From their own site
here as posted by one of their own committee members:
".....can we just make it clear here that the police, council or hse do not organise the cheese roll, nor have they stopped it. We the committee organise the event and now that we have the support and help of the council and police, we WILL continue to do so.
The sad reality is that todays event is a far distant relative of the event I knew as a child. We cannot go back to that, but equally we realise that 15,000+ was eventually going to kill the event for good. We therefore had to act with the consent of the Authorties to save the long term future of the Cheese Roll."
Calm down & carry on as before.
