People moan that he's turned it into an event for tourists and 'bucket listers' but those are actually the types of people you need in order for an event to thrive, you can't just rely on the hardcore fans because there really isn't that many of us.

Good post, fair points.

It's interesting to take a look around you on the ferries.

TT ferries have an age group of 40's on average, there's some younger and some older but I'd guess it averages out at 40's.

Do the same at the manx and it's minimum 50's, there's a lot of grey hair at the mgp 😁. Which I'd hazard a guess that they're TT fans of old, maybe still going to the TT or maybe not.

I've said it before, I go to both but as i age, my favorite is the manx..... My hair is grey now 😁
