I also think that nowadays (compared to yonks ago), a lot more people have their own transport and so can go to a lot more places. In the past photographs of places like Governors back up to Kates were full of spectators, but now I reckon that people are more spread out around the course. There ARE a lot of resticted places now, but TT spectators can be very resourceful and find places where you wouldn't have thought it was possible to watch from. I always thought that Ballacrye was very limited, but when I went there I was surprised by the number of speccys.
