Seriously though, the resistance to change is that popularity generally changes an event. L2B used to be a nice ride down to Brighton, now you have to set off insanely early to avoid the morons walking 7-a-breast up the slightest incline. Some may like what the event becomes, but plenty of people don't, so they don't want it to get really popular.
You say "leave the DD alone" but the DD won't be the DD with 10 times as many people, give it 10 years and that's what it could be.
