Discussion: Make BT over-21

This was my first boomtown, after so many years pining over going. My career always took precedence and this year I buckled up and bought a ticket.

Having never been, before or after COVID, it was a genuine spectacle to see such amazing production over such an immense site.

However, some of the scenes I saw from the younger generations this weekend just staggered me. Am I getting old, or are we getting dumber as a population?

Seems there was a lot of large groups of lads tearing around, causing problems, being aggressive, shoulder barging through crowds, getting absolutely off their nut and giving it a really weird, sinister undertone to what was otherwise an amazing experience.

Is making BT over-21s a solution, or does it punish the good people who weren’t causing an issue?
