JoeyT Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Funniest moments I can recall are the fake betting slip saga a few years ago and also the time a poster claimed he’d been told by Bob Harris when the lineup was out (it could have been the headliners I can’t remember exactly) If anyone can locate either of these things please do repost so we can all relive them. I have a feeling both things may have even come from the same forum member? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheffJeff Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 I feel like this photo from the football match needs a bit of explaining... are they shorts? I've never seen anything like them... surely they hampered his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes them less lengthy and much more tight fitting. Sexy little minx that he is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he said he was betting like 2k or something silly cos he'd been told as dead certain that the roses were gonna headline! That was one of my highlights. I really wanted to believe him, i think i even did for a bit! Until someone worked out the betting slip was photoshopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember my wateraid t shirt, and remembering to pack my pom poms before going out for the day 🙂 Anyone got any pictures of memories from that day ? The efestivals World Cup games were 2009 (Wednesday) and 2010 (Thursday). 2009 raised over £3000 and 2010 over £9000. and England won both...easily 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the charities losing income from the 2020 festival cancellation we were discussing bringing it back as a one off for 2021 but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

Pinhead Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 I vaguely remember at the time it was slated to be repeated the following year, however logitically this proved very difficult because it became so complicated to complete all the festivals official requirements for the event to reoccur.

The Nal Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Just as well, this was the weather on the Wednesday in 2011. Don't think they would've let us play. I still have this in my wardrobe. Now to find that pic of @hogga. Stumbled upon it a few weeks ago but I cant find it now! Weekend mission. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we didn’t do it in 2011 was the amount of time and effort it took up in 2010 (2009 and 2010 we still had to risk assess, get approval from the festival and Wateraid legal team with any posters etc so logistically it didn’t get any worse). This effort increases because we wanted it to raise more money (as Michael Eavis challenged us to at least double the amount from 2009) and be a bigger event. Having to organise the fundraising and more entertainment (Attila the stock broker and the super group Wronghorn were there for half time entertainment and Supernovas for post match, as well as Hobo Jones as the usual pre match warm up) took up a lot of time before the festival and even on the Wednesday. As Nal’s picture from 2011 shows, we probably dodged a bullet as it wouldn’t have been the same in them conditions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
