A fool and his money..... Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 4 minutes ago, Max Power said: You keep mentioning this but offer nothing to support it? As it turns out Nathan performed very well in the Senior, bear in mind that this is only his second TT too. I don't understand what the benefit would be of funding a local rider's ride, it won't bring more people to the island and is only of interest to a few locals. As I have said, I think you're assuming a lot from a bit of pub talk. I don't think he's assuming a lot from pub talk at all. He's perfectly obviously made the whole thing up which is why he's never produced any a single shred of evidence to support it. In fact now he's taking his fantastical claims even further and claiming we paid for Dan's TAS Suzuki ride - again no evidence, no corroboration - just bullshit. It just shows the integrity of the rest of his argument, all made up to make it sound better. He's probably moved here and bought a house on the course out of season without doing any research - but now is outraged by the death (although still outraged this year) and by the government paying for locals to have factory rides ( despite the FOI act and complete lack of evidence). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember that, the Tuesday and Thursday were always contingency days or at least have been for a long time haven’t they? Yes for many years. I think Roger is more referring to mad Sunday and the Saturday after the Senior Race day holiday. I can quite see this additional disruption is significant if you live on or inside the course.

I met a fella who swore to me the world was flat once, with similar evidence to back it up. I didn't believe him either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that would really impact businesses as he stated though and there has been the possibility of a senior on the Saturday for years.

I can’t remember that, the Tuesday and Thursday were always contingency days or at least have been for a long time haven’t they? Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday were always contingency days. Plus daily 5am starts for practices during practice week. Things have changed. I think it’s better. I suspect part of the impetus was to extend the number of days that people could come and stay for a few days given the decreased number of boats and hotel beds. It is interesting that we’ve now got planning for 3 new hotels within a few hundred yards of each other, and of the sea terminal.

I think generally the impact of the TT on businesses is very positive. There will be some that suffer maybe. Marown TV maybe? I'm sure I remember them abandoning the senior one wet Friday because they couldn't run it on the Saturday a few years ago - that may have been different in recent years though. I agree with you generally, but there's no doubt the new schedule is a bit more disruptive for people living on the course though. Other than that it's worked very well so far.

In fact its better now as they are much more likely to delay the actual road closure than they used to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
