The stage bar is always easier to get served
The stage bar is always easier to get servedA slight moan now but I think something needs to be done to improve the service at the bars, if they are not going to allow people to take their own drink in, you really shouldn't have to then spend the entire Cast set 10 deep at the bar waiting to get a beer.

The Darkness are the only decent band they've had there. They'd have to pay me to watch most of it.
Yeah, totally agree with that.Wow!
Not even the best band at this years festival
I would love to put a tender in to run the bars for next year. Whoever ran it this year lost out on a fortune.

I would love to put a tender in to run the bars for next year. Whoever ran it this year lost out on a fortune. A couple of simple fixes:
1) Make every pint £5. In the grand scheme of things 30p makes no difference to anyone. It's easier for the bar staff to add up, most people pay by notes, no waiting for change.
2) Pre pour loads of pints rather than waiting for people to order them.
3) Employ more bar staff.
4) Have another bar.
Got to say it did taint it slightly for me and the number of people stood at the bar when they should have been watching the acts was ridiculous.
Saying that.........great day. And will be back up there later to shake this hangover off.
Yeah, totally agree with that.
Been some great bands at the Godiva over the years and from all genres.
It was irritating and the pints they poured were usually the wrong ones. I seen a shit load of bitter sitting there going flat.I would love to put a tender in to run the bars for next year. Whoever ran it this year lost out on a fortune. A couple of simple fixes:

Anyone heard of a stabbing today?
Rumours going round that it happened just a little while ago, but I am particularly disbelieving and suspicious of any rumour.
My daughter's best friend is round and we were at the festival. Now her dad has rang me up to make sure she is safe saying there has just been a stabbing.
Cannot see anything on the CT site and when you type into Google nowt comes up. Now if this was 2 hours ago you would have thought it would be all over the net by now.
Annoying me a tad now too because this friend is now saying she is scared. What? We are back home and been back home for ages. We saw no stabbing and they were never ever under any threat whatsoever while we were there.
How can you be scared about something that happened after you left and that you didn't see?
That's like me coming back from the Ricoh after a game and hearing someone was stabbed at the game and my then being scared whilst back home watching tv on the sofa.
Maybe it's true, but I do hate rumours and mountains out of molehills are nearly always made.
Lots of comments on social media about trouble and drug use but can't see anything confirming a stabbing.Didn't hear about a stabbing, but lots of gangs up there fighting and lots of teenagers falling about the place pissed up, a little bit upsetting for my 8 yr old daughter
Semantics but yeah they could have made a lot more.
My point is they are the biggest band to be attracted to such a small gig in real terms - they were at download not that long ago. Their first album alone sold 3 million copies.

Went last night and have to say that it was a chav fest. Not just kids but pissed up adults with kids running riot. Go every year but last night was by far the most intimidating. Time to start chrging an entry fee i think.

Yeah and that's just the bands!!Glass all over the place up there at 9 this morning, bottles thrown against the the various frames in the kids playing area shattering in the sand etc.
Hope they're proud of themselves, first time I've ever left the usually fantastic memorial park due to feeling unsafe for myself and my son due to the glass!
Also some very boozed up people in there still effing and blinding all at 9am.
Agree with a lot of this, I can't understand why there are so many links in the chain. You get to the bar and are then asked what you want, you give your order, they tell you how much and take your money, they take the money to a till and tell another person operating the till what you have ordered, the person behind the till then says how much and takes the money, they open the till and give any change due to the bar staff, they then bring your drinks and change. Why not get the person operating the till pouring pints and let the rest operate like a normal pub bar.I would love to put a tender in to run the bars for next year.

Just got back from going up with the kids, went int he Rhythm tent a bit for some Ska band, Kingsize I think, they were good. Listened to whoever was on the main stage for a bit but my 2 year old fell asleep and I had to get her back to her pushchair. Is it me, or did there used to be more tents? It seemed to just be those two (Rhythm and Main) and one other with a bunch of school bands and the like in it. I swear a few years ago there were 4 or 5 music tents, plus comedy and the like. Maybe I'm imagining it.
Think from the sounds of it I'll stick to Sundays with the kids in future, unless there's someone I really want to see and I can get childcare.
Overall, not as good as it used to be, but better than I feared.
I really liked the song Foundations, but today I watched the first song and thought it was awful, so we left then and went home. A world apart from her earlier stuff. Not sure if the whole set was like that.Just got back from Godiva, today's event was much better than yesterday (didn't see any trouble today), the Darkness were absolute class, my dad who is 76 was not impressed with Kate Nash's continuous use of the 'F' word, and thought the song dick head was atrocious
