Surprised it wasn't banned on the grounds that it might offend some minority or other.

Its getting bigger every year, not sure there was as many this year as last year(25,000) as the weather wasn't the best but it was still an ace day out. Not sure they could just ban it, far too many locals would be p*ssed off if it was.

Even the old bill are very few, private security firms looked after it all. My lads really enjoyed it.
