Even Rob Callister wouldn't be dumb enough to worry about that. You'd have thought it would be many more, what with the TT being such a Huge Global Brand and that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought it would be many more, what with the TT being such a Huge Global Brand and that. As mentioned earlier that logo is not the official one. Punters are in the main clued up as to what’s legit or not. Official merchandising , or the first of the range is in TTShirts on Queens prom now. Just viewed it myself a few hours ago. Cheaper than last year for T shirts , £23 each , but sadly still over priced but that is totally down to Government Motorsport division. Numptys the lot of them. Quality of garments are better but designs while better than last year are a bit Meh……..oh well. Let’s see what the general public think . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Non-Believer Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Spar outlets have wheeled out last year's leftover Cube tat again as well I see, not looked at the prices yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Book Company on Castle street has them also. He bought up loads of the redundant stock from Government/MIC at rock bottom prices to get rid and recover some money I believe .

Numbnuts Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) When did the scaffold go up and the fencing into the road at the bottom of Summerhill. Old Tram offices ? . Anyone else think that it might cause issues when the TT traffic gets heavy. That’s some hire for Absoulute Scaffolding. Nothing done for god knows how long . Needs a few scaffolders down there to open up the pathway and get rid of the barriers and the likes obstructing the traffic. It’s clear nothings happening anytime soon after the fall out with DOI experts who said it needed dropped and the other ones that said it didn’t. Another Newsons on the Quay !.

victorian dad Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 "Cheaper than last year for T shirts , £23 each". What sort of Muppet pays £23 for a T-shirt probably made in a South East Asian sweatshop? Presumably the same knobheads equipped with an iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And equally I’ve been pretty oblivious to it also but today with TT looming had me thinking . Pretty sure it’s a few hours work for a couple of scaffolders and would aliviate any issues that might arise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official merchandising is £23 this year and I agree with you it’s expensive . But that’s totally down to Governments Motorsport division and the Merchandiser. There’s really good T Shirts from local outlets at around £12 or so with great designs. Ohhhh , and for the record most Tshirts come from Asia or the likes of Turkey as that’s just the way it’s been for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you don’t have kids who want football kits, or any other type of branded stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are expensive too. I guess expensive is a subjective view. I think it's expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Much publicity on the NPM this morning by Plod, informing the GMP how it is protecting our borders, issuing a warning to those tempted to bring in illegal substances. Does TT bring more drugs to the island as opposed to any other time of the year? I find these interviews both dick waving and grandstanding, congratulatory and justifying their jobs. The police should be dealing with the importation of drugs 24/7 365, in a normal manner, instead of publicity seeking initiatives. The same goes for road safety, vehicle/motorcycle standards, or is it a case of hammer the local population at various times of the year? I don’t know whether the IOM Police have sniffer dogs on the boat sniffing out motorcycles, motorcyclists and other boat passengers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
