Who's not going next year?

[Charm]

I think today might be the day whereby I tell Mrs. Woffy i'm intending to go next year. Without her. If I get a ticket, obviously.

Good luck with that.

Not even sure how to broach the subject considering it was 'decided' I'm not going.

[frostypaw]

Best broached after t-day perhaps? No point having the argument then not getting any tickets (to the sound of trumpeting and celebrations)

Don't think trying for tickets without asking first will be a good move.

She must know how much you love the festival. Just say you can't face not going.

Sure she will understand. It's Glastonbury after all.

[frostypaw]

not if then it turns out she does want to come for sure

Yeah, it's not as if you have kids and another on the way and as if looking after kids on your own was difficult at all.

Oh.

Well, still tell her. She'll understand I'm sure. Definitely be fine. Probably. Yeah.

Edit: I've had the conversation already this year. Sometimes it just needs to be done. The lure of the festival is just too great. Not sure if that came off badly, just joshing from one Glasto obsessed dad to another

All this football chat is rather encouraging. Will it help keep the numbers down on t day? Was there any noticeable effect in 2010? Can't really remember that t day.

I'll deffo be going. Ticket permitting. I think I'm pretty much in for life. A lot of my mates won't be though for various reasons. Mixed feelings about this. Spent a lot of time with just the other half this year and really loved it but I do quite miss those fun big group moments and some friends in particular. Glastonbury changes and grows with you though in my experience and that's a good thing.

But sometimes we wanna be free to do what we want to do......

In all seriousness maybe you could offer her a couple of nights away from the kids.

Most mums I know would go for this.

Bottled it for tonight!

The new Woffling will be 6 months old...so Mrs Woffy won't be going.

I think - T-Day permitting - I might sell it that I'll rock up at the crack of dawn Friday morning (we're only 70mins away) rather than the usual Tuesday night.

[guypjfreak]

nope

[sharon]

nope

oh yes we are.............ticket gods willing. :-)

Going in Friday does sound like a good selling point.

Hope it does the trick.

Recent tournaments have been in places like Brazil and South Africa so wouldnt have made a huge difference. This one's in France so easier to get to, and most of the home nations have a decent chance of qualifying. It may make a small difference, but not noticeable if I'm honest.

People do tend to panic about missing matches even on TV though don't they? My friend's boyfriend skipped 2010 because he didn't want to miss a game and he didn't travel anywhere. Although I think him and his mates are next year.

I'm not convinced it'll make a huge difference if I'm honest. You may get a very small number of hardcore football fans who will want to stay home and watch it, and there'll be a fair few going out to France to watch too, but I don't think it'll make any noticable difference on T-Day. I've got tickets for France next summer the same weekend as GF, but I still plan to try on T-Day and decide closer to the time which to go to.

Ah well! We can but hope...

Ill be coming over again from Ireland and found out there that my last exam in my Leaving Cert (irish equivalent to A Levels) is on the Thursday afternoon.

I should still make it over though by that night and meet my mates who go on the Wednesday.

nearly died inside when i got the news

[Muppetmark]

Would anybody already deciding not to go be up for at least helping run secretglasto next year?

[stuartbert two hats]

Seconded!

[stuartbert two hats]

I think our recruitment drive will do best around deposit/resale time.

Now if we get on the blag, we'll be able to have a carrot to dangle for people too!

Then once you've got that agreed you could say maybe Thursday, Wednesday....... Edited August 4, 2015 by jeffie

I went down on the Thursday in 2014 because it was too long away going on the Wednesday and didn't go at all last year because I was still away too long in 2014.

 

I'm planning on being there Wednesday afternoon next year.  Don't tell M2H!

If I can get a decent wireless signal I'm planning on digging myself a Tour of Duty-style foxhole around April and living underneath Worthy Farm for 2 months.  Totally worth it.
