Retiring Isle of Man Sport Chairman Geoff Karran fears current financial problems for the Isle of Man could hit funding for sport.
He says part of the success story over the past decade is directly linked to money contributed by Government and the private sector.
It helps athletes go away to compete and raise their standards.
Geoff Karran hopes all parties involved pull togther as the publicity gained for the island by sporting achievement is invaluable:-
Steam Packet wanted to be 'certain' before issuing statement, says MD
Manxman to be out of service until late September
Onchan Commissioner denies assaulting member of public
David Quirk claims he acted in 'self-protection' following verbal abuse
Tourists praise 'unique' horse tramway
Manx Heritage Transport Festival gets underway
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet says the situation is hugely disappointing
