Two points I would like to make here, while agreeing wholeheartedly with the optimists.
1. Opinions are fine, but are of more value when the person stating them actually attends the event (nothing personal)
2. While I am not an advocate of the ACU, every suggestion I have heard made to the organisers this TT has been listened to and ACTED ON. Mistakes have been made, but they have immediately been corrected and learned from. It is not only the ACU who are working to run this fantastic event, and it is a tribute to the enthusiasm and dedication of the many who are involved, that they are not allowing past differences to get in the way of making this TT and all future TTs the best they can be.
Give them a break, guys, and have some respect for people who are spending long, hard hours doing what you make a thankless job.
Colin... if you are not happy, tell the people concerned directly what you think would help, and offer to help, instead of spending your time undermining people and spreading tales.You didn't like it the way the MMCC did it, either... if you know so much better how it should be done, please share your great wisdom.
I have been impressed by the organisation this year, with the exception of some glitches, which have been addressed, and if you really care about the TT, get behind them and HELP.
I'm fed up with negativity... I'm thoroughly enjoying this TT, and it's pretty insulting to the riders and teams, to label it as boring. It's not... it's great!
If you want to help continue the improvement to the TT, get your a**e across, come as a rider, spectator, or best of all a marshal.. Book now for 2009!
