TheTeapot Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 No mention of them vindictively destroying the drone and memory card this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambon Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 If the weather had been better than it has been this year, and no cancelled boats/ planes, very few would be complaining. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyDave Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Our first time visitors loved it, and are already talking about coming back next year. They came last Wednesday until this morning and saw loads of racing,Jurby day and had an absolute blast. I don’t really understand all the moaning. There was loads of action crammed into a few days despite the weather, and had they needed to they could have run today. Maybe if some of the “don’t like change” brigade stop coming it will be good for the event and get some younger people over who might spend more. There are plenty who tried to come and couldn’t get travel or accommodation. People do love a moan!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADELE Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 My two friends from NI have loved it booked for TT and are definitely coming back for MGP next year. So opinions vary and you cannot please everyone. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. it really is dumb cunt central sometimes Maybe so: but how would you suggest deterring would-be drone pilots in future (bearing in mind that the drones are a safety risk - to helicopters when in the air; and potentially to bikes/riders if one were to crash on the course during a race)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough classics make it to the end to make it an interesting and worthwhile event. Even Dunlop with all his support only finished one race. The format is flawed unless the field is much bigger which isn’t feasible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not enough? Or the wrong kind? Or they didn’t see it? Edited August 29, 2023 by Jarndyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Helmut Fromage Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 People who own drones are generally socially inept and have many computer screens, very greasy hair spend much time in a darkened back room with Marvel posters and shite T shirts and an oversized fleece - my work takes me to some places I wish to never to return to - Drone people are usually low quality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
