Why did we need a 24hr old weather report and a lesson on how to make a bacon sandwich in a tent from Dumb and Dummer ?

Mr Hauxwell, if you had been sitting on the sofa and been handed the cup of tea you would have missed the %*%^*& coverage - dreadful

PS. Thanks Ronno - I was on my phone and being lazy

And the reply was

Wow that was a quick "insert generic response with little human interaction".

Yeah I particularly like the use of comments twice in the 3rd line!!

exactly that

will send e-mail, thanks Terry

I got the same reply, word for word this morning

just got this tripe back. They still could have shown more outfits.


We have received a response from our sports department.

'Due to adverse weather conditions on Wednesday evening, schedule
changes were implemented which meant Supersport Race 2 had to be given
priority over the sidecar racing in our highlight coverage on Thursday
Evening'.

Yep - I got the same response as you today, Brian. What a load of tripe They didn't respond to any of my many questions - what a surprise.

I think I heard a mention on radio TT commentary , that today's Senior (due to be shown tonight) will now be shown on Saturday , due to late running of event.
So tonight's programme should have enough time to show extended highlights of Thursday's sidecar race...we will soon find out !

"All the best bits" bacon sarnies anyone!

there are no pleasing some people! of course they are going to give the solos more tv coverage especially when the schedule went out the window for wednesday we should be grateful for what we got. Race a coverage was superb imho as for race b yes there wasn't alot shown in thursdays program but there was more shown tonight and maybe even more shown in a highlights program. maybe you should wait till itv4 has stopped airing tt2011 programs then make your minds up about how much coverage you saw.

Race B coverage was shocking & that's a fact. Of course we can all wait to see what else is offered but for the first airing of race B footage......that was poor, especially when you look at what we got to see instead......69 & Parish doing a camping thing. Cut that piece out & give it to sidecars at least eh?!!!

Hope to see more!

Yes it was a little dissapointing no Camping tonight the Sidcars were OK though
