Anyone else seen this, copied from iomtt.com

Hi, my name is Joel ive just signed up to let u guys know that Glen Moar garage/Black Dub has now been classed as a prohibbited area. This means no spectators, marshalls or even I can stand on this site. We are the owners of this site and would have loved to have welcomed back all the people who have stood here for many years. We have not decided to make this a prohibited area for any other reason than the attitude and unhelpfullness of the ACU. We were asked two months ago to get our own insurance beacuse they were no longer goin to insure any spectators to stand on our site. As u can imagine getting an insurance company to insure 1000+ people over the two weeks against being hit by a bike doing 140+is not easy. We therefore asked for the help of the ACU in getting insurance sorted and asked them to talk to our insrance broker. We were told they could not do this as it wasn't their job/problem. Our insurance broker tried to ring ACU headquaters in England and was told 'nothing to do with us, speak to the Isle of Man people', which they duly tried to do but were told again 'can't speak to you as we are the race organiser'. We have done our upmost to help in the past but have met with such rudeness and unhelpfullness we have walked away and will be completely closing the site for the two weeks. Im very sorry for all the people who have stood here in the past but we can't find a way around this problem.

Hope it's OK to post this.
