I've edited to my response a reference to the article, which was written in 2002

Yep.

And Pete admitted the offence in 2002 or 2003, where the offence itself was committed in around 1998.

The article's date of 2002 proves nothing of what Pete's intent was in 1998.

I was so very close to selecting a mash up of some of the usernames on here.

I nearly selected GETOFFGazza42 but alas, I went for The Placid Casual.

... Are you comparing me to Gazza and Matt42?

I do yeah. Simply because they found nothing else on his hard drive or any history of it previously. Do you believe 3D from Massive Attack? They played last year.

In fairness, attempting to pay for it with a credit card in the name of "Pete Townshend" sort of shows how naive he was.

Good website here running through a lot of the controversy about it.

Not saying he's innocent, but I'd side on the benefit of the doubt with this one, unless I've watched too many TV shows and I'm not massively clued up on computers but can't they retrieve almost anything off the hard drive these days? if there was something to find they would have probably found it.

I am always wrong

Haha, that was the time of the last announcement.

I remember I refreshed the website bang on at 7 and nothing... I was dissapointed so I went and got myself a biscuit.. And whilst walking away my phone beeped and I had a notification from glasto's Twitter! I never grabbed my phone so quickly!

The @BBCGlasto twitter account announced it bang on 7 but I think they were the only ones

Pretty much yeah, unless he dumped his old computers in the 3 years between the act andd the arrest. But even then they there are ways.

Having studied the Who a lot over the years Im inclined to believe him.

This story was over years ago.

    • I mean she's never going to admit it, but of course she would do a deal...same as Labour would with lib-dems/greens if meant getting into government.
    • They probably do make more from the festival. But take a look at an aerial photo from any year - there's always a few fields that would be viable for festival related use yet are left empty. I guess they just don't want to deal with the associated hassle.
