Regarding Ernie Coates and the others who have been supporting the requirements of the participants for years. I am led to believe that the issue is where they are being re-located to. I am told that this is because of the space that is required by Race Teams who are bringing in ever increasing numbers of large articulated vehicles, and that these take precedence over the Parts Support Vehicles. I believe that Ernie and Co have been moved further down the paddock and have not been informed that they are not wanted at the TT anymore.

From Ernie Coats and Dennis Trollops own mouths, they were told this year that they were no longer wanted at the event as they gave a bad image to the event. And when they made a responce that their services were needed by the riders were told that the TT was an International event and that the teams entered would carry all the spares they need just like any other BSB meeting Quote. They could have been located in their usual spots in B paddock this year if they were to pay the fee of £6000-00
