Pros and cons

The biggest pro for me was always that I could walk to it!!

It's convenient to get to as there are 4 airports within 90 mins of Reading.
I've never camped there but have heard it's OK. The site itself is about 20 mins walk from the town centre so not too bad if you are staying in a hotel. 
Doesn't tend to be too crowded on the site so plenty of room to move around and see the bands etc.
Biggest "con" for me is that the sounds seems to be turned down low, particularly on the main stage. Saw Kasabian there a couple of years back and wasn't too far back from the main stage but was still able to talk to people etc when normally you wouldn't be. 
Fairly young crowd at the festival also compared to the likes of Glastonbury.

Pros and cons
The lineup bar Rage... Used to be a rock festival.   Don't know most of the bands on the main stage nowadays... Some difference between the lineup now and ten 15 years ago

Idles followed by RATM is a deadly day out. The rest of the festival I could give a miss

Thinking about it myself and, like that, the rest I wouldn’t be hugely interested in.

Excellent.
Attitude 
Tunes
Go see them

The support act Junior Brother didn't do it for me even with my love of Bonnie Prince Billy / Bob Dylan singing 🎼

Picked up tickets for their gig in Vicar St on Feb 27th last week, can't freakin wait Clap

f**kin outstanding gig last night, atmosphere was electric and performance intense at times, especially On Twisted Ground, f**k me the silence from the crowd was surreal.

The support band Egyptian Blue were very good too.
