"Since we announced an entry fee, we have been bombarded with so much hostility and criticism, much of it at a personal level, including accusations of profiteering and some of the committee have even received threats."

The 2011 event took place without management due to safety concerns over the number of people visiting the event, resulting in the 'Save the Cheese Roll' campaign.

No major injuries were reported
