The Island's niche is the TT circuit. What else could the island host which would be cheaper and at least as good as anything hosted elsewhere? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many tolerate TT as it's the only time of year when the island has events like Bushys and the 1886 stage. The Manx flag is stained with the blood of everyone who has been killed on the TT Course.

There's no way we'd have the footfall for those events without the TT. Tens of thousands aren't going to pay steam packet prices to come to the Island for a couple of gigs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
