Now, there are two very interesting postings above, which indicate that perhaps the most commonly held belief; that The Marshalls fully and deservedly received a public apology from the Clerk of the Course - Mr Eddie Nelson, may not be shared by all, and that consideration for the pressures that the CoC comes under have not been considered.

I wonder just how many others are of the opinion that "The Bag" has, that in fear of "upsetting the applecart" (heaven forbid any one should say anything to a marshal !!!), they just keep quiet and go with the flow, in order to ensure that disruptions are kept to a minimum where the racing is concerned.

Do you think that there is a faction within the Marshalling fraternity who are behaving in a manner that is detrimental to the overall benefit of the racing in general ? (They can't race without us, so don't upset us) !!!!

It would be interesting to hear from people who are close to the racing just what they personally think of the recent incident and the constantly broadcasted comment of "Without Marshals there would be no racing".

Whilst that is certainly very true, as The Bag says - "There would be no racing without riders, organisers, spectators, each one as important as the next".
