Worldcup Footie, Pyramid and The Park

[howbizzrre]

i reckon people are underestimating serbia. would you not say they had a better chance than the aussies? who don't really have that much work to do to qualify do they?

Emliy Eavis confirmed that the Wednesday game will be shown live at the pyramid stage.

Then went on to add that the Saturday or Sunday matches will be shown on giant screens in The Park area. Details of which are still being sorted now.

Not being a football fan myself, did she mean there will be a matches played on Saturday and on Sunday, or did she not know if there was one match on Sat or Sun ?

Giant Screens at The Park!!! sends like a great place to hang out.

This suggests the yellow area on Paines Ground on the new map, rather than being crew camping is in fact big screens!

Actually they were! It was infuriating - loads of classist comments too "Sport for poshos" etc, I had to stop going on the thread I was getting so annoyed.

Yet it came around, the sun was out, great atmosphere, one of the greatest Test matches of all time, and Dizzee to pick me up after my boy ROG lost the Lions the match.

The football will be no different

Not there. I'm 99% sure. More 'behind' (roughly WNW of Steanbow dairy unit)

[r0cky]

sorry to be dense but where is that in relation to things tht are shown on the official map? (I can't open Glasto Earth on my work PC BTW socan't check that way)

Dairy Unit is the grey patch East of Bushy Ground.

[elfimaju]

oh, the bit that used to be outside the fence?

[Rolf Harris]

Thinking about, I'm still not sure I understand - why is that area marked as camping on the map then?

[bluemoontom]

18/1 for algeria to progress? i'll have me some of that. especially on their continent. where the rest may find it harder to adjust.

Exactly topped frances group in qualifying. That Krasic from CSKA is a belting player, not forgetting Vidic, Ivanovic, Stankovic and aload of other players whose namess end in 'vic'

[ampersand]

Its winter in South Africa though so it will be more like English conditions than Algerian ones. Granted they aren't a bad side but can't see england not winning.

[Rolf Harris]

true enough. dunno who got them at 18 though, i checked paddy power and they were only 4/1 to get out the group.

must have been to win the group rather then progress.

Porturgal v Brazil might be an important one at 3.30pm on the friday if ivory coast beat either of them. wouldn't kill me to miss willy nelson either...

[ampersand]

Shouldn't there be a warning on this thread about people making heart breaking comments like this?

I can only think of "To all the girls i've loved before" and .................no it's gone!

My favourite of his is "Luckenbach, Texas". It was written about a phase when the country music stations decided to only play newer artists, and all the old artists like Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson headed off to Luckenbach to re-group and write some songs that the radio would just HAVE to play - and it worked. "Luckenbach, Texas" was the kind of headline song off that movement and starts with the immortal lines...

"Theres only 2 things in life that make it worth livin..

..a guitar tuned good and firm feelin women"

...now THATS off topic!

[5co77ie]

[amfy]

Oh Russy - we were talking about music then - why did you have to bring the football up!
