TT2009 - Your Comments - Malcolm - 13-06-2009
OK, so it has now been and gone.
What were your impressions of TT2009 ?
Did you enjoy the racing more than in the previous years ?
Television coverage was much more extensive, however had a few glitches, what is your opinion on the North One / ITV production/presentation.
There was no entertainment on the prom, is it needed or not ?
What sort of entertainment should the Government provide "free of charge" for the public (Manxies and Visitors alike) ?
Should the Government or an entrepeneur be in charge of providing additional to the racing entertainment for the public ?
Bushy's was quiet, why do you think so ? Should it remain, should mini-type Bushy's be located around the Island, should Bushy's provide their own "free" entertainment adjacent to their massive tent on the prom ?
Should campsites apply for "entertainment" licences in order that they can provide food and drink for those who are camping ?
What is your opinion on Energy FM taking on the TT radio coverage in a free bidding basis ?
Plus whatever you think could improve the TT Festival either by addition, modification or deletion ?

but good mad 
If it wasn't for madmen willing to take on the course it would never happen so I'm glad they exist, to be honest they are a heck of a lot braver than I am 
So I can only comment on what I've seen on the box as only time I've been on the island was when taking a break from chasing fishermen round the Irish sea and it was never during the TT
So yep I enjoyed the coverage, was loads better than in previous years, actually saw more of the bikes on the road but would probably have appreciated a bit more coverage for the electric bikes. Was good to have presenters who sounded like they knew what they were doing and didn't appear to be a necessary annoyance to the riders, got the impression some of the riders were happy to chat
