Quote from Barry..."But to make the whole length of the road down towards Bedstead out of bounds to fans to watch is totally over the top. There was NEVER any incident that would have endangered spectators sitting in that area during my lifetime, or having spoken to people a lot older than me, ever before that either, which would have been deemed to be high risk to spectators. "

I have been informed the reason this area is prohibited is because the land owner has forbidden access. This, of course, is another reason why some areas are out of bounds.
