This 'new idea' is actually nothing more than the rebirth of a failed strategy. To improve the TT's income requires serious and continued long term investment in both the TT and the IoM not selling out to promoters, advisers and other 'experts' out to make a fast buck.

Yes we have been here before, and that has also been pointed out to them, but their answer was 'the TT brand is much stronger now' they simply do not want to listen to anyone except their consultants who apparently are experts in these matters.

Let's face it, these consultants are never going to tell the DED the truth about the real feasibility of this dream, they are currently doing very nicely out of this project thank you, they have a naive client onboard, a real salesmans dream, and to tell them the truth at this stage would be like Turkeys voting for Christmas, they want to keep their fees rolling in for as long as possible.
