A few years ago, the year DJ was sadly lost, there were several posts on another web site about undermaning at several areas and that was from marshals themselves.

After that time I spoke to the head honcho for marshals here in Scotland and I asked him if anyone ever approached him about the TT and he said no, which I found surprising……then maybe not. I don’t know how many, if any, were prepared to go to the TT, but it’s an avenue that in my opinion should be explored.

Anyway, I sent this information the IOM authorities and got a reply. Guess what, the guy was never contacted.

I know I’m changing the subject a little here but it makes me wonder. Maybe, just maybe, the powers that be should be chasing experienced marshals rather than inexperienced riders.
