Yes FCM I read you loud and clear,BUT ,what does it cost to get to mallory and live for the weekend and fuel the bike etc,a lump less than popping to the Island for two plus weeks,unless you,re coming from the Island to race at Mallory of course. The lads,and ladies,need to find five or six times the cost of Mallory to live the dream of the Mountain. The club races don,t totally need spectator money, it,s just about covered with entries, but the Island looks to make money from fans,without a full grid the fans will reduce so will the income. It,s a difficult choice to make,but i feel the higher costs will turn off some of the classis boys who might just say enoughs enough,and the classics are the highlight for possibly most of the Manx fans.Well,that,s my thinking anyway.
