no the only perfect place ,due to site is the s6 park so says most ,but if it was big enough that area i agree meadowhall with the great tram and motorway links is a good idea,the big water park is there this year ,but that could be a winner if big enough,better than ruining our parks in sheffield.

Hmmm...

Following complaints from local residents, I've heard that SCC are now looking into the possibility of extending their maintenance contract with Amey to see if they can't tarmac over the whole park.

 

This would also solve the parking problems on match days.

 

Your thoughts?

I doubt many people drive to a music festival. They wouldn't be able to have a drink for a start. I don't think that public parks should be closed off for private events, so I do agree that Hillsborough Park is the wrong place for it. The field next to Crystal Peaks tram stop would be a good location off the top of my head. If Glastonbury can get permission from the farmers, I don't see why Tramlines can't.

that sounds a good idea,meadowhall would solve the mud problems and has great tram/train/bus links also there the huge aerodrome at norton thats next to the tram and buses

I was very much inclined to agree with you Amber Leaf but then I checked the 2021 census for Glastonbury (1 of the 4 of you could have done this but hey ho) & the population is 8297

 

I think the given attendance was 250,000 - that's an awful lot of people walking from nearby villages potentially so I'm going to be quite blunt, if I may be so bold, & say you don't know what you're talking about despite your business diploma & voluntary work

No where near big enough .

People don't care about all that.... especially the British

 

Just as long as there is beer and music they'll have a great time

 

You go get your Coco, watch The Ruth Rendell Mysteries on TV and have an early night 

 

You probably have an exciting day walking of around a garden centre tomorrow 

Hook, line and sinker. 😊

Do wonder what arrangement they have in regards to "putting right" the park afterwards, it would have ended up the same no matter what park it was held in this weekend tbh. 

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Tweet saying today has been cancelled. No rain now but 48 hours worth surely has taken a toll. 

I reckon it'll cost a fair few quid to make good, but inevitable given the rainfall.  The surrounding streets could do with a clean and tidy-up too.

It will be "put right" just might take a few weeks longer than usual.
