This year was particularly bad and the infrastructure creaked for the whole weekend. That's the problem though,it can happen any year Edited June 28, 2016 by mr jolly Didn't finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could of course be gossip or bollocks, but I doubt this is misplaced information. Wonder what this means for the future of the festival? It was Michael Eavis who said it in an interview with the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/jun/26/michael-eavis-laments-muddiest-ever-glastonbury-festival Edited June 28, 2016 by JanieM28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Wasn't there far more coaches than last year this year? Nothing can help with that level of Mud and things getting slowed down in set up. Would say this year all but rule out Longleat.

I I'm not sure there are three times the number of coaches and drivers in the country, is the issue with that plan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawk Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 (edited) They'll be a smaller festival somewhere I guess, even if not at Longleat.. the full time staff need to something to do in the fallow years.
