Again i "thought" that saturday racing was ended ,wifes info so very suspect !

I heard a "rumour" that the dreadful forecast for friday has the organisers considering having the senior race on thursday or no senior his year,as i said rumour !

Our brightest & best leave the island because there's bog all to do here until you get into your 30s & take up cross-country cycling Little if any effort is made to harness their talents to the benefit of the nation Let's build a 'tech first' economy by investing in their training & education on or off island & get them back here to help create a better future sounds brilliant,pity we have such a bunch of wankers governing us.

it may give them tossers in liverpool a little to think about with their pissing about over a berth,holyhead suits me fuck liverpool.

go Donald go.

Congratulations buddie hope you make a million,we fucking need the taxes.

at the end of the day they signed up to their current contract. therefore they should have the boats serviceable or be in a position to get replacements up to the end of the contract, not years earlier and come running to government and cry they can't afford new boats unless they get a new contract early?? reason being they pay into foreign pensions with the profits. give them a new contract early and how many years short of the new contracts expiration date will they be back crying again? I heard from a reliable source the racket make around 15 - 16% profit in a service/business that usually does well to get 5% profit. sure they don't have the huge turnover of P&O but as already said the profits don't get put back into the company. for any other contractor that can't fulfil their contract in the real world they get fucked off and the whole process goes out to tender. if a company was in place that didn't have so much debt round its neck reliable boats and a decent service could be provided. Food for the numbskulls (MHK's) tiny fucking peabrains

Only about £7,000,000 per year, so not too much. All going to the portuguese banksters,disgusting.

Sounds about right for the crap the racket are now reduced to operating.

"NOT A TAX HAVEN" says the headline,we are fucking nothing now!!!

Nice guy was richard,always paid his bill,cash only.

dennis healey's brother!

Hear Hear.

I disagree,i was in a crowd of 140,000 in the seventies,same setup as lepping,no problem.

But if the families are offered and accept money, that will be seen (by many) as the aim in keeping this going for decades. The guilty (if they are) have to live with what happened too. I don't think any financial compensation should be awarded. It was never the aim was it? What this should be about is some level of accountability. The thing I found most alarming was the alteration by the Police of peoples witness statements. That is quite extraordinary. Sadly, that was a disaster waiting to happen in the mid to late 80's. If it hadn't have been Hillsborough it would have been somewhere else. You had a range of very poor quality stadiums, very little proper ticketing and crowd control, and large amounts of football fans regularly turning up to a game under the influence of alcohol. I suspect that on the day once the chain of events was set in motion (by the failure to control the large volumes of people arriving right at kick off) then it spiralled out of control very quickly. I don't think the Police deliberately set out to do a bad job but the covering up of things post incident is something that the Senior Officials should be accountable for. I remember watching it all unfold on TV. Shocking really. have you ever been in a full terraced stadium with the usual galvanised crush barriers of that era? unless you have its very difficult to understand.
