The problem with Marshalling is that most people don't want to do it. Especially if they are experienced players and KNOW how to do it.
A lot of the people who are doing it, are doing it because they are knew to the game, need the money. I used to do it because i couldnt afford to play more than once a month, it was one way of getting two bob and seeing some people who (hopefully) knew how to play the game.
I thought it would give me a better idea of how the game should be played (yes that worked) and improve my game (Failed there)
Rental marshalling is easier, less hassle, less work, pays as well and no one questions your parentage ............
One solution would be to up the wages but then we would have to pay bigger game fees. And who is going to want to do that?
Maybe we could all "adopt a Marshall" at each tournament? Keep him well supplied with refreshing drinks, invigorating snacks and some high brow reading material full of decorous young women who have just discovered how overheated they are when dressed ............ I think my team can have the Berk marshalling in field 2 at the Dartford 7's.
Instead of slagging them off for doing their best when we are not willing to solve the problem ourselves
