There are far to many horror stories of what 2007 is going to be like.....

Don't forget, in the past, the Isle of Man used to accomodate three and four times the number visitors it gets now with no problems. They just haven't got the hotels to do it now.

1.There won't be a "massive" influx of extra people for the Centenary.

The Steam Racket won't be able to run many more ferries than they did for TT 2006. The only increases will be early arrivals (but most of them will leave early to)

2. There won't be a major parking problems, no worse than the last few years anyway.

For the same reason as number one...How will they get there ?

3. The IOMSP(and Hamish Ross) were not responsible for the cancellation of the 'floating hotel'

The Norwegian owners of the proposed "flotel" pulled the plug after the Steam Packet had invested a lot of time and money, taking bookings etc. The ship is now going to cruise the Norwegian coast and fjords instead.

At least the much maligned IOMSP 'tried' to do something to help alleviate the shortage of beds on the Island.
