Better to be ahead of any potential bad weather than trying to catch up. 
 

also if it’s dry the dust it kicks up gives a magical view of the late evening pyramid stage on tv.

They can put it down really quickly though. With no bad weather on the horizon I don't get them doing it so early when it possibly won't be needed.

Not sure why they kept getting so excited with the woodchip the last couple of years in good weather. It's hardly like it's the stuff you get in kids play areas either, you could probably build houses with it. Really annoying to walk on. 

 

It's literally been construction waste too in the last few years.  Actually surprised they've got away with it.

 

There has been wood with nails sticking out of it.

Just like any project management, that man power will most likely be needed closer to the festival when the pace picks up. They are doing other tasks whilst they wait for that final rush.

I suspect why they have put woodchip down is to discourage people sitting down that close to the stage. I wasn't there in 2023, but wasn't one of the big issues with the elton john crowd was that there loads of people sitting down until he came on?

Ah, could make sense.  I just wondered if it was a public area I hadn't been to before.  Cool looking crew bar, if that's what it is 🙂 

Yea it’s a good one, probably the most pub-by of all the staff bars. They had tvs to watch the euros last year. Plus nice canteen

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
