yeah, simple as that!

Assuming they are starting to take it away now, think it’ll be gone this week? Seems like it would be a big job

If it was a quick job it will have gone long ago and would probably have been back again this year. Still wondering why wait until now before removing it.

once they get another  crane up there I dont think it will take too long tbh ..... a week seems well and truly doable ... place your bets now for when she disappears  from sight ..... 10 am fri is mine

Fence is flying up! 

There's a digger at work in the Arcadia field, and I spotted one in a similar spot along the hedgerow last week. Have they opened up a gap in the hedgerow? I don't have the link to the page where you can check back to hand.

That's the normal route into Paines/South Park/PGD etc. (we normally camp on this side of those hedges in view))

I actually wonder if they’re laying track to it for bigger vehicles to get across the grass?

Looking at some images from 2019 they seemed to start work on Pangea around the same week - but yeah the metal road/tracks were laid down first.

The fence going up almost exactly the same time as well.  The OS slightly behind 2019 (talking 1-2 days) but also the Park Stage was going up:

Probably no point having the teams on site twice.

The only thing I can think of is that there's extra infrastructure on site now (trackways, cranes + other vehicles) that make it easier/cheaper to deal with once the main festival build has begun.

This is the same as before I think. They've just made a new floor on the top levell. 

It looks different as it's bare and doesn't have stuff built on such as the actual bar with drinks and staff etc.

Are we guessing it's remaining on site following deconstruction or leaving Worthy Farm altogether? If the latter then even with it breaking into components the haulage will be significant so scheduling for weekend to limit traffic disruption might be on the cards.

1000 Sat to wave it off for me.

They moved it in on a weekday with a police escort last time if I remember correctly?

The question will be where is it going? I doubt they’re keen to have a derelict crane back at Avonmouth docs

Yeah fair point … can’t see them doing anything with her this year … they might move her to the holding pen by gate A ready for removal … to join her other bits and peices ready to be taken away … laying the trackway to get a lorry in will take half a day at least ..

Joe Rush's workshop for some butchery?

Are we definitely sure the crane is being removed and not re-constructed? I would love it if they could have both the Spider and the Crane in the same field.

I consider it doubtful though 😔

I'm sure one of the Rush lads could do something with it.

I think it’s just too bulky … maybe they can use the jib but I reckon the reason it’s by gate A currently is that it’s ready for collection

I’ve just been wondering the same thing. The crane base in its current location does stand out a bit. Is there a place on site where the base wouldn’t be so noticeable and be able to stay in situ all year.

Nope there would be absolutely no point to doing this …. Other than pissing off the council who they need to keep on side

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
