Something will be different at any rate 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, looks wider, here’s the 2016 frame middle strut this year Edited April 30, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 There was someone standing on haystacks taking a picture of the lift. I didn’t get a screenshot of them in time but I’m wondering if we’ll see those pics shortly 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junglist1981 Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Would be funny if after all this speculation the width of the supports and the size of the screen is exactly the same as before. Or if they just stuck a 50” plasma on that centre pillar or something. Surrounded by lots of fairy lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the webcam, we could see differences in the configuration and all sorts of wild theories were thrown about on what this could mean for the festival. In the end it looked absolutely identical from the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they'd look good on the pyramid but I think they'd look amazing on the other stage Now if they could just push those two screens together and change the channel to, I dunno, Gardener's World or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
