Lady Ball

No, not a spam thread, nor the name of your new favourite band. But the foot to ball extravaganza of 2023. Anyone know if there are plans to broadgramme it on site?

Was wondering the same earlier. It kicks off at 11 and they'd need to be prepared for it to go on until 2 in case of extra time, so screening it on a stage Glastonbury-style isn't an option.

[wakestock]

Apparently they’ll be showing it in The Britannia so an earlier start there might be your best option.

Unsurprisingly it’s not being shown at the festival. They have confirmed as such. It will be on in Crickhowell I’m sure!

[rayrad]

yeah, they responded to someone on FB saying they had 'no plans' to show it

[nathan7]

Personally I have no real interest in it, other than the notion that if it were the mens final they would show it, which is I think what also excises my fellow female greenman attendee!

[rayrad]

do we think they'd definitely show it if it were the men's final?

they've never shown a sporting event there before - to my memory anyway

[blackcatista]

Yeah I'm not sure they would either.

If it was kicking off at like 8am I'd be up for encouraging them to screen it on the screens by the Mountain stage, but arranging that for a time that there's already lots going on would be really disruptive and I probably wouldn't even watch it myself. There may well be licensing issues as well?

I remember in 2008 there was some guy with a radio on the walkway by the Cwmdu School stall with a crowd around him listening to one of the big events in the Beijing Olympics. But think that was an enthusiastic punter and nothing official.

[mookid94]

Oops! I was wrong! It’s being screened in the cinedrome.

obvs changed their minds after england made the final

even though we're in... wales

[nathan7]

I think the pressure to show the men's final were England innit would be irresistible, so probs the right decision.
