People drunk at a music festival? Joke & disgrace.

What a complete load of crap,she must have nothing else to moan about at the moment

I was there and I had a good few drinks,it was a great night

By the sounds of it shes asked us to stop serving beer to those who have had enough and we've told her to jog on. Surely there must have been police on site during the concert? Were there any arrests made for drunk and disorderly behaviour? If PC Dawson was ignored then why didnt she shut down the bar using the onsite police officers if the club ignored her requests?

I wasn't there, so I can't say one way or the other.

However I have noticed the lack of experience of many bar staff at Odsal and almost every other RL ground (and other sports to be fair). This often leads to things like serving people who should be refused (for various reasons).

I can't image the people manning the bars at the concert will have been experienced bar staff, as they certainly aren't on game days, so this sort of thing is always likely to happen. Not sure why such a big fuss has been made about this specific occasion though, as it surely happens all the time.

The one thing I do know for sure is that people who are clearly underage get served at Odsal. I've seen people who I wasn't convinced were even 16 get served, never mind the whole "if you look under 25" thing. Again, not limited to Odsal, the same happens at loads of sporting grounds.

If this leads to something getting stricter at sporting grounds, I'm all for it, as I'm sick of underage idiots acting up at grounds because they've had a couple of pints and can't handle it. But if it's something that only gets pinpointed at Odsal, you can't help but feel they're missing the bigger picture and it's a bit unfair. It's like locking away one in a gang of bank robbers, then letting the others go scott free.

I find it a bit odd that the first time the world learns that our concert was, in fact, "chaos", is in August. Nobody who actually attended the event, or reported on it, seems to have noticed the "chaos".

Chaos is "complete disorder or confusion" so I would suggest that PC Dawson may be exaggerating the situation by using emotive langauge.

However, the club would do well to note any recommendations and make the necessary improvements to procedure if they hope to put a similar event on again.

the only chaos was the length of time it took to get a drink.

Hard to believe any managed to get drunk if they spent all day queuing!

It took us an hour and half to get served when we got in, missed first 2 acts

Thereby proving the maxim, "It's an ill wind .... "

We had I great night at the concert and saw no trouble at all. Sure there weren't enough bars, but that is not what the report is about.

Maybe one of the board ran over her dog....

There was no problems at all at the concert except people couldn't get served quick enough, everybody had a great time as I saw it strange this coming out now as above says?

Wow, slow news day is it? Why wasn't this reported at the time?
