Roger Mexico Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I doubt they have paid anything directly, it's not the bloody Olympics. It's just a medium sized UK sporting event that will probably bring a few thousand people over...exactly the type of event IOM should be aiming for. Maybe not directly, but they have to underwrite the event. If you look at the tender documentation for the 2016 National Road Championships, the associated projected budget shows a loss of around £90k. However that is presumably based on the event taking place of the British mainland. There will be considerable additional costs involved in getting not just the teams but other associated people such as officials and the film crew to and from the Island and accommodating them here.

SamHandwich Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Will it be run on the isle of man motorcycle road racing course? Yes - personally I think it's a shame they couldn't have been a bit more imaginative and show cased some parts of the Island that do not normally get shown.

j2bad Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Carefully chosen words there. You better do, I just registered 'Cycle TT' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finlo Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't think Rob had much to do with it, the bids went in months ago. You are correct - I only made the announcement on behalf of DED because Laurence was off island. Has he gone away to get his TT merchandise rebranded?

slinkydevil Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Will there be any Time Trial stages? Be nice to see a DED official standing in the road with a legal letter for the organisers setting up the Mountain TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman8180 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 DED have enough taxpayers cash to throw at this...but it doesn't mean that they got the best deal. They are desperate for a win to just justify themselves. But what price a win? Oh my fucking God, you are such a miserable, insufferable, down trodden, negative twat. You epitomise why these forums have become utterly unbearable most of the time and why there are only a handful of active posters left. Please, can you vanish for a while again? Cheers.

You don't think DED would throw a larger chunk of money than was necessary to obatain a 'quick win'? You epitomise stupidity if you accept things along those lines. What price 'victory' is all I ask.

I doubt it will be that considerable really over and above those figures. Another 10 - 15 k perhaps? Also where is it stated teams travel is paid for?

notwell Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Look at the document. Or should I say get someone to explain it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I ask the basic question...what on top of the Stokton-On-Tees bid last year, did the IOM Govt pay for next year? Isn't that a matter of public record? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamHandwich Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The budget also says the host venue can pick up extra revenue from sponsorship and corporate packages which isn't included in the £90k figure. Good find there Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Tatlock Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 So while most of you wank over some kind of victory here, you're not concerned with costs and just how much has been spent, or who was bid against or pulled out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Look at the document. Or should I say get someone to explain it to you. No, I think maybe you should explain. After all. You know so much about it all. It wouldn't matter to someone like you who doesn't understand things. I'm sure you should be ripping the head of it by now rather than trying to engage with adults on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
