Next Announcement 2017 Thread

[The Red Telephone]

Going through a pretty bad spell in my life at the mo...currently sitting in a cafe having just sorted myself a new house, had confirmation that I'm starting a new job in 6 weeks and now sat down to catch up on this thread.

Have read about cut-price bowls, my beloved Coventry City -  and watched some cracking goals, that amazing Groove Armada performance and the astonishing Barry "Something Inside So Strong" clip. Plenty of LOLZ from me to bemused customers in this place.

Oh, and the line up is out later!

Life is getting better...

Haven't been able to read since 10am.. can somebody enlighten me to any new info over the past 20odd pages??

I can see the poster still isn't out after the endless '57mins' countdowns :(!!

Neil knows when the line-up's going to drop but will only keep reminding us of the fact that he's not telling us.

Which was nice.

I'm treating @eFestivals' location as a game of "hot and cold", if he's at the shop I'm thinking we're about 5 hours away from an announcement...

 

How long does it take you to get a sandwich? Blimey

This is when it really hits home that I wasn't lucky enough get a ticket this year. And being the pessimist that I am - I have no hopes for the resale. 

I feel like it's Christmas Eve and Santa is on his way with all the presents, and all my school friends are excited amd expectant - but I know I'm only getting a lump of coal this year. 

Somebody hold me! 

Saying that - I'm excited for everybody with tickets though!! 

In exactly the same position, but there's the resales and the secret resales still so get that optimism up!

I did get tickets in last years resale so it's always possible mate!

It's very hard supporting Coventry City, League 2 awaits, awful owners, no stadium and I refuse to give money to those SISU bastards. I'll be at Wembley because it's the best thing that happened the club in 30 years but I can't see anything changing and it could just get worse from here

I also said I wasn't going to Wembley for the same reason.

Wonder if @karaseen decided to do the same with her teaching...

Did the teaching!  Got through it without slipping into Glasto chat once. I did have to turn my phone on airplane mode though and lock it in my drawer.

Yep and added to that a council that sold the City's football stadium to a London rugby franchise and moving their academy to a possible secondary school.. 

Its lineup day though so Just Gotta Stay Positive

For anyone who seen The Avalanches tweet, presuming it had words similar to 6pm news from them.

Shame it Wasn't Luton Coventry, would have been about 60-70000 there I reckon.
I assume Oxford are taking about 4500.......

Nope.

People just presume they scheduled it wrong, like the V Festival stuff 

[Tartan_Glasto]

This must all be pretty entertaining for Neil haha

Just had one of those facebook timehop things. We got the first poster this day last year.

This is worrying news. Looks like there could be a pattern forming.

my gf supports luton, I support coventry.. we'd been so hopeful, that semi final was tense. 

anyway got my wembley ticket and can't wait.. unless we get absolutely battered. At least we've had 2 wins on the trot now for the first time in forever. Also beat Bristol who are one place above Oxford.. it must be possible.
