2112 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Nope. Your going to have to eat your words on the Salisbury st thread shortly as well. Talking of Salisbury Street Nursing Home it's amazing how important it was to buy and how desperate the island was for bed space. Why is it still empty? You would have thought DSC would have moved heaven and earth to equip and get in residents etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just signed someone up in five minutes people like you would be moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the Vision On fiasco we can't operate expressions of interest or tenders or even pass the brown paper envelope properly. This is bound to end in tears. Taxpayers tears not that some on here will care, and I'm sure the lessons learned will be commercially confidential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Power Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Getting back to the TT, this article gives an indication of what a 3 day MotoGP event means to the economies of some of the hosting areas and the investment given to the events by local government. It puts into perspective the need for a sustainable solution to be found for the promotion of our own event. https://motomatters.com/comment/reply/12316#comment-form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 It'll be interesting to see the economic impact when Rossi retires. He is Moto gp commercially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebean Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The importance to the tourism industry of the TT is huge and plays a major part in many businesses sustainability. With all the undoubted glee and daft petitions surrounding the failure of this deal, it should be remembered that the TT will now fall into a period of investment stagnation, the ability to secure increased commercial revenues will be damaged and much of the crumbling infrastructure essential to the event will remain in need of injections of cash that the taxpayer can not afford. Meanwhile a committee of enquiry will sit and split their deliberations into 3 phases which will, no doubt, take an age to complete before reaching the same conclusions that were reached before this search for a new promoter started. The whole episode represents a massive failure of Government to deliver and places an important event in danger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Tatlock Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The TT practically sells itself. With the £ down the pan for the forseeable, it doesn't take much effort for people to get out there marketing it, as well as the MGP. There are numerous ambassadors willing to do that, often for free. It's lasted over 100 years. Numbers have been on the up and it's shown on ITV4. It's only when people try to get outsiders in that the shit hits the fan. Just do your fucking job DED. Or employ someone that can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't market something that the taxpayer can't afford to produce. This is not about marketing a product; its about producing something of quality in the first place. I think you will find that DED has been growing the TT successfully for years but perhaps the time has come when the resources they have are no longer enough.

notwell Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't think the TT itself really needs to grow much more. I'd say it can grow organically at a small percentage each year given the extra mediums of coverage reaching plenty of people. As long as resourcing grows with it (accommodation etc). The real potential is in the latter Festival. This could easily triple in size with a bit of effort. Again, I'm not sure we need an external partner/agency to achieve this. I'd agree with Albert - there isn't a reason why the right people working within DED couldn't do this. It's potentially a great challenge and job too.
