    My youngest who is back from Leeds uni and my other half went down to WSM this morning set of at 7:30am no tickets,got in at 11:00am wet and drowned rats come to mind.

    But it was packed apparently.

    We British love a show,but to stand and wait for over two hours you gotta be mad.

    Banksey has brought the crowds to Weston,and some well deserved income.

    i have fond memories of the Tropicana when i was a kid.

    Love to see it turned in a huge water park for all to enjoy.

    I'd like to go, but I detest crowds - hoping it'll die down once the kids go back to school, but the interest has been so massive I'm not sure even that'd be enough.

    I was first in today.....bought a ticket online yesterday.
    Obviously it all depends on your taste, opinions and views;
    but I thought it was superb. After those with tickets get in they start
    to let in those without. Never really seemed crowded: I spent over
    two hours there and could have easily stayed longer....but Glos were playing Hampshire!

    When you get there you'll see a queue in the grassed area. Today they were all those without tickets.
    Make sure you don't waste time queueing behind them; pester and find out where those with tickets are queuing!

    There's grass in W-S-M? And there's me thinking it was all fish and chips and mud.

    I've heard the Welsh are suing Banksy over this - they claim that they invented this years ago - located at Barry Island.

    Billy Ocean - red light spells danger
    Abracadabra - Steve Miller
    Stevie Wonder - you. can feel it my lover
    Abba - knowing me knowing you

    Top 4 from 1976 - happy memories of playing football in the fields at the bottom of 'steps end' Dundry.
    Followed by roasted potatoes done in foil on a campfire.
    And CITY in the PREM

    Happy days indeed - the sunshine never stopped. I remember chew lake drying out so you could see the old Morton road.

    I got their at 1.30pm waiting to go in at 2pm, thought the guards were quite funny shouting "no smiling" as you walk through although I was laughing at this point so was told to look up to the camera <laugh>. Ended up leaving at 5.30pm and thought It was fantastic myself.
