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 NOOOOO. are you sure? can this be true? what is that you say .. bamboozled! anyway, regarding my original question i gather that there has been no announcement and that they have never sjhown the whole of the world cup on other world cup years. oh well. i'll have to invest in a hand help portable tv then. and NO football is not band, Mark E Smith on the other hand is.

ampersand Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well, that is because you will not be watching the football match you will be watching the TELEVISION coverage of the football match. Really didn't think that would need explaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Let's just hope england lose all their games then a lot of this silliness can be avoided. For all those avid football fans, I hear there will be many pubs in Bristol showing the games. Only a short distance away. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maninkilt Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 but to compare the world cup to other tv programmes which have only ever existed in tv format is a tad silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampersand Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 So to summarise - you want millions of people across the country to be disappointed just so you don't have to read about it on a message board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazOnSpeed Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Would be nice if there was somewhere to pop in n catch some random world cup match, while bimbling around site. What about in the Kings Head instead of Singstar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snedd88 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 cos heaven forbid that hundreds of millions of americans/algerians/slovenians are upset, as long as the mighty english punters get to see the last 16. bloody facist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yeah, you know I have absolutely no f**king interest in England, bunch of arseholes, but it would be really nice to have all the matches on somewhere (a screen in the old cinema field), so I could spend a pleasant 90 minutes watching a bit of footy. I think it would be great. Really nice idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
