The more I read of this thread, the press, and the Coroner's report, the more I am reminded of the recent tv programme about Wibsey Working Men's Club. This was very obviously going to Hell in a bucket, with most of the commitee having no idea about business, refusing to accept the changes in drinking habits and prices, on the one hand recognising that new younger members needed to be attracted to swell the takings yet not wanting the disturbance and change that this would bring to their little empire.........
That programme was a trage-comedy for most viewers, and at the end of the day, unlike the TT and Manx races it mattered little whether it survived, prospered or folded.
The TT as a whole seems to have been run by one of several similar lots of 'good old boys', all funny-handshaking and back-slapping, but very good at running for cover when any serious matters arose. As it involves one of our most revered sporting occassions, it deserves far better. As it involves the lives of brave young men and women, it must get far better, or be dismantled, disbanded and consigned to history.
