Sticky and CIOMTT; I've not stated I'm in favour, think it will work, or know how that will happen - I simply said if it does happen we would have racing in the "off" season which would be a good thing.
I know nothing about how it could be made a success. Personally I hope if it does happen that it is a success, pretty much like the TT has been to date. Hopefully the Consultants employed know their stuff well enough to make the right recommendations to make that happen.

As for the forum, I would have closed it down long ago, not because I don't like it, clearly as one of its highest posters I loved being on it, but commercially it was a liability in my opinion. You can argue that one til the cows come home, I'm just saying I wouldn't have kept it open not defending why they closed it, you'll need to speak to the DED for that one.
