But then there's the cost of the extra infrastructure.
All current space is allocated somehow. So a further field would be required....
I'm not being a killjoy, just realistic.

How about our own personal screens attached to our camping chairs or better still inside our pop up tents? Or better still televise the festival then we wouldn't have to drag ourselves all the way over to Oxfordshire.  |

Or better still televise the festival then we wouldn't have to drag ourselves all the way over to Oxfordshire. That must be a really heavy bummer, all the way from Worcester!! I still think a big screen would be a good idea, as people do take up more space now (and will continue to whether we like it or not as it's almost impossible to police) so the crowd have moved a lot further back than they used to be. The sound quality recedes the futher back you go, as borne out by many posts just on Talkawhile, so a big screen would help focus attention forwards, as it were. We can't all go and stand at the front, there isn't the space and it would cause more of a health hazard to have 20,000 people trying to get down the front. But a big screen or two would ensure fair play for everyone. I was amazed they didn't have one first time I went. Just my humble opinion, you understand. |

Off-topic a bit, sorry, but I have to agree with Bridgwit - I thought a screen at the back of the sound stand would have been a good idea too. But what really needs sorting out is the sound quality at the top of the field. First time we went we were sat way back and thought it was great anyway - second time we sat nearer the front and realised what we'd been missing!
Oh and I liked 10CC too.
But I thought Jethro Tull were the bee's knees in 2004.

Presumably they were bleeding because you were bouncing bottles off their heads?  |

What about Field 11 - where the Wristband Exchange is situated. It tends not to get used very much - too uneven for a start. |

Field 11 is a very important field - the Emergency Evacuation field, should anything go seriously wrong in the arena....

Bleeding morris men are a real nuisance. They make such a mess of the nice white costumes. |

You are all so hard on the Incredibles. Those who missed the banjo solo missed something..... quite unique! But on the good side, I see no mention of Lonnie Donegan. I think we were privileged to see a great man so close to his death. I thought it was a brilliant set and am very pleased we were there to see it.

Lonnie was indeed brilliant but never has a band been so inaptly named as the Incredibles?  !!!!. We were nowhere near hard enough. Welcome to the board! |

Where did that snowman come from? I didn't invite him in. If a discussion gets heated will he melt, leaving just a hat and scarf?
Edit: Three question marks in a row will cause the "Huh" smiley to be drawn (whether snowman or golden bauble or other smiley set) - Cheers Nick
