Lineup 2014

[Asdaprice]

Totally seperate from the 2014 info yeah. We heard 38 on the Sunday. He said that it was considered to be shut down on Saturday.Actually, for what it's worth, I'm not replying publicly anymore. If you wanna chat more PM me but we're clogging the thread and it's not fair to the others.

Fair enough. I still think it would have been made wider knowledge but i couldn't care less if it's true or not. They were last year anyway. Bring on the blink crush....

[Asdaprice]

Its not a newsworthy story in all honesty. There would have been 50,000+ watching C&S, surely? Its a minuscule number.

Yeah I saw that, it wasn't funny.

If 38 people all got seriously badly injured at any event it would get reported.

[Shootenanny!]

I would have broken 38 ribs not to have to watch Chase and Status.

It wouldn't. For starters there are injuries at fests every year and they're probably more serious than a few broken ribs. Not to mention there were probably a number of more interesting stories- drug overdoses/arrests etc.

[Com Truise]

Didn't somebody die at Reading/Leeds? I saw hardly anything on that so I don't see why media outlets would care about a few broken ribs if they don't care about a death..?

That was reported by several media outlets, crowd problems are reported in the media(especially the festival media).

I don't tend to believe people when there's no evidence to back it up, then again I don't believe journalists full stop.

I wonder who started the 38 rib story...

Yeah... who wrote that mate

[jonodillieono]

Chase and Status was the worst crowd I've ever been in and I was right at the back of the front section. It was full on knobs trying to roundhouse kick each other in mosh pits

[thetime]

Yeah... who wrote that mate

I suppose strictly thought it was so inaccurate they had to errr let you go.

Technically she didn't die on site and therefore at the festival, but it still got reported.

38 broken ribs - which is a pretty fuckin serious injury - during the same acts set - I'm pretty sure wouldn't go ignored. NME would lap that shit up. So would BBC Newsbeat etc

But whatever.

So anyway, what sort of coffee did everyone have after their trips to their favourite local supermarkets...

I couldn't drink because I broke my ribs

[Com Truise]

Fair enough, I wasn't thinking of that girl, I thought there was a lad who had died, there was a thread about it on here after the fest, but it might have been rubbish, I can't remember very well

Can't remember either but don't think so - deaths usually get reported at fests thick and fast.

[Paul ™]

Weird how I was never aware of such a high injury rate in the arena nor were FMS or even the site manager...

As for the bull about the so called about to get cancelled, that's even more ridiculous nonsense.

[Paul ™]

But what were the problems you have stated there were?

Just some small issues with the crowd and movement around a couple of the toilet blocks in particular the ones at Alpha gate and Foxtrot gate but they were resolved fairly quickly.

Also a couple of concerns about tent capacity at times, but can't recall what acts it was, though was one in FR stage on the Friday.

Egress worked well with the new arena and campsite trackway layout but will be tweaked slightly for 2014.

Do not call him a lair! He is not a lair!

you are the worst troll i think i have seen

two at Leeds wasnt it (i remember reading about it a few days after) one or maybe both over-dosed i thought

[Paul ™]

Glad to know you followed me around at the festival and were in exactly the same place as me so knew that i am actually just making everything up for a laugh.... oh wait you wern't next to me. Do not call me a lair.

Sorry reading back more pages (alot of shite on this thread to get through), you were at Leeds?

If so, then no I wasn't there as I thought you meant Reading.

There certainly wasn't the issues you described there.

Leeds

As i have said (sorry to being this back up everyone ) I was perfectly fine with everything apart from simply the popularity of Eminem coupled with some real idiots ment that the front few rows where i was standing at least were in a dangerous way in between waiting for Eminem and him starting... also it was so rammed where i was that i couldnt get out.

I understand that in reading that C&S crowd were made to calm down/ they had to stop the set a few times and i think that was the only set in the entire weekend were such a thing happend so as i have said in earlier posts i dont think there is anything the festival could have done to make it much safer

[Paul ™]

Yup show stop was put in place a few times for C&S at Reading, it certainly wasn't in danger of being pulled though.

[Com Truise]

I don't think Yellow cares if you 'trust' him
