will this help the sunday riots?

i was just clicking around the 2009 site and i stumbled upon this

NO GAS CANISTERS OR CYLINDERS

For various reasons, mainly your and our staff’s safety, we have decided to bring our campsite policy in line with many other similar national events and we will not permit any gas, cylinders or petrol cookers into the campsites, or anywhere on site, this year. We suggest that if you want to cook outisde your tent that you bring disposable bbq’s only. They are also available at the nearby supermarkets. Anyone seen with canisters or cylinders will be ejected from site. Please help up with this, plan ahead and have a great camping experience.

The caravan and campervan ticket holders in white campervan field only will be permitted to bring in gas containers up to the limit of 3kg.

thoughts?

A bad thing for the festival in terms of the morons winning, if thats the right word to use. But a good thing for the festival as things should be much safer.

On balance more good than bad, you'd hope a few good years and they might let them back.

This only seems to apply to Reading. Good, I like my stove.

i hope this does only apply to reading, even though it was a bit of an issue with people blowing things up and putting themselves at risk..... at least i can have a pot noodle

Doesn't really matter to me, even though not being a vegetarian (but half of friends that went with last year are), we just used a disposable BBQ with a bit of white spirit to get it going.

Really was that bad actually =)

It's on the Leeds site too apparently, you just have to dig for it.

To be fair I'd rather not be able to cook then take some shrapnel to the nuts.

I've looked and I can't find anything.

Shame, I do enjoy a coffee and Pot Noodle in the morning.

Probably a sensible move though.

Very sensible I think. Still isn't going to make me stay on Sunday evening mind (I'm gonna head off home straight after Radiohead finish).

[brighteyes]

Has anyone ever tried making a pot noodle with cold (or tent-warm) water? Might be worth a try

[batman_23]

i can have a pot noodle to, i've just gotta boil a pan of water up on a disposable bbq
