You mean this one? :-

FROM: MATTHEW SAYLE, Ballaugh.

I READ the views of Tim Reynolds and thought I had to reply as a TT Rider, MGP marshal and Manxman.
The Isle of Man needs the TT.
I think that over the last 20 years we have given up on tourism in the Island and it is my belief that we have very little to offer tourists.
Mr Reynolds remarks, quote, 'the Manx sanction this event'. Yes we do and have done for 100 years. You people who don't want the TT are a minority.
In the paper a few months ago there were reports of £50 million revenue brought in by the TT.
Now where are the government going to re-coup this £50 million from if we get rid of the TT. In two weeks this is a fantastic amount.
If you had an Island-wide vote everyone would say yes it's dangerous but a vote of approval would win outright.
The people who don't want the TT are a minority and need to look at the bigger picture. I would not be able to afford my taxes going up if the government needed to recoup money lost with no TT.
How about the rest of you?
