2nd efestivals Glasto World Cup discussion thread

I mentioned this in the other thread a few days back, and I realise it's probably too late now, but are we sure we want to use JustGiving? Virgin Money Giving charges less and more of the donation goes to the charity. I know I'm biased as I work for VMG but the facts speak for themselves:

Ok, so I'm not sure what 'almost £12' is, but if it's, say, £11.90 (and I'm being generous there) then for the £270 that has been donated so far, WaterAid get about £320. Through VMG it would be £340. That £20 difference is easily enough to give one more person safe, clean water for life. So if we raise another £3000 this year, that difference could end up being over £200.

VMG still has all the bells and whistles like JG - totaliser pages, donation messages, app for FaceBook to spread the word, widgets for blogs and the like.

So is there any chance we can swap to VMG before we raise much more? I'll still donate either way of course and I'll also be standing on the sidelines cheering but it would be cool if we could help WaterAid just a little bit more.

I'm hurt I'm not among the physios :lol:

Got a magic sponge ready and everything. My unused costume from last year (bloody traffic) is needing an airing. If you don't want me I won't bring my bone-saw.

(donation on its way :lol: )

I've just noticed that whiteash was in the ROW squad twice. So that means Keev you are now in the full ROW squad :P

I'm sure the same thing will happen when Capello is compiling his squad for the World Cup.

"Emile? Hi, it's Fabio here. Sorry about the late notice, but would you be able to fly out to South Africa for a week or so? I've just noticed I put Wayne's name down twice - I was sort of hoping he'd play centre half as well as upfront, because he'd be a shitload better than that cheating clown John Terry. But FIFA rules stipulate that you can't play the same player twice in the same game at the same time. Nazis. Well - fancy it?"

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
