The old thread was so close to 200 pages. At least we can have another 100 page party in a couple of days time.

The most important question that's on everybody's lips (even those wearing a face mask) is:

How quick can we get this up to page 100?

Could government force them to only supply flushing toilets?(with running water and phone chargers)

[Keithy]

Bands postponing/pulling march tour dates now. That could be a bigger threat to G .... bands not going.

This is up there with Glastonbury possibly being taken away from us.

I’ve been having an argument with some of my friends who want the whole country locked down now and think it’s irresponsible that we aren’t doing anything.

I’ve been trying to explain that despite us supposedly doing nothing, our daily increase in cases is fairly flat and much lower than the rate the worst hit countries have been increasing - despite them putting some pretty severe measures in place.

The reality is our cases are going up at a rate roughly in between the best and the worst rates, and that’s with us doing very little.

So with Glastonbury parked to one side, I’m inclined to agree with our governments approach so far. It seems daft to jump in now and out a load of lock down measures in place when things are a lot better here than many places that have put them in place. And it also appears that the advice of our top medical professionals that stopping sporting events won’t do a lot appears to be largely true as well.

I think they would ... and Id hope under exceptional circumstances that there would be minimal negativity ( but Id fear different )

Perhaps they were lined up all along? We would never know. If it happened Mrs C like Mrs Amos would be quite happy!  Dont tell Mrs c but secretly I would also enjoy the singalong!

I would rather have no headliner at all

What about a triumvirate of previous legendary British headliners stepping in to save the day?

Arctics, Kasabian, Mumfords....? 😐

I'd quite like it if the poll in this thread had the option of changing one's vote. I voted 'likely to happen' and I'm still in that camp but would be interesting (and  >maybe<  informative? ) if the poll result could change to reflect the current situation.

Obviously am teetering on the point of changing my vote to 'It's happening'

to be honest the only reason i kept checking this thread was to see movement in the polls ? can people no longer vote

We would end up with Killers, Muse, Kate Bush, Biffy, Noel/Liam and Coldplay threads, do you really want to encourage that? And maybe even, god forbid, a Ball and Boe thread!

They’re definitely still changing as I’ve noticed the ‘no chance’ steadily rose by about 1% over the past week or so 

[Spindles]

I'm still firmly in the "I haven't got a fucking scooby" camp.  We are literally in the week where we'd expect/hope for the lineup poster.

We need a Swingometer with @eFestivals as the compere.

If after all this stress and worry  it is not cancelled this going to be such an amazing Glastonbury. 

Gonna go bananas for the first act in the realisation its actually on.

 

(hopefully fatboy slim opening the pyramid stage)
