beepee Wrote: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 Hurst's' 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.


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?

Unfortunately there has been a knee jerk reaction to alot of the things over the 26th incident. Further more there has been no clarification over the exact meaning of the words 'best of their ability'. This could mean anything in a court of law where an official is charged under civil law. Which makes it very difficult for anyone to sign on and feel totally at home in what they do. I totally understand this view BUT please read on....

Please though, I do believe that if this situation happened again that things would be so different and that the Club, the TTMA and all those involved with the running of the Manx would support the person in all ways possible. This would be in their best interests as if they didn't then who could blame anyone for not signing on the next year, and there would be no more TT or MGP. I do not under any circumstances believe that this is going to happen as they bring too much to the economy of the Island to have anything other than total support happen.

So please if you are capable then please sign on. I think it would be a good idea if the organisers ran another TT IMC course on Saturday, maybe this would help them with their numbers.
