I still think that most are still missing the point, the TT and the island has a very limited capacity in spectator numbers. Until they address the problems of expensive travel and accommodation and or the lack of it then the TT will always struggle to maintain increased arrivals at the ports.
the choice of hotels and self catering is in decline every year for one reason only, they cant survive as a business operating full for only two weeks of the year.
Who it their right mind would invest in a tourist venture here as the situation stands, when the Government gives out with one hand and takes a lot more back with the other. The island has to focus on the rest of the year, more support has to be given to the MGP and S100 that's the weeks when capacity outstrips supply. By promoting these events more, might attract more visitors, but as I said earlier UK visitors expect a lot more these days and the Island lacks this in quite a few departments. I also have to agree with Don I too think there is some hidden agenda with the MGP.

Just say the new decision to change the TV company this year, doubles the revenue from previous years, what percentage will go to the TT, sorry will all revenue made from TV broadcasting of the TT be put back into the TT the following year.

Would any laws be broken if a team of fans were to get together and take videos of the races from vantage points that were accessible to broadband and load them on youtube every lap, its very possible to do.
