I'll grab a copy this evening and see if it's any different to the Western Daily Press one's. That's another one listed on the comp form, so I'd suspect it's the same, but if you're going to be getting one anyway it definitely doesn't hurt to check, thanks!

Fingerbobs Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 There's not much interest in south of the railway line is there? I guess with two picks already coming from that side everyone is hunting in the northern squares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which has the lowest selection? it was nearly impossible for me to use both the real map and the EE map and then the graph, it would have been so unreadable but so far The Glade, Avalon, West Holts, Circus, Pilton Palais, Bandstand, William's Green, Silver Hayes, The Park but again it could always be random selection. Who knows. Edited May 26, 2016 by cb4747 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katir Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I still haven't heard anything on radio 1 Xtra has anyone else? Did the Unison one amount to anything for members? Still getting over the sacred space M18 which I chose not to do yesterday. Just scoffed two vanilla cupcakes to compensate!

Do you mean Radio X by any chance? The closing date's not till the 30th, so nothing till next week. I think the Unison one was closed.

Thanks for the info. It's really cutting it fine a week before. If I enter I'm going to lie about my age as it's obviously for regular listeners age15-32 demographically!

My boys are 8 and 4, eldest has been 3 times and youngest 2. They're itching to go back, we missed out on tickets last year too, youngest in particular doesn't quite grasp why we can't just go again! I absolutely adore the kidz field, as do they. Glastonbury is magical with kids but in a completely different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
