RC-Drift.com Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 According to Government figures 25,000 residents of the Isle of Man watch the TT races. That's leave their home or workplace and go and watch the bikes from somewhere on the course. Per race day. Not a total of the whole week. But on each race day Seems an unbelievable figure to me http://www.iomtt.com/forums/thread/62979.aspx Seems bollocks to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stookie Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 I didn't mention reciprocal agreements anywhere. I expect an American, German or any fan, who are holiday makers get free hospital treatment. I'm not disagreeing or agreeing with it. I was answering points made in two posts - sorry if it looked like I referred to something you said on this:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it all just guestimates? If so is this how other Government figures are determined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just an old lady at a desk who comes up with figures like 25,000? Is there anyone out there who feels their intelligence is insulted when they pluck figures out of the air like this? Personally I don't care less about the TT but when I was told 25,000 people watch the racing - who are they trying to fool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
