STATEMENT FROM THE BAND REGARDING DONCASTER

[Chloe]

Even during The Cribs set a group of lads behind me and my friend thought it was ok to push each other into us, stroke our hair, ask if we'd give them blow jobs and indulge in other idiotic behavior. We had to leave early to catch a train, and I was quite glad to get out of there because I felt quite uncomfortable.

Oh my god seriously? What absolute fucking disgusting chauvinist berks. That's actually made me so so angry...

[lmbiggie]

yeah some properly slimey guys there, disgusting

[...gwen]

i basically agree with what everyone else has said.
i thought it was absolutely appauling and it definately put a dampner on the night for me.
the way that as soon as they walked out people started booing even before they played a note really upset me. i know people get judged on what they look like but, this might be me being naive or whatever but i never knew it really happened to that degree. and the fact that we got dirty looks and general abuse for enjoying it as well

its just annoying that a few people are going to leave a lot of us, and the bands, with negative memories of what should have been an amazing gig and they probably thought nothing of it. i feel embarassed to be associated with the the people who were doing it.

Oh god I forgot about that one who was trying to grab my boobs. Tosser.

[lmbiggie]

oh no that was me liz...

"It's alright, I'm just 'protecting you from the crowd'"

[mikey]

i liked how gareth from los camp stood up for katie in sky larkin in edinburgh when some tosser was shouting shit....anyway i fucking love sky larkin!

[lmbiggie]

did he really say that liz? I turned around and saw him lurched over you so when you got away i stood infront of him to try and block his mischeivous hands. But there was a group of like 10 who tried to start a silly little mosh pit thinking they were hard. I just walked through it, tosspots.

whilst i was sittin down,i thought i was at reading festival..

out of all the gigs i have been to, not one had supports where they were booed..
im so glad i wasn't in that crowd.. and was save on me own.. it did ruin me evening.. and i was tryin to get into the slits, but all i heard was booin and 'yorkshire' . the crowd put me off tho, my eyes seem to be attracted to the men in middle sticking two fingers up at them and all the beer i could see flyin. the singer came back on and pulled her trouses down and did a moony..crowed still shouted abuse.. it deff wasnt for the music, i thought gary was gonna come on and tell crowd where to stick it,
i only saw last 3 sky larkin songs, can't remem much of them,

i felt sory for los camp,crowd were idiots for them too,
if i din't get anxious and nearly had panic attack i would of watched all of their set, hope im ok for their feb gig..

sorry marrdrew for not tellin you where i got to, i should of gone back to tell you where i was goin, din't realise you couldn't get signal..
im still glad i went,even tho i had to mix my medication.( not together of course).

last of all the cribs were ace, crowd did'nt seem to go crazy to songs on new album or for direction, only for men's needs and another number, which don't surprise me.

hope that al made sence, can't remem much of gig now, wish i was stood near front for this gig tho..but i was so relaxed sittin down

If the cribs ever play again in doncaster they should take the stage in bra and panties, that would show the sexists.
