Love Parade 2002

sayin that though i dont think 12mths ago the council would have considered a 6am licence but now theyre gradually realisin its more than 'a night out' to lots of people. i know though that the bad press the event was recieving months in advance from the local press got a load of city residents against the idea and from then it was a struggle.
also radio 1 offered at xmas 2000 their help from people used to organisin r1 events, but the council refused and gave the job to people used to organising flower & craft shows who had no experience or grasp of how big the job actually was.

was it ever going to work???
me thinks not
