You are so right. As a marshal, I get some total idiots who argue that:
No-one will hit me here (that was on the wall where a rider crashed and was killed some years ago)
It's my human right to sit here!
I'll move if there's a crash... (I wish I had a pound for every time I've heard that... so you move at 200 mph, then?)
I paid £xxx to get here and I'm watching right here.
and
I marshal in England so I know what I'm talking about.......... yeah, right!
Last year showed us that things can happen we didn't even imagine in our worst nightmares, so where we see any chance that a 200mph missile full of fuel is going to land, lets make sensible arrangements. Nobles is busy enough without unnecessary casualties, so, if you see a Prohibited Area sign, or a marshal asks you to move, behave yourself. That way you can go on enjoying the TT and life, for a bit longer.
I know it's disappointing to have to move from that spot you spectated from for the last 10 years, without incident, but:
bikes are much faster,
you may have just been lucky and...
as Steve Hislop said when he retired from the TT... "I've had all my lucky breaks"... maybe you have too.
Here's to a safe, fast TT with no avoidable incidents.
