Lets keep it civil, folks. This is a genuine issue and people are entitled to their own opinions, I just want to see them pleasantly expressed.
I'm fairly itinerant, having the luxury of 8 circuits or hill climbs in under an hour and a half (on the other hand, nowhere less than 50 minutes) so I pick and choose according to a few meetings I am committed to by way of position, several I don't like to miss and then whatever looks fun on the remaining free week-ends (all clubbie stuff apart from LMS and GTs). I am always made welcome wherever I go. However, I'm well aware that most circuits depend on a hard-core of regulars who they know will be there week after week whatever is on. I think that gives them precedence over me in any selection process to be honest, and if I were of their kind I would be unhappy not to be able to attend high profile meetings should I wish to because of large numbers of visiotors. I am a strong believer in loyalty and that it should be rewarded.
Personally, I fail to see the attraction of following a series round wherever it goes and while I'm sure the majority of marshals who do so are no different in ability from the rest of us there is a risk that some will suffer from complacency or superiority simply due to familiarity breeding content and that does not make for a happy team effort where it occurs. As I say, I avoid BTCC anyway, so I'm not speaking from experience and I would be delighted to discover that is wrong.
