No armband or imprint on your hand to show you are 18? No bizarre 1/2 pint vouchers for £1, no matter what the tipple - so that by the end of the evening, you inevitably gravitate to all the dark ones at 6% ABV, because by then you know no better? And no Programme with free tickets in which they stamp like a Train Conductor would to a ticket? It's all so very WRONG! There have to be complications inherent in the system to test your addled brain when it starts to get dark! That's just not cricket!

the only complication I recall from last year was the queue we encountered at one entrance; over a rather small bridge, which was being monitored by some security types trying to prevent anyone from taking glass bottles on to the field. The bar will complicate itself because ,as with many beer-fests, the people on the far side of it are volunteers and there will not be enough of them

Given how close the festival site is to a river and the recent (not to mention continuing) damp weather, does anyone know for sure if this event is still happening? Pitch inspection tomorrow morning

Apparently the festival is definitely going ahead, although it will be rather muddy.

It means turn up, get fucked on real ale and tit about in the mud. I've got a football too When are the Salisbury lot arriving then? You have well done on getting promoted beers to drink and then the customary "you'll only last one season, like us" rant from Sutton

You have well done on getting promoted beers to drink and then the customary "you'll only last one season, like us" rant from Sutton Train gets in about 11-30, I think. Will happily enter any ridiculous bet that we WILL last more than a season! Maybe Daza could broke it for us?

Make that 12-30. Having a lion and taking a later train. Very colloquial language is English....

Still can't remember why you all went to Spalding, anyway. Is that the Tinpot equivalent of sending onesself to Coventry?
I think we have a similar arrangement local to us - it's known as Eastleigh.
