Whats the chances of getting a proper,accurate
Whos-Who?list in the MGP programme this year?

It seems to have been compiled in recent years by people who havent got a clue about the sport, full of mistakes and false statements.Last year took the biscuit with next to no information about the riders at all.Dont tell me its anything to do with restriction of information laws because no-one has ever been compelled to contribute an entry, but 99% of riders do because everyone else does, thus keeping the Manx as the friendly,informal meeting it is.

I offered a couple of times to the MMCC to undertake the compilation of this item for the programme without any payment whatsoever,merely to have the satisfaction that it was done accurately and of interest to everyone.My offer wasnt pursued.

I want to know which town riders come from,what they do for a living,who has been riding in the Manx for 20 years,how many replicas,whose greatest achievement was drinking 25 pints on presentation night etc (or was that the Southern 100 Phil haha !)

More information like this gives me more database for quiz questions too,therefore theres more chance of quiz nights for racing related fund-raising functions.

My offer to compile the MGP Whos-Who? still stands.Id love to do it.Does anyone else thinkthat last years effort was even more rubbish than usual-or have I just spat the dummy over something trivial???
