I can't find a thread on the F Y P do we have one                                                                                                                                                                             

 we do now mr bill  we will be there as usual                                                                                                                                                                              

They doing limited Thursday tickets as well gates open 3pm cost £5.00 ontop of your £30.00 plus booking fee online.                                                                                                                                                                              

But you can't go in the fire field on the Thursday                                                                                                                                                                             

But you can't go in the fire field on the Thursday                                                                                                                                                                             

Sorry Bill but i dont understand what the issue is. If you want to get a good spot on fire field, go early on Friday. If you want to go on Thursday then accept whats on offer. Simples really.

I think its great that MAG have given the option to arrive on Thursday, considering that they are usually on site for a week + prior to the event getting it ready for everyone to party hard and then about a week getting everything cleaned up afterwards.

Opening to public on Thursday adds a different dimension to the logistics for them .i.e. marshalling gates, security, making sure food n drink etc is in place and another day to toilet clean!

I think they deserve a round of applause for even considering opening a day earlier, let alone doing it.

Why do people always expect more, than what is really feasible?

I think what Bill means is that those who go on the Thursday have to camp in the non-fire field.
This will mean a split BM camp, as many will choose the fire field.

This is really not a big deal, as all can still enjoy the late night banter around the fire.

What I do find strange tho, is the number of peeps who put their names down, but keeps themselves to themselves. Why bother say you're coming if you don't want to join in?                                                                                                                                                                             

@xk, i know some people prefer to camp away from the fires, orhers camp with old friends (as they have done so for many years), some prefer to be alone.

The main thing is that most peeps show their faces for a chinwag at some stage over the weekend to catch up with BM members.

Im looking forward to this year, as i do every year. Will catch up at some stage with everyone i am sure!

There is no issue it's just to let people know that they can't get into the field most of us use the Thursday                                                                                                                                                                             

It's a few years since I did the farmyard. It used to be awesome.
