What was the best Glade year of all? (re-vote)

by **Sperge** on 14 Aug 2007, 14:15

Some veterans insist the first year has never been beaten, others say 2005 had it just right, yet some even favoured 2007's mudbath.

Which was the best Glade ever for you? :unsure:

[Edit: this is a re-vote, as the board software cancelled all the old votes when I added the 2008 option - in the old poll, 2005 was the best year, with 2007 a very close second).

was at 2006 and 2007, thought 2007 was better heard more music and talked to more random ppl..but 2006 was still amazin

2006/2007 were almost 2 totally different festivals due to the weather, but 2007 ppl seemed to have more fun and be more up for it...last year ppl monged out and lazed about in the sun for 4 days..the overkill tent for jimmy edgar on sunday last year was really dead...loadsa ppl...but no energy....sunday at the overkill tent this year for scotch egg, clark etcwas totally bouncin....those who werent totally floooded out seemed to have a good laugh moreso than last year

they've all been good, but the first was amazing

by **baldmosher** on 15 Aug 2007, 22:31

if 2005 Glade had lasted for over a week it wouldn't've been even slightly boring. I discovered so much and Afx was incredible.

by **Chopper** on 16 Aug 2007, 11:34

well....i reckon 2007 will come out on top....purely coz there were more people at it....so more people to vote for it!

I personally loved this year (may actually be my favourite), but I wouldn't have been at any if the first one wasn't so good! So thats what I voted!

i've only been last year and this year and this year was better for me. didn't have the same mates with me so i saw more different stuff plus rain/mud never bothers me

by **kgnome** on 17 Aug 2007, 10:40

Heh, heh. Haccording to mah crystal bollocks, best Glade year of all will be 2008. 'Til then, in first place 2005, then 2007, wid last year crawling like sick puppy wid broken legs, cos Jimmie Saville picked half the line-up. Dunno about 2004, cos no-one told me about The Glade, bastards!!!

Dint go to 04, so can't say.
I thought this year was the most mental, cos people were making up for the weather and mud by just going for it big time. However, the lovely sunshine and free mushrooms of 2005 probably swing it for me.
I actually voted for 2007, though, as I thought the organisers really did so well to have such an amazing line-up AND keep the festival going in such adverse conditions.

2006 had Saunderson who did the best set of all Glades IMO.

by **ouzodave** on 25 Aug 2007, 21:20

2004 every time for me because it was so intimate,new,fresh. They have all been great in different ways. 2006 weather was fantastic. 2005 free mushies being given away before midnight before the shit law change. 2007 the music was much better for me personally but the weather can fuck off though. Except for this year i have started having a bit of trouble working out which act i saw and what year now

by **Waffman** on 31 Aug 2007, 18:34

It just has to be 2006 for me! This years mud really pushed it down. Just the fact i couldn't sit anywhere i wanted! Also it was louder laster year

by **Tigmyth** on 01 Sep 2007, 10:26

For me it's a close run thing between 04 and 07 but I think 07 gets it. 04 was fantastic, really small and great vibe but that was easy to achieve with the weather we had. This year the vibe was easily as good but with the adverse weather conditions we all faced that has to be more of an achievement.

Load of piss flaps this year. Of course no matter how shit the weather is anyone on these forums will turn round and say "oh this one was the best festival in recorded history". Must have been so distressing in 2006 to be in the sun. Let's hope next year the whole thing gets rained off in a 5 day storm so we can all say "it didn't run but still it was the best EVER, far better than 2007". Then in 2009 don't host it at all - the best possible experience can be had by not going but paying for a ticket so you can just imagine how good it would have been had their been a festival.

Cunting fuckflaps.

Guess he's not much for rain.

haha, cunting fucklaps is a good expression

Great - just spent time looking on all the other Glade boards to find out had it rained for just 2 more hours they would have had to cancel. So it sucked as much as it was possible to suck and then just stopped raining in time for them to decide "we ought to cancel but that would ruin our profits - well this bunch of muppets won't mind - no matter how bad it is we'll just say - ah well the conditions brought everyone together". How can anyone say this was anything other than rancid? - the conditions were so bad that not even loads of drugs could make it not depressing.

I had a fucking great time and so did loads of other people. Then again I was armed with a kagool, waterproof troosers and wellies, so the weather can go fuck itself up the arse.

Most people I bumped into also seemed to be having it as well.

I can't imagine any sane person claiming it was better than it would have been if hot and sunny, but I think most people really did have a top time despite the shite conditions.

Having saif that, you obviously didn't and this is certainly the forum to shout about it...!

Now - tell us what you think about David Cameron (on another thread, obv.)
