Glaston-Ripoff
Ok guys it finally happened. You got too greedy this year. We trusted you by giving you our money up to 12 months ago and trusting you to give us a weekend like we have experienced in previous years, but this year you failed, miserably!!
1. No camping gas allowed? Where did it say that? No gas BBQ’s fine but camping stoves? How can you expect over 5000 people to survive without being able to even make a cup of tea, never mind cook food? Did you lay on extra facilites? No, Some of us had to sneak our stoves and gas canisters in and cook in our tents. (Excellent Security!!)You must admit, slightly dangerous! The designated BBQ area (about 8 meters square) was also a joke.
2. Food stalls this year were rubbish and over priced. The Glastonbudget moto has always been good value. Not this year. We came prepared to buy the quality of food that has been on offer in previous years, but ended up leaving the site and going to local supermarkets.
3. Who ever is responsible for the Main Stage line up which lets face it is why 90% of us go year after year should be sacked. If there is one way to clear a field, its put a new act on the main stage. Certainly worked with the screeching Robin woman and the BoobyCRAPS. Put them where they belong and give decent tribute acts the stage they deserve and the crowd what they came and paid to see.
I came to my first GB with 2 others, that has now grown and this year there were 25 in our group. All very happy with most of the bands we saw, but totally unsatisfied with the set up. Will we be coming to GB11, probably not. I don’t think we will be the only ones either.
