People miss the point as usual
Which is?
There wasn't one [8D]
Actually there was.
I said how am I supposed to find my mates now?
Your by the burger van at main stage? aye ok which one.
Why don't you and your friends try to be a little smarter about how to plan where to meet. E.G. Pick a spot where there is only one type of stall instead of using one of the 6 million burger vans. I believe you may have a brain somewhere, try finding it and attempting to use it.

ORIGINAL: Festival Director
Due to an overwhelming number of complaints from people and now we have had chance to view the footage from previous years and can see what everyone means (and not see the acts on stage!), we will be banning flags on sticks in the main arena. Hope you all understand that this is to ensure that everyone can enjoy what's on stage.
great news, john! those flags truely are a pain in the arse.

Great decision, and judging by the responce 99% of people agree with you. Who needs a flag at a festival, it is POINTLESS.

Great Decision.
Out of Interest is anybody against this? Ive heard one or two nonses in other threads saying "Oh they'll be banning fun next". But honestly whats the bloody points of Flags anyway?
They only need to be in the Campsites.

I guess the flag/flagpole sellers will just have to diversify :)
Good call young man, brave decision though, as you can see from the replies there are plenty of people not happy about the decision.... ;)

Think this is a good idea. As others have said, it stops the view of the stage being blocked.
Always wondered how people managed to hold up bl00dy great flags on poles for so long anyway - they must have immense arm muscles [8D]
