Fans of the TT are uniting in opposition to Motorcycle News.

The paper is running an article criticising marshalling at road racing events in the Isle of Man, which was written by two undercover journalists who signed on as marshals last week.

This has prompted calls for MCN to be boycotted, and signs are appearing around the Mountain Course.

Tourism Minister, David Cretney has written to Tony Carter, who visited the Island after the last piece which criticised marshalling.

Mr Carter subsequently apologised for any offence caused.

MCN News Editor Marc Potter has posted a reply on the iomtt.com forums, saying all they were trying to do is "cut down on unnecessary deaths."

This man from South London has marshalled for the first time this year and he doesn't hold the article in high regard.
