Weather !

[Staffs Jack]

OK so we have had serious rain the last 2 years (my pic is from Saturday last year). Surely to god this year its got to be dry, has'nt it ??? I dont need tropical sunshine, just dry . Not much to ask for in August is it ??

[tazzyb]

Not at all but I have had more dry glastonburys the V's

I think that we should have a good summer this year we have had a proper winter

[Rick_G]

yeh hoping for a bit of sun this year!

for me the rain on saturday night made it better for me watching the verve, dont really know why!

but hoping for the whole weekend to be like what friday was last year really!

im talking stafford obviously

[Rick_G]

i agree!

pitching the tent in the sunshine, beer in hand and good company was just quality!

[TheNewUnion]

Last year wasn't too bad really. Could avoid the mud if you made the effort, a dry one would be great though. I can see it now, lounging on the lush grass whilst a combination of Seasick Steve and cider banishes the last traces of my hangover - bliss!

Totally agree was sunbathing after pitching my tent on the Friday i think the rain definately added to the atmosphere while watching the Verve and u didnt notice the amount of pee and cups flying about

[Rick_G]

you just thought ahhh warmth as it came flying over lol

joking of course

[Gaaz]

Oasis = Suuuuuuunsheeeeineeee

i heard the last time it was amazingly sunny, was when Oasis headlined in 2005

What is this obsession people have with the weather?

Good fun will be had whether its p*ssing it down or the sun out in full force!!! Just go with it.

its just that little bit nicer when the sun is shining! tis lovely to sit down on dry grass, chilling and watching some music in the day. plus without the wet boggy mud it makes it alot easier to run over to another stage to see another band if two were on at clashing times! the boggy crap last year made that impossible....well it did for me anyway! still it was fun, just prefer the sunnyness!

[redmad1971]

Don't mind the rain, but the ground at Staffs just don't drain. Some of the poor folks in orange had pools of water running into their tents, and mud everywhere.

Listening to the Verve with the progressive rain is a classic V memory for me

I want a warm, sunny festival!

How can they predict the weather this far away?

[Rhyscot]

Im hoping for a bit of both, maybe the saturday really hot and sunday, then get the mud pit up and running for the sunday so it hopefully p**ses down.

[DeadAmos]

Last year I got sunburn layed outside the van Thursday afternoon

[Rhyscot]

How can they predict the weather this far away? Usually they don't even have a clue what its gonna be like when they're predicting the weather for just a few days ahead!

[Staffs Jack]

hahh thats soo true, how the hell can they predictt that.. i remember last year when it was like a week away they got the weather wrong ! i wouldnt go by that

[Lunion]

the weather for V - Staffs this year is.......

It really doesn't bother me, i just get on with having a laugh and listening to great music!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[richietal]

We cant have another stinker, a bit of rain is fine but when your eyes are buring because of hair gel then it kinda takes the fun out of it !

[indie-rocknroll]

I'm not bothered aboutt he rain, possibly a bit nicer if it is sunnier but when I have been to festivals with loads of sunshine, friends etc.. get heat exhaustion and sun burn and drink more, end up in bed pissed up early

The rain cools my poppers etc.. rushes down ha ha

A bit of rain never hurt anyone
