Been spending far too much money at the cider bus the last few years.
I've always said, even if there was no music on at all I'd still go to the festival
Have you been since they put up the big fence? Really put a stop to all the tent robbing that did Best thing they did imo

Best thing they did imo Where did you normally camp. I used to go up the top of the field behind the tipee field/childrens field (no chance of being flooded and too far of the beaten track to be trampled accidentally). Used to go on the wednesday morning, get drunk then help everybody arriving put there tents up, amazed some friends who arrived on the thursday afternoon and seemingly knowing most people in the field by name

We always camp in exactly the same spot - on the field by the pyramid - that way we can see the bands from our tent if we're in no fit state to move and we're also close to the flushers

Never been to Reading, tried to get tickets this year but no joy. Going to V Festival but I hear that it's more an outdoor gig than a festival

Been to V for the day before (the week before we were off to Reading!) - I think that's the trouble - lots of day trippers which doesn'y really make for a good atmosphere if you know what I mean. Nice 'clean' festival though! Always a good lineup. Enjoy

Gonna cost me a fortune! Someone said the camping is completely seperate too and you have to go through turnstiles to see bands and get body searched! 
Hardly a festival atmosphere then is it.Still it's a weekend of drunken debauchery so I don't care
