I have to say,that in all these discussions,and the inquest,That I believe that the marshals should ONLY be responsible for looking after the welfare of the competitors ie. correct flag signals and dealing with all incidents involving competitors,including clearing debris from the course.They should NOT be responsible for checking signs and should only advise spectators from standing at potentially dangerous vantage points.This should be done by the main organisers and the police.They get paid for doing their jobs.With regard to "prohibited areas", how can marshals move the public from these areas when they are not supposed to be in those areas themselves,or are they??Are marshals realy permitted to stand in prohibited areas,or not? This question has yet to be clarified as far as I can see.If an area is not safe for the public,then it is not safe for a marshal.I,for one,would not stand in a prohibited area again
