Sounds pretty nasty to me! having been in the vicinity of an exploding small propane cylinder a few years back it's amazing no one was seriously hurt or killed! A piece of metal from the cylinder was found embedded in the brickwork about 10 foot from where i was and i was about 30 feet away!
You can say what you like about V but i've been going there since 1998 and the only problem i ever had was where some scouser nicked some beer off us through my own stupidity...... no riots, tents damaged or anything. The security has usually been OK too. I would never go to Leeds again after the trouble in 2002. It wouldn't suprise me if they lost their licence this time
and then the decent fans like yourself wil have lost out to the arseholes once again.
