I would agree they seem to be hellbent on closing the IOM down for as long as possible now to pander to the covid crackpots. Makes you wonder though what the motorsport team will be doing with fuck all to organize for two years? Lots of cycling and going to the gym presumably. Great work if you can get it!

Don't think they would not try it, they already have office staff putting the one way cones in and out on the mountain. The bigger problem I see is that until there is a vaccine that has been taken by the majority of the population here they can not take the risk of filling the hospital with bikers and have no capacity for residents with Covid. That and unless the visitors have been vaccinated too they would not be able to get enough over to make it financially worthwhile, which I very much doubt it is in a normal year. Social distancing on the boat would massively effect numbers able to get here. Face it, it wont happen 2021 and what happens after is anyone's guess in the new normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say I would like the borders to stay closed for a while to come, but agree that I don’t know what the so called motorsports team are doing for their mega money. They claim to be planning for a bigger and better TT for 2021, Fock knows what that means though. I don’t even know what they do, full stop. Waste of a million per year. Do they count their achievements as killing the rallies , killing Jurby Day, and ruining just about everything apart from the effing TT ?

mad_manx Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I didnt know that the returning residents could travel back to the UK and beyond even during the " 14 day isolation period in the isle of Man " Wonder if they can come back again and just restart the 14 day period?

Yes they can come & go constantly as long as they stay in house & just go to ports & back . thats why Jersey & Guernsey policy of testing is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the fuckers must be semi professional by now! Is this the new tourism strategy of the Peoples’ Prince? If the borders were open by now, would the 8 ball pool tournament that was held last year at the Palace Hotel be returning? Bearing in mind the last proper professional tournament held on the island was held i the 1980s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
