That's in like 40 mins. You better start preparing  instead of sitting on here like the rest of us with no lives!

No prep required, thankfully! Wondering if I can sneak my phone in and then feign sudden illness if an alert comes through

In a nut shell what has happened today is:

All those who have waited patiently for over a week have now been joined by hundreds of part time chancers thanks to the Oily rag journos publishing the link we have had.

If I were SEE I would now change that link if it were ever real - meaning any advantage we might have had is gone.

Thanks a fecking bunch Somerset live

I don't think they'll change it - they don't care who has the link. They just want to sell all the tickets they can per their agreement with GF. 

And I've been a member of that FB group for a long time - most of them are chancers, but they're also the type of person to click a link, see it's dead, and then forget about it. They aren't the type to bookmark or set up pingers or figure out clever ways to be first in line when the sales come (for the most part) - they simply wait for someone to tell them and then they click. As long as a sale isn't due in the next hour we will probably have business as usual. And even if it does, a lot of those people are now dubious of SALE IS ON NOW posts, and might not click when a real alert is posted.

Just send her the link to this;

GF won't change the URL to the main page, so as long as we're monitoring that one we're in with a good chance. 

It's all good guys, this happens every year (so I'm told).

My bad only part time lurking today I thought people on this forum were the ones spreading the rumors

email her and tell her that she's publishing FAKE NEWS!

I phoned up someone at one of the locals to say that, and they felt I was being more abusive telling them they were publishing FAKE NEWS than their FAKE NEWS was abusive to their readers.

Which only goes to show the high opinion that geezer had of himself.

I think we should leave it as a lot of people think they missed it, thus increasing our chances.  If everyone else finds out that it still hasn't happened then we will have more competition

Have I missed much?

That's definitely a made up name

[beefykoala]

I couldn't help myself...

[amyharvz]

let's definitely all start emailing the journalist at Somerset Live to say we did/didn't get tickets to throw people off the scent
