A fool and his money..... Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 3 minutes ago, Fred the shred said: Now the appeal is desperate they need 16 for tonight or the show will not go on so obviously no experience needed 🤨 . The latest is no Sunday races they will be held on Monday due to bad forecast, at least it is a Bank Holiday so perhaps not so much inconvenience caused for the people who get to enjoy the day off. How do you get "obviously no experience needed" from that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I get no experience needed by the appeal they did not ask for experienced Marshalls just anyone who could help turn up at the tent at the grandstand at 6.00 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Mainwaring Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 16 minutes ago, Whiskey said: Maybe they should be. And how many more marshals would be needed to do that? Never been such a big problem, marshaled for many years in the 90s/early 00s and don't think I remember any such reports. Could well be due to more reporting now, but something as potentially deadly as this you'd think would have been in the media back then.
