Organisers say paying customers on the TT Grandstand will still be able to see the historic scoreboards despite a safety fence being placed in front.

Reducing hospitality VAT would 'directly affect' provision of frontline services
No conversations with UK over a reduction in VAT rates for hospitality businesses planned
