Apparently the turnout this year was very poor (30,000ish), which was
possibly due to Leicester carribean carnival being on the same day.

If I was a sponsor of the carnival (which I am not) I would be very
upset at the event, all the 'floats' were just lorries with sound
systems on, I certainly wouldn't want to invest money in it.
