Lots of people have put cash into the sport. They're not always right about everything however. And the beauty of free speech and internet forums is that everyones opinions are equally valid.

What annoys me about Colin's posts (and sorry - I have no idea who Colin is), is the constant negativity, without a constructive alternative.

I'll tell you what will end the TT - refusing to learn from previous mistakes. So FC if you feel the prohibited areas are too draconian, or the fields are too small, then give me a defensible alternative and we'll have a constructive debate.

What I'm worried about is the new TT fans coming onto sites like this, and the "other" TT forum, and seeing nothing but doom and gloom. Perhaps they'll think "oh, I'll not bother going then"... and miss out on some of the best experiences motorcycle racing has to offer.

In the words of the great Murray Walker - "the Isle of Man TT is the single most important motorsport event anywhere in the world".

I'd be happy to put my money where my mouth is that the TT will still exist in 10 years. Let's say £50 to the Helicopter fund. If the TT isn't around - I'll donate it to another worthy cause... But think on FC (and all). Once it's gone - it's gone for good. Is that what you want?
