I am a short circuit marshal, I applied to do the TT IMC marshals course and was given one at Birkenhead, fantastic course realy informative. These courses are available so if you want to marshal do one of these and maybe do some club racing to get a feel of the bikes and you will be a little better prepared for when you see them on the road. Our spineless MCN reporters could at any time have said, sorry this is not for me, and got behind the barrier. I have nothing but praise for the TT Marshals, and their organisation is 2nd to non, if they could see what work goes in to organising the Marshalling they would realise they should be supporting instead of critisising. Do they realy want to try and stop TT? I would suggest MCN never come back to the TT, for there own safety, unless the take up Tom Hanks offer of taking them round the mountain circuit in a side car. Many thanks to all who work behind the scenes to make the TT the capital of road racing in the world. As for MCN you can disapear up your own exhaust pipe. PS I will never read that excrement again, sorry about that.
