Now ,what exactly is meant by 'oldies on here' if it is long standing members then I probably don't qualify but if it means old farts then I do !.

I would say that this site is inhabited by older more experienced people who really don't see the point of being argumentative for the sake of it therefore we don't get many responses to posts although we are all interested to read others points of view.

Purely out of interest would subscribers have been happy to have paid out to visit the Island for the classic races as the DED wanted the MGP to become.

Fortunately I live on the Island but although the 'classics 'are by far and away my favourites, as a race meeting I don,
't think they would have been that successful as a visitor attraction and may have led to the entire meeting being scrapped........or was that the plan anyway?
