Report from Wishy,

According to our man in the field, the guys who are checking the tickets/passes are like heavy bouncers, with zero sense of humour. :( - seems being empolyed by the ACO.

Theyu are checking the zoning of the tickets with vigour (poor vigour). There seems no tolenance, what ever zone you are in thats the only section you can be in!

They are being strick on pitch sizes as well.

I think we don't have to worry about Friday, looks like it could be bl**dy rediculous Wed/Thur/Fri and god knows what Sat (with late arrivals and tickets) is going to be like.

Like H said

Goody, I'll buy some extra eggs to throw at them  ;)

If they are true "bouncers" they'll be strong in the arm and thick in the head; we'll be able to run rings round these people, their lives will be made a misery!  :D
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

t,

I thought the pitches were supposed to be 7 x 5m, however, I spoke with a mate who arrived yesterday and he says the pitches vary greatly in size.  MB has been superb for years, only the ACO could try to regiment it (have they a new German director??).

Last update directly from Paddy.

They are checking furiously on the zoning. A couple who were in the wrong zone, B instead of E, had to breakup their tents and move to the right zone. Also it is not nearly as busy as it was last year. People are just trickling in. Last year on tuesday the place was packed, at least the front part of the site, maybe lots of the early arrivers are in zone D and E now. They also wanted some explanation about why we were building a stage and erected a truss system (to put lights and speakers on), Paddy had to explain we are having a party, and we do not sell beer and blablabla. They are still reserving space for Delboy and JPC, with the invoices they have, they do not bother them about that anymore (so far). It looks to Paddy that there is three times more security on site then last year.

Spaces are all 35 sqM, so spacewise everybody gets the same amount, spaces do not vary as had been said earlier on in this topic. I have to get overthere, they already finished three kegs!!!
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

It will be interesting to see if the additional security results in no Pikies getting on the sites!!

So has anyone arriving after thier advance party successfully got into MB?

If they have their camping ticket, that could me they get issued another plot whereas their party already has one on the strength of their invoice? If they rely on just their general entrance ticket, that shouldn't allow access to the campsite for the vehicle?

Our first cars arrive Weds night and another on Thursday (zone A) so any updates would be appreciated.

Confused and confudled before the beer ??? ???
