Speaking of vinyl I have boxes of the stuff in the loft I just couldn’t bring myself to get rid like most people did so on the back off that I’ve just dugout my old kenwood stack
The deck was fucked so bought a new decent deck and replaced the amp with one with Bluetooth and wifi built in.
Apologies for the shite off topic ramble

I remember buying the 1969 FA Cup final commentary on a LP which is probably still in the loft, unless the ex has threw it out!

? They won 2 in a row late 70s and 3 in a row in the 80s.

Football as you well know was not invented until 1992.
Lord Loius Edward's of Sausage and his son Martin did a Dragons Den style presentation to Sky tv and football as we now know it was born.

I am aware of Liverpools historic success, I was being ever so slightly glib. :-)

Anyway let's get back to Glasto. That is why we are here after all.

The BBC sends a significant number of staff and presenters to cover the Glastonbury Festival, though exact figures vary by year and source. In 2025, an estimated 400 BBC staff and freelancers are reported to be involved in covering the event, including specialist technical and camera crews, producers, and presenters, to deliver over 90 hours of live performances across TV, BBC iPlayer, radio, and BBC Sounds. This number is consistent with earlier years, such as 2014, when 300 staff were reported to have clear and accountable roles. Additionally, posts on X in 2025 suggest around 500 BBC workers may attend, though this figure is unverified and could include both staff and freelancers.

For 2025, the presenting team includes at least 25 named broadcasters across TV and radio, such as Clara Amfo, Lauren Laverne, Jo Whiley, Nick Grimshaw, Annie Macmanus, Zoe Ball, Huw Stephens, Jack Saunders, Jamz Supernova, and others. These presenters host live coverage, interviews, and highlights across platforms like BBC One, Two, Four, Radio 1, 1Xtra, Radio 2, and 6 Music, contributing to the extensive festival coverage.

Cheers

I used to play tennis and really loved it but I detest Wimbledon and its tweeness, from Dan Maskell always saying “oh this could be a serious injury” when a player fell over to the idiots shouting “come on Tim” or “come on Andy”, I hate it 100% and won’t watch a minute.

One of the highlights of the sporting year is the day it finishes.

Each to their own but I have visited Wimbledon every year since 1985 for at least a week and queued overnight for tickets. I've attended every grand slam and ATP/WTA100 in the world and Wimbledon is head and shoulders above all of them.

They wanted to be in the FA Cup but were trying to bully the FA into placing them in the latter rounds & they called their bluff.

Yes I remember all this bollocks. So the so called biggest club in the world !!??!?! Couldn't put a youth team in the FA Cup 3rd round. Pretty pathetic for a supposedly big club, who's manager was running the premier league as a dictator.
