Obviously there's no technical reason it couldn't happen, but it wouldn't be cheap or quick as they'd need to lay proper foundations and have the concrete properly sealed to prevent leakage into the ground. Whenever the foundations are built or refurbished it's done with the intention that they'll be used for decades so it's going to be considered a long term investment.

Realistically, any changes involving something like that would have at least started well before now - it's the kind of thing you'd need to get out of the way before the build properly kicks in.

I suppose if they were really in the way of their plans they could leave them shuttered and place composters elsewhere but I’d be surprised if they did that.

could just get rid of a whole bank of toilets full stop to provide space, its definitely one of the quieter area of the festival

unlikely though of course but would probably be fine

Yeah 👍 also the ones by the Avalon tent are very good aswell. Maybe because they both have easier access for the big blue van to drop off the cleaning crews 🤷🏼‍♂️ the other long drop locations must be a pain to get to

The positions of the long drops are very entrenched

BBC introducing could defo become a lot bigger of a tent, it was pretty tiny. I guess you don't really want it empty all day with no atmosphere then full for late night 

I could see it changing orientation to fit a bigger tent in that new area. Where they put it last year blocked up one of the main routes to the pyramid. 

This was what that field looked like in 2019

They could open that route back up and it looks like there's loads of space for a bigger tent up in the top left.

I really hope so.  If both Strummerville and Williams Green go that'll be upsetting. 😞

I read it that they will carry on but raise funds for existing charities rather than through the foundation. Bloody hope so, anyway.

same. they're two of my favorite areas.

I'm really sorry to hear that Strummerville (the charity) is ending. Considering how expensive it is for bands to tour nowadays, they were such a great resource to help new bands.

Since they changed the official name from Strummerville some time back, maybe the area will carry on without them. Not sure, but I think it might have started before the Foundation involvement (when it was in the Unfairground, where Joe's stone is).

Arcadia have a RN Seaking tail number xv371 … I thought that one above used to be in the south east corner somewhere but that was Westland Whirlwind Tail number XK911. More digging required
