Looks like it was fun, though I don't recall the event despite it being only 12 years back!

L.C.C. and the Park staff had to clean the mess up, took about three weeks to remove all the broken glass, and make it safe again.

A great day apparently, let down by less than brilliant organisation and a massive underestimation of how many people were going to turn up...2000 would have been about when Leeds was at it's peak as the clubbing capital of Britain too.Didn't Leeds city centre get gridlocked there were that many people trying to 'twixt there and Roundhay Park?

A lot of people had to spend the night in the Rail station, the transport was completely overwhelmed.Many of them had not given a thought of how they would be able to return home.
