I can see our smiley flag which will be very much missed this year. Sorry your view was blocked..I've never had them bother me at all.

It wouldn’t be same without them IMO. Perhaps you could write to the festival and ask them to install more flags in Flagtopia. Then you could stare at flags all day and enjoy quintessential Glastonbury with other like minded flag lovers.

I don't remember ever having my view blocked/ruined by a flag but I'm never that close to the front. I think there are less of them these days. Overall I don't mind them.

danbailey80 Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I've never ever looked at fucking flag and laughed. If you can't find your friends wave your fucking hands in the air. Flag w*nkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ts that ruin people's view block up the passage ways and worst than all that ARE NOT DRINKING PROPERLY...... Because you can't drink properly whilst holding a stupid bloody flag..

Until a rather tanked up guy went storming to the front, pushing past everyone to tell them to take it down (he may have wrestled it out of their hands, the mood he was in). Everyone cheered when it was down. There's the famous Glastonbury spirit Edited May 11, 2019 by Voucher Boy Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrZigster Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 To all the prats who think it's justifiable to spoil everyone else's view with the "It's so we can find our way back to our mates", BS. LEARN TO TRIANGULATE, YOU SELFISH PRICKS. You're down from one landmark and across from another. Draw a straight line from each and that's where you are. FFS I was about five or six when I was taught that in order to find family on a crowded beach. If a six year old can do it, you do not need a bloody flag. And we all know it's a BS excuse. You're really carrying a flag to see if you can spot your vain, selfish arse on the telly, aren't you. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneCircle Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Neither flags nor umbrellas have any place at a music festival other than in the campsite. Dress appropriately for the weather, carry a waterproof and check your surroundings before leaving your spot for beverages etc. Please always think how your actions impacts others. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miesh Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Something that @BlackHole2006 said in our Bearded group chat made me think. I find people standing in front of me filming on their phones far more intrusive/annoying and otherwise detrimental to my enjoyment of the gig when compared to a few flags. However I accept that flags are an annoyance to many. If you must take one to a stage please take it down before the music starts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
