Security Issue

Foals, Editors, Scissor Sisters... or England v Germany (maybe) in the world cup? I think I may be making my way up to the park. I think that there will be a lot of people doing this, especially if the weather is good. The football haters may not like it, but I reckon a lot of people will want to watch the football and consider Glastonbury just about the perfect place to do it.

I'm a massive football fan but havn't given it a second thought over Foals. if england get to the Semi's or even the Final its pretty inlikely I'll get to see if as I'll be in Asia.

England will only meet Germany on Sunday if they come 2nd in their group and Germany win theirs. I think it is more likely that England will play Serbia on Saturday.

Since when was it announced as on at the Park? Last I heard they'd got screens they were going to put in an area near there

[wainyd]

England v Germany on the Sunday will be chaos, england v serbia/ghana/aus on the saturday will not pose a problem due the other acts on.

Baring in mind the sunday game is on at 3pm it cant solely be shown at the park!!!!!!!!!

[Lizzim]

big money is going on the serbs winning that group. which means we'd play ze germans.

if it's england v germany then i'll watch it (especially as the other option is watching foals ) but if it's serbia then i'm sure i'll find something else. this'll probably be the view of many, so it depends on who we get i reckon. it'll never reach 100k though!

Saturday isn't the best lineup but Foals are a highlight for me.

[wainyd]

Another potential issue, the foals on John Peel? They should be on a bigger stage, they were my favourite act in 2008 on the other stage!

[philly_eds]

Aye. Their friendlies have been going well. Gave the sheep shaggers a right beating. That's New Zealand, not Wales, btw.

[r0cky]

Is it 100% confirmed for The Park area?

[staggerlee]

I didn't realise the group stage had already happened. Get a grip, still three games to play!

That's what I thought, big screen(s) up the hill behind the park and so on was the last info I saw being bandied around. I'm sure it could and no doubt will get a bit silly if it does turn out to be a very important and/or mega popular match mind you.

But personally, I don't care who's playing who or where and when as I have absolutely 0% interest in footy I'm afraid. The only positive aspect for me is that the more fans watching the footy, the quieter it will be elsewhere where I will be enjoying whatever it is I happen to be enjoying I'm all for showing the game(s) somewhere for those who are interested in watching but it better not be taking over the festival so to speak and disrupting the *REAL* reason for actually being there in the first place Footy at the Pyramid on Weds is fine, just as it was last time there was an Eng-er-land game on at Glasto but I for one will be seriously p!$$ed off if anything Glasto-related gets b*ggered around with too much just to enable footy to be shown to those who want to watch 22 peeps kicking a stupid ball around !

[glasto-worker]

I don't have a clue who is playing - where they are playing - when they are playing or what they are playing for all I know I will be avoiding it like the plague including shifting the TV set in our Village tent as far away as possible from where I will be working.

I have never watched it on the TV as it holds no interest at all.

I cant work out why people would go to a Arts and Music Festival and then spend their time watching a football match.

Unnecessary scare-mongering by the OP.

If GFL genuinely thought there would be a problem, they probably wouldnt show it at all.

Absolutely rubbish that 100,000 people are going to descend on The Park on Saturday night to watch England v Serbia/Ghana/Aus.

Anyway it wont be in The Park as already stated because there are acts scheduled to perform there, it will either be Dairy Ground or Flagtopia

The bigger problem will be if England do not win the group because playing Germany is a bigger draw, however, are they really going to bump Slash and the others off the Pyramid to show the football, I dont think so.

Just because you like the football and want a decent spot to watch it, please think before you type such rubbish and start getting people worried

An area west of the Steanbow Farm Dairy Unit is being set aside for the Sat/Sun game, with space for 40,000. Whether or not there will be other locations also used, I don't know.
