It is like my cats left paw, it is neither fair nor right that Malcolm should not be provided with a pass or access to information that he diseminates around the world via this site.
I have tried to defend the poor tech guys who are copping heaps.
As to the reactionaries, well they are of course entitled to their own opinion. We can all understand the feelings of the riders who have had to shell out, perhaps it would be fair if they received some recompense.
I was just calculating that if there are say 80 riders in the TT week and the transponders cost 180 pounds each then the organisers, as a jesture, could pay the 14400 pounds back to the riders at the end of the forthight.That is the price of 2880 programs. After all if the riders didn't turn up the whole place wouldn't make a cent. This would let everyone leave the island on a pleasant note.
