Implement the following changes for TT 2023! #ImproveTheTT #BackToTheRoots

The Issue

An opportunity has presented itself to improve the TT for the 2023 edition (and, indeed, going forward) and take it back to its roots.  We, the undersigned, wish to see the following happen.  

1) Replace the current scoreboard like-for-like, with no digital elements added.
2) Get rid of all Fanzones and cut the prices for tickets for the main grandstand.
3) Do not implement the proposed new schedule or stream the races live, as both have the potential to reduce attendances (this happened at the North West 200 in Northern Ireland when BBC NI introduced live streaming).
4) Do not allow the public to purchase tickets for the VIP tent. This should be for sponsors and their guests only.
5) Scrap the Fan Park and the Trackside Bar and redistribute the entertainment between various venues around the Island.
6) Reinstate the nightly entertainment and funfair on Douglas promenade when the works there are completed.
7) Return the TT launch and prize presentations to the Villa Marina and reduce the cost of the tickets.
8) Give the Radio TT contract to Manx Radio in perpetuity and provide them with the budget to return it to the old (i.e. pre-2019) format.
9) Keep the current system of free access to the paddock.
10) Arrange daily direct flights between Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man.

Thank you!
