I think Wetherby has a Millenium stand too. Wouldn't be surprised if there were a few around.

Well I was at Carlisle racetrack when they opened their new stand in 2000 and it was called the Millenium stand. Like Banks says there is probably more than one.

Catchy name!
Report Slippy Blue • October 7, 2011 9:57 PM BST
Yep just checked, it was renamed ! They were not expecting the huge numbers that turned up, we ended up sitting on the floor as there were no seats for anyone. I had a right go at the mangement as there were OAP's with no seats or tables let alone us lot. No wonder they renamed it, it was a total shambolic effort by the management. Some bird with a walkie talkie was flapping about trying to get tables from the restaurant which was empty. I gave them all a right bollocking I have to say.
