Arcticz Liam Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I posted this in the "State Of The Ground " topic too, but it's worth sticking in here also I think - I'm based in Nottingham and it's been raining here non stop, very heavily, since pretty much Monday/Tuesday and only stopped about an hour and a half ago. I've just been out on my lunch and in the 90 minutes since it stopped literally everywhere has dried up and you wouldn't have any idea that it had ever rained now. With that in mind, and the forecast over the next week or so, I don't think we have anything to worry about in terms of mud and the ground when people arrive in 12 days. As @deebeedoobee has been telling us, the ground is holding well and Pilton hasn't had half as much as the rest of the country. KTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMF Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think this thread is being controlled by a Russian bot, they are collecting data on you all and you are being categorised as Permanently Optimistic, Permanently Pessimistic, Opinion Easily Influenced by the Latest News. In the event of a General Election or Referendum, those in the third category are going to get bombarded with "information" on all social media platforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People from different ends of the country arguing about who has or hasn't interpreted a weather model correctly! I never knew the weather could be so controversial.

morph100 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Would you still buy a ticket for Glastonbury if you knew it would rain the entire time? someone make a poll if you like I just tried and failed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be there whatever the weather decides to do. My wife is totally different on the other hand. The fact I haven't been giving her daily updates on the weather situation this year tells her there's some uncertainty at the moment. I'm confident it's going to be brilliant however!

This needs clarification. Is it drizzle or are we talking proper lashing with rain? Assumably we are talking not hard enough to close the stages but definitely enough for trench foot by Monday? Either way, yes. Edited June 14, 2019 by JoBalls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMorgz92 Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Seeing people selling their Download tickets before the event..... would this put anyone off Glastonbury? 2016 for example the reports from Wednesdays' nightmare travel....

Have to say I was pretty restless waking up on the Wednesday in 2016 knowing we weren’t going over TIL the Thursday. After seeing the reports of the queues and conditions I was over the moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still had a good time but others I was with did not. Morale was very low by the Sunday. A couple mates with mobility issues were in a really bad way. If there was any indication that this year was going to be exactly the same or worse, then a fair number of my lot wouldn't go/would try to sell their ticket.
