Way too regulated now... And full of non locals since the press picked up on it.
There used to be no barriers, pretty much the whole town turned out for it, and you'd end up being dragged into the homes of people you didn't even know to first foot (apparently there's a benefit to being a tall dark stranger.)
Tended to be a 6pm ish start on 31st, down to the harbour for the fireballs before midnight then first footing til you eventually got home about 6am... Just in time for breakfast.
Oh how things have changed... Now on the other side of the atlantic and never even watched the tv...
