Well have to say they have droped a clanger this time, complaints are many from the early visiting fans that they cant get to their favorite places.
From Ballacrain to Kirk Michael ther is only two maybe three unrestricted areas, Glen Helen Pub Carpark, Middle of the Cronk and cant remeber the other place I spoted tonight.

I can understand the restrictions but they seem to be well overboard.
The spectators, like you say will complain and next year they'll probably stay at home and watch it on the tele.

Have you noticed that the pub areas have no restrictions, Railway Union Mills for example, what happened there last year.

I don't want to get too downhearted until I've seen some of the changes for myself but I do hope that these restrictions are not too draconian. That said some that I've noted where at spots where I wouldn't have felt safe to spectate from anyway. Here's hoping.

I see what you mean FC. That's not what I was expecting. I think a full recce of the course is called for when I get over on Thursday.
