Over the last few years it has been interesting to latch onto groups of "TT Virgins" who are making their first ever visit over....

Without trying to bore them with stories of nostalgic source ("EEE, it were like this in the olden days") I have found it important to hear for what they had saved their money and made the trip to the Isle of Man and how they interpreted the whole TT festival period.

Nostalgia in many subjects, not only the TT, seems to mean a lot less than it did a few years ago and I feel, as a regular attender, that I (we) must not fall into a trap of talking about good old days when we are trying to maintain an interest in a road race series on the Isle of Man which is trying to develope a new feeling.

We'll never bring back those magic days when the TT was a GP, or when most of us made the trip just to breath the same air as Joey Dunlop.....

Who can really describe the wonders of early morning practice to todays fans who drink to all hours and sleep in until lunchtime ??

Without waffling on any more, I hope those of you who are TTWEBSITE won't drench everyone with "This is how it was" but "This is how it is and evermore shall be"

I hope you in admin take my point and examine what is to be..

A proper balance rather than you concentrating on the oldies, making it seem that people who are attending in this decade are getting second best to what we saw in our day. Fans are coming to see todays TT concept not going through a time warp.


Well ??????
