I reckon all the complainants will cough up anyway.  There was lots of moaning last year to be fair and some people suggested a name drop/area drop before the window closed might encourage punters to pay the balance.  In the end - not needed.

Yeah, even then you can guarantee a resale will sell out - so there's no rush to release new information.

Someone on FB who claims to work for Silver Hayes says they are dropping next week.

Yep, makes sense to me. Get balances paid then we're at the business end of the run-in, with an area poster each week on average. The exciting part.

In only 12 weeks, you'll all be flowing through those giant green gates. 12 weeks!!!

12 Weeks!  I'd better start trying to lose my winter fat stores and up my fitness then!

12 weeks? Is that enough time for the ground to firm up? I may need to revise the packing list.

Once the rain eases off a little and the water table drops a few inches it'll only take a few windy days to dry sufficiently to avoid a quagmire.  It could probably sheet down until a week before gates open and still be fine if the weather did an about turn at that point.

But to be on the safe side let's hope it does an about turn sooner rather than later mainly just because I am already sick of rain and mud!!

This was such a transformation! Absolutely hosed down on the Friday and the mud was knee deep. But by Sunday afternoon I was in trainers.

I don’t think they would risk seeing how that plays out further down the line to be honest.

I came home from 2016 with sunburn.  We didn't leave til mid afternoon on the Monday, they'd been pulling people out of the carparks with tractors earlier in the day, ground was rock solid after a few hours of blazing sun and we were out in about 5 minutes.

I'm gonna bet that we get 2 announcements next week, Silver Hayes as well as Avalon/West Holts or the map.

12 weeks just lit a fire under me too, just not until I’m back home from this all inclusive on Monday. The more weight I gain the quicker you lose it, right?

Very underrated venue. Close to Poetry and Words/Mavericks too, another cracking venue.

Is "keep your beady eye on us" a clue? Liam Gallagher to launch his new career as a stand-up, headlining the cabaret tent? 😂

love how it just keeps rolling. very short gaps in between acts so you're getting a lot out of your time while youre there.
