It was a few idiot kids who shut up as soon as the police were called! I was getting a burger when the police turned up and they just laughed their heads off and left! they wouldn't be doing that if anything at all serious happened!rnrnfantastic event, caught soooo many good bands, even the futureheads who surprised me as i'm not a massive fan. the campsite was fun too, it's always expected to have a couple of idiots but the whole of sunday night was cool, people all talking to each other and having fun.

I was camped down the hill and saw pretty much everything… 40-50 total crap…
Looks to me as though you are trying to make a story for the papers to make some money!
I agree the security were useless, I counted 6 of them, none of them did anything and they did not have radio's but to slate the organisers with this is bull, try Right Guard Security they were the ones to blame here!

There were NOT 40-50, maybe 15 but not more….
There was no fire I could see other than a camper with a BBQ, christ you like to make stuff up!!!
