kalifire Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just a collection of random observations/experiences over the weekend. Mel C’s crowd is so large they closed the track from West Holts to Williams Green. Perhaps time to rethink music on Thursdays? With so little on, anything even remotely popular will be insanely rammed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I’m obviously not there but from the look of the photos of the Park last night they could perhaps do with considering a limit on the number of people able to arrive on Wednesday. Or putting stuff on away from the Park. Edited June 23, 2022 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dingbat2 Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 We seem to have lost a lot of urinals, in the camping fields I walk through anyway (pylon/bushy/rivermead) not sure why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K2SO Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Feels very overcrowded to me. Also think they need to re-think Thursday. Bin off the WG set and maybe put it on a stage like West Holts? At least it can cope with large numbers of people. Took nearly an hour to get from WG to Other 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does come a point where it gets stupid and has an impact on peoples ability to enjoy it. As much as I would love to be there, part of me can';t be assed with that many people now. I like my 4/5k festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peroni Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 It was nuts in williams green, left to lie in the pyramid.... It's massively more busy today and yesterday. I'd imagine the hot weather and the gap of three years has a lot to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew we'd need to get there early for Mel C DJ set... But it was intense with people barging around. We left midway and field was already closed off. Doesn't help the guardian guide hinted it'd be a proper set, didn't mention explicitly it'd be DJ.. so there were lots of youngsters /families there as well who perhaps weren't expecting it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_coholic Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Park was too busy for Eats Everything and Baggy Mondays. BBC intro is now very busy for Four Tet and the sound bleed is awful from The Hive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is fine imo, the more the merrier etc. But if they only increase parking/camping and not the physical size of the social areas then they may run into some problems at some point.

Don't agree with this, there comes a point where the 'less is more' rule needs to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooter Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Well yea know what you mean but having minimal attractions on a hugely busy day is going to cause problems on any size festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
