Saturdays World Cup Game?

[jayk94]

Hi,

I know its a music festival and a lot of people aren't interested in the football, but I just wondered if anyone knows whether there are plans to show the 2nd round England game.

If all goes to plan we should be playing on the saturday night but there is no mention of any football in the weekend line up.

Just wondered if any of you have heard anything. Surely they cant risk people trying to leave the festival in large numbers to watch the game...

I dont want to start a "should football be at glasto" debate, I know everyone has their own views on that but would just like to know.

Thanks,

Rumours say it'll be in the cinema field. Certainly makes the most sense.

I don't think anything has been confirmed one way or the other to be honest.

Though the gap in the Pyramid Stage late afternoon on the Saturday could be a hint?

I hope they show it up at Flagtopia or something so those who want to watch it can. I don't think I will. As much as I'm a footy obsessive, the line up is just too good this year.

We'll just have to wait and see what the organisers decide to do.

What time is the kick off? Or is it dependant where they come in their group?

Would they really sack off 2 hours of music for a football game? I know the game will be popular, but people have paid their money to see bands so wasting 2 hours of main stage music for a giant screen seems a little silly.

We will win that group.

The game will be on Saturday.

No Foals or Cribs for me

[ampersand]

Saturday evening if they win their group and Sunday afternoon if they come 2nd

[Digi]

so there is no game then?

I disagree.

I'm a much bigger music fan than I am a football fan but we've got 3 days of solid music, thousands of acts and thousands of hours of music, I don't think a 2 hour break to watch England play in a world cup would be an unpopular choice, I think it would be packed.

There are plenty of other stages.

[rumpola]

The atmostphere would be just as good if not better than any band that could play at that time.

So what time are Scotland playing??????????

Another factor to take into account about the footie being shown on the pyramid stage is it could go to extra time and penalties, it is England and it could be Germans as well.

It won't be on the Pyramid. It will be on at an insanely packed Cinema Field I expect. Atmosphere in 2004 was insanely good. Can't wait.

[timespeedsup]

That's why the TBC are on at the Pyramid. Makes sense. Now which act(s) will cover should no game be shown?

Langdale Wolf > Are you seriously telling me you wouldn't watch England v Germany in a knockout round of the World Cup if it was being shown on a screen somewhere on site?

If they aren't showing it, I'll be attempting to get offsite and find somewhere that does.

euro 2004 at the pyramid - wicked - the year me and my best mate forgot our tent and bought an england fleece to sleep on. we lost to portugal. but it was brilliant - all my mates at home saw it on news at ten, all of us lot at glasto. ace.

It depends what time it's on. And therefore what it clashes with. But I'm prepared to miss it, yes.

No matter what happens, I wouldn't leave the site. It'd be a bit of a shitter, but I'm going to Glastonbury, and from a personal point of view, I'm going to a Glastonbury with the strongest line up I've ever experienced.

It means I'm going to have to make the sacrifice and forget about the football. I know it's not the same as watching it live, but I'll catch up with ALL the football when I get home.
