Great response to appeal for marshals

Marshal numbers are looking good, with less than 24 hours to go to the start of racing at TT 2008.

Isle of Man TT Marshals Association Chairman Bill Carden is delighted with the response to appeals for people to come forward.

As of this lunchtime 1,280 had registered, putting numbers at least on a par with the end of the 2006 festival.

But Mr Carden (pictured) says there is always room for more, and any late comers would be very welcome (audio file attached):
