I will tell you when beepee, it was when the event was turned into a money making exercise to recuperate some of the costs that us manx tax payers have to stump up. Quite frankly I think that the post by PP is a crock as everyone knows the real reason they have to pay for the hire of the area is that it is used a part of the so called hospitality site, another money making idea for the teams. But then again its the humble supporters/spectators of the TT hat have to stump up the costs. Why not increase the cost for the teams and then agree that the cost for the spectators are reduced. I don't care if I have to pay through my taxes for the TT but don't for one minute try to make me believe that its because its not a money making idea that people are being charged so much.

Also why pay for parking and get nailed another load for the grandstand. Why not include parking in the £5 for the grandstand? If you have a ticket you can park. There was no-one again in the grandstand tonight apart from the competitors area. They have got to review this or they will get nothing back at all.
