Buy now, pay later deal is scrapped for fans of MGP - Malcolm - 02-12-2009 Now here is a piece of news that is sure to get up the noses of those that support the Manx. MANX Grand Prix enthusiasts are angry after changes to the Steam Packet's fares policy.

I just paid £636 for a return crossing for a small van and caravan - which I understand is non refundable if I don't get an entry. They really don't care, do they? You won't be seeing me again after next year. RE: Buy now, pay later deal is scrapped for fans of MGP - smokey125 - 04-12-2009 I’m doing it the other way round. Entries were cheaper than the ferry. Not going to book the ferry until after my entry is accepted. If entries go up so much that they are more than the ferry I doubt I would be entering anyway.
