Flag rant

[kpins]

I don't really want to open a big flags debate but watching the footage back two types of flag really pxxxed me off. Firstly football flags- why bother? Yes you support a team get over it its Glastonbury not Wembley. Nearly every gig had a bloody Everton flag near the front.

Secondly flags with photos of (I presume) the owners on. Ridiculously self-indulgent.

Rant over.

We thought overall there was a lot less flags this year,just an observation.

Didn't have any problems with flags this year. Just arrived early and got a decent spot. I even managed to (unfortunately) see Muse without having to crook my head once at the television screen.

My main suggestion is that if you really despirately want to see a band then arrive early and get a good position

Well, as an Everton fan it has to be said that our flags very rarely get TV footage by having an outing on cup final day - so we have to get them on telly somehow!

"Three Mexican flags on one pole guy" is the new "I "heart" Sausage" guy.

Was it someone on here that had a flag that simply said "Does it look like i care if this flags blocks your views" or words to that affect. I just thought that person was an awful c**t.

The big 'Flags are for twats' was pretty funny.

I heard about this but never saw it otherwise my 'selfish c*nt' side of personality might have come out to play as well. 'Do I look like I care my air horn is pissing you off as I follow you round the festival'...

[Bernsville]

I like the flags. If I find the view being blocked I just move a few feet either way until clear.

[rubenz]

Does anyone remember the "purple aki" flag from a couple of years back. That has to be one of my favourites in terms of flags!

[anoldhippie@60]

I did not think that there were as many flags this year. Had no problems though, I think they add to the atmosphere if there are not to many of them. What does get up my nose a bit is people on other peoples shoulders. I know they are enjoying themselves but it stops a fair few people behind them from being able to see.

[denwyn]

Last year i was well pissed off with the flags trying to watch Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen,this year they really did not bother me at all, as i did not bother with any of the Pyramid headliners,from what i have seen in on the tv shots they were maybe not as bad as last year, i do seem to recall Eavis saying they were not allowed i front of the Pyramid stage !!!! What happend there then. Some of the flags are quite funny and well thought out, why people teke football flags is beyond me.i still think thee better left at your tent.

[crimsonking]

Didnt think flags were quite as bad as last year, I think the good people of Glasto are starting to see reason, however 3 Mexico flags on one pole was a bit OTT, particulary as it kept blocking my view of Slash :angry:

A girl sat on someones shoulders during Dizzee. Big Mistake! She was an easy target for those with paper cups of water that were handed out by security. She lasted about 2 minutes! She was fit mind.
