Yeah, I looked and just didn't fancy it.Nothing in the line up made me want to go this year.
Last 2 years I've taken the whole family up on the Friday.
Just thought it was particularly bland this year.
Had Saturday tickets, didn't go. They blew it not putting the footy on
Time to knock it on the head I feel
Overrun with the road man brigade, was reading about stampedes over kids and all sorts
For a council that is so skint I don't even think it makes money does it?
Had its heyday and been shit since about 2017
Yeah, he was the one artist I wanted to see.I went Friday and saw Richard Ashcroft who was great. Best value gig I've been too in a long time.

Sorry, but the overrun with the roadman brigade comment is bollocks.
Yes, there was an incident, but I've occasionally seen stuff like that happening since it started.
It's not good, but up until the didn't se a hint of trouble.
To knock something that's beens successful on the head is crazy talk to be honest. The more big events in the city the better, but I think there definitely needs to be a good luck at how this year's event went.
If you enjoy being surrounded by little twats with manbags pissed out their heads and sniffed up constantly 'sick ting bro' then enjoy, but there are a lot of Coventrians who don't bother anymore because it's a cesspit of some of the worst this city has to offer on the Saturday
Granted the Friday and Sunday eves seem alright from past experience
I haven’t been for years but when did they move everything including the fair behind the barriers? That seemed to stop a lot of people without a ticket from showing up. Did feel very empty.
Been barriers fur a few years but not sure when they put the fair in there.
We actually went to the fair yesterday which we haven't done for absolutely years.
12 year olds paying a fiver for a fair ride using apple pay on their phones was a new one on me.
I don't know who books the acts now but they want to have a rethink, less Saturday evening TV and more later with Jools, only Ashcroft on Friday held any appeal to me and that wasn't enough to make me go, hope they change direction as I used to really look forward to the weekend.Sorry, but the overrun with the roadman brigade comment is bollocks.

There were big queues to get in around 8-8.30pm when we got there so I imagine it was quite quiet before that.Did the crowd seem smaller than usual, ( I appreciate it pissed it down).
I don't get why they didn't put the football on if they had such a lovely big telly thereI went Friday and saw Richard Ashcroft who was great. Best value gig I've been too in a long time.

Problem is the biggest crowds etc are when they booked people like example etc so they have gone too far down that routeI don't know who books the acts now but they want to have a rethink, less Saturday evening TV and more later with Jools, only Ashcroft on Friday held any appeal to me and that wasn't enough to make me go, hope they change direction as I used to really look forward to the weekend.
But it was nothing like that. There was one incident, towards the end of the night, with a relatively small amount of little twats. There were far worse incidents years ago.
And the crowds have been big up until this year, Im just trying to work out if there was more to that than the football and the weather.
And yesterday, as is usual with the Sunday, was a great family day out, but still seemed a bit quieter than usual.
I still remember the final year before they fenced it up and started charging to get in, and there were riot police at about 7pm on the Saturday
Nah those were the best times. All of Cov for better or worse in one place and mostly off their face.

It's not just Johnnythespider though is it.To be fair, that’s a big call. They can’t be having a rethink based on what music Jonnythespider off the internet likes.
They definitely shouldn't rethink on what I like, it would be all over the place, just my response to why numbers appear to be down. It could just as easily have been the weather that kept people away.To be fair, that’s a big call. They can’t be having a rethink based on what music Jonnythespider off the internet likes.
