The Isle of Man TT is a supporter's event. It exists for the fans and riders and to promote the business of motorsport and motorcycle racing. It is not in keeping with the tradition and spirit of this event, in its one-hundred-and-sixth year, to exclude those supporters who are not present on the island from being able to enjoy the event in every possible way.

The undersigned, as members of the racing community and supporters of the Isle of Man TT, note that official action taken to remove amateur broadcasts of the races will not be received warmly; advise that such action will breed discontent between the supporters and North One Television; conclude that such discontent could lead to diminishing audiences for programmes produced by North One Television, and to an erosion of the goodwill enjoyed by North One which allows that company to produce its coverage of the races.

Conversely, allowing such webcams to be broadcast will have no effect on any of these factors. The webcams are limited by: image quality, absence of sound, limited placement around the course. No-one will be turned off of the idea of watching North One Television's coverage because they have had the benefit of seeing these cameras, but the resolve of our tight knit community may be turned against North One if it continues to act against the interests of the supporters of the Isle of Man TT.
