It's all sounding very promising but (cloud of doom forms overhead) even if the DTL are kept out of the frame there is every chance that such a venture will be undermined by "authority" figures, for one reason only. The proposed location is not in Douglas!

The Peel Bay Festival was a tremendous idea, that had a brilliant first year, and great potential, but was killed off for no other reason than the location was not Douglas.

Ramsey Pier, despite massive public outcry, is not being restored (and is slowly and illegally being dismantled) because it is not in Douglas.

I could go on.........and a few here can vouch for that. However, despite this inevitable opposition, I'm 100% behind most of the ideas proposed. In fact Bill Snelling and Larry should get cracking on it straight away.
