What was the best Glade year of all? (re-vote)

[Dave Skywalker]

Difficult one this, it's pretty much a tie between 2005 and 2006. In 2005 it was brand new for me, never experienced anything like it, plus the mushies were legal and the weather was ace.

In 2006 weather was amazing too, had more people with us which was wicked, plus it was the "Bang Face" Glade which was unbelievably wicked, BUT seeing people being abused by the security (who were being arseholes) and the knowledge of an increase in thefts etc put an edge on things.

There wasn't an "increase in thefts", actually. That's just one of those myths that got circulated. Police figures submitted to the 2007 hearing showed thefts were down in 2006 from the year before.

Seconded, 2005 was my first festie too which made it even more special. In 2006 we had more friends with us which was ace and converted most of them into Glade 'lovers'
Last year was completely different for the obvious reason and also I was on a restricted diet as I was signed up on a drug trial, so I think of it as a unique experience.
This year is going to be the best, I can feel it, I've already got my wings and hair sorted, just a few more weeks to go

Bumping this old poll from last year, with 2008 added. Unfortunately the act of adding 2008 has wiped the poll, so you all get to vote again.

[shakyjane]

hmmmm, i dont know - is this poll about if it was the best glade for quality or my personal experiences?

I loved this year the best - but not because of lineup/sound

[Obel]

Goldilocks sounds like some kind of fucking dyke.

2008 for me. It's a bit of a shit vote though because I only went this year and last. But for me it was personal experience, last year had the better music (except ae), it was the people and the good times that made this one. The people know who they are.


2008

Whatever you want it to be.

[shakyjane]

well i've put 2008 - for me it was the people, and having only 1 down point, but that down point wasnt that bad at all

[soundclash]

Dont know if i can put a vote on any of these due to the fact that every year has a element in it that beats the last BUT also something that fails it lol. Always the optimist
Thats what keeps me coming back, the fear of missing the perfect festival lol. Heres my pros and cons....

2004 Just amazing, couldve been warmer lol
2005 More people, better weather, lots of theft (year of the pikeys)
2006 Kevin Saunderson!!, Too Hot and bad Security
2007 The spirit,the laughs, the mud
2008 The Music, people, vibe and acts, the s**t sound when it mattered

so erm 2004 or 2008 i reckon.....but ....arghhh cant do it!!!

[xkejjer]

every glade i go to seems to be better in the sense that i keep having even more fun than the previous glade.. this was my third after 2005 and 2006, which were blindingly fantastic, but this seemed to be even more blindly fantastic.. great vibe, great everything, to top it all we had a group of great english people camping next to us which made the experience even nicer

i hope glade 2009 will be done
