Does this mean that the TT will have a digital scoreboard with with scouts running around on it putting times up in a totally pointless exercise? I do hope not. This is when heritage turns into stupid. As with everything it’s a PR exercise, lip service. Keep everyone happy otherwise twitter meltdowns and IOMNP uproars. No sense of priorities, proportionality or common sense. Do the Scouts get a medal or a badge from the ACU to sew on their uniforms? Times have changed the IOM hasn’t, Scouts shouldn’t be used as Ashies and Callisters free labour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cissolt Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) Anyone know the costs of the new TT live service? Paul Philips said it cost a lot.....200 strong production team from greenlight plus a the app development and Vimeo hosting. Sounds like a 10 million+ operation. https://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/waking-a-sleeping-giant-as-the-tt-goes-digital Let's say they can do it for 5 million. 333,333 signups required at £14.99 to break even. Not including what's already been spent Edited March 4, 2022 by cissolt Adding poor maths 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher or lower than a million quid? Well over a million. And I can bet you another million, that the scoreboard will be somehow not weather proof and after one year left in situ, it'll be knackered. See those stupid walk/cycle monitors they had on the prom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomTucker Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 They have done a good job getting the press to jump up and down about it being live as if its the first ever live sports event. NW200 was streamed live on BBC website 15 years ago and was available on red button for just as long. Its nothing new at at all, its low hanging fruit in this day and age.

littlebushy Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 1 hour ago, Youaintseenme said: 30 years. The only way they could achieve that is to buy 5 and keep them in storage for when one breaks because you won’t be ordering spares in 20 years. It's simple...like the NSC flumes. It will take 29 years for the scoreboard to be erected, work for 1 year while a few people get injured, then take it out of service. 30 years. Job done. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hopefully was used again also a fair wind, does not add to a positive result. Another expensive toy😏 however it is drawing attention away from the low number of home stay accommodation, unhappy Marshalls and the need to get the course in good order. The only bright light on the horizon is that f…..g fair is not coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paswt Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Meanwhile the EGM of 'Isle of Man TTMA ltd ' has been adjourned and no date set however the new "TTMA ltd" have already "acquired" the details of marshals from the' Isle of Man TTMA ltd' and sent an email to all the marshals today giving them until 11/3/22 to ask them to delete said details . It may be interesting to see how this is viewed by marshals who previously had a right to be a "member" of a TTMA and now had that right removed as there are only 2 members permitted and if they choose to marshal have to abide by the ACU's 'code of practice requiring them to adopt /endorse / applaud the opinions of the ACU/Paul Phillips . Failure to do so will result in being sacked without being told the reason and with no right of appeal ( according to the M & A's ).

x-in-man Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 £2 to get into the TT village in the villa this year. Flip that right off. I’ll be buying from Tesco this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? It’s £2. So you’ll forego all entertainment provided for the price of a cup of tea so you can buy from tesco and sit at home alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
