Do you honestly think that the business of Greenlight/Duke is that thin that they will moving off Island because of the loss of the TV contract

No not thin but a great saving on costs to their main core of work, cheaper energy costs, tax incentives

On the court case, I don't want to go over this issue, it has nothing to do with this forum or post, although I will add it was not the TT part of the DTL who were involved....

Wrong same people, on long term sick now. but still have to face a public enquiry

The S100 and MGP have nothing to do with this contract, if Greenlight (Or anyother persons/company)wanted to film and sell DVD's and then make a loss, then thats their choice but I note this year there is no S100 or MGP DVD, was this because the southern club & MMCC were asked to fund any loss? The way I see it is, more coverage, more fans wanting to come, more money into the central coffers, more money to spend on rider saftey, more good bands and more of A GOOD TIME FOR TWO WEEKS OF THE YEAR ! ! !

BS, every project the DTL have except for the TT loses money, the TT is the Golden Goose, that will bail out losing DTL ventures fact

It is not for the Manx Government to tell others how to run their business, they will however help if needed, thats what the DTi are there for, to help and introduce business.

Not giving much help lately, most major Gov contracts go off island one of the latest to a Company that's in trouble collusion in the UK




As for the Gov talking to a company, what would you say if "Another decorator" was to have a secret talk with the DTi and then they agreed to "Another Decorator" being given a 5 year contract worth 100k over the term...............Yep you would see your @rse and make sure every man and his dog knew about how unfair it all was.... FACT

They allready do well known, in the profesional side of construction, gets kept in the family fact last 2 major painting jobs went to unskilled UK firms that broke every rule in the book FACT

As for any hidden agenda, I would think that is highly unlikey and I think the MMCC know they need to take the event foward and I am sure they will but it takes time.

Moral of the story is Milk the TT Dry its the only Tourist attraction that makes a profit
