Manx radios sports editor,Tim Glover,signed on as a marshal on air and ran thru the procedure and also asked some questions.One of these was in relation to legal action being taken against marshals.Roger Hursts' answer was that any marshal doing his/her job as instructed to the best of their ability would be unlikely to have proceedings taken against them.He also confirmed that a written reassurance could not be given.

The risks of marshalling seems pretty small to me but clearly others don't agree.

Furthermore is there a fifth column at work which actively wants the races to finish,there very many vested interests in the Island these days or am I getting paranoid?
