If they hate us, then surely, by definition they’re not “neutral”?

Poor decision in my view. Like many UK businesses, too many football clubs are run with an excessively short-term emphasis, rather than slowly building and investing for the long-term. I actually thought that BHA was slightly different in that respect, and that Bloom and the board did indeed...

"YES - You stupid prat, of course it was. He knew what he was inferring." I think you mean that he knew what he was implying Annoying that people still make this basic mistake https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/imply-or-infer

Would never happen in Preston Park ... [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I always get a better result at PP parkrun than at Hove Park, so that makes sense [emoji846] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No - that’s wrong. Highest was Preston Park at 53% according to the official figures Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This - Barns Green half is a brilliant event. Closed country roads, and the route goes through the grounds of Christs Hospital school. A few ups and downs, but no really hard hills. The whole village seems to be involved in the organisation and marshalling, and there's a real festival feeling...

I would second all this. I loved it, and thought the whole experience was magnificent, in all the ways you've described. It sounds as if we had a very similar run - I was on pace for my target (3:45) until about 17-18 miles, and then my thighs started cramping in a way I've not experienced...

Thanks - I've had full-on maranoia for days; my legs feel sluggish and achey, I keep thinking I'm getting a cold, and every time someone wishes me good luck or tells me they'll be stalking me on the app, I wish I'd not told anyone I'm doing it. At the same time, I'm super excited about it. There...

I’d be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt. He just didn’t look fit to me on Saturday

Didn’t see any other Albion shirts at Wolverhampton parkrun this morning. Lovely sunny morning, three loops of a nice little park with a lake, right next to Molineux. Friendly banter from local Wolves fans running, all of whom seem to want us to stay up rather than Cardiff. Didn’t go all out...

People said exactly the same about the disruptive protests of the suffragettes in the early 20th Century, but their cause had right on its side and public and political opinion was ultimately shifted by their actions. I’m not sure that the extinction rebellion lot will have a similar impact, but...

They are not mutually exclusive

Had a great day watching people I know running the marathon, after running the BM10k, which I also enjoyed a lot. Ran it at half marathon pace, as I'm in my taper for London in two weeks' time, so came in at 48.12, a good two minutes short of my PB from last year's Brighton 10k. The great thing...

Sounds like a real nightmare - I saw you with about 400m to go the finish (you didn't hear me shout), and you were going at what looked like a pretty decent pace. Given that pace at the end, I was puzzling why you weren't a bit further up the field. Now I understand! Kudos for sticking with it.

Ran the Brighton Marathon last year for first time, and loved it. Not doing it this year as I got a place for London marathon in a couple of weeks time, but I’ll be doing the BM10k on Sunday and will be hanging around afterwards to soak up the atmosphere and watch the real runners (including the...

If you mean the brighton marathon app, it's been out for a while, but it's included in the "Active Experience" app on the app store https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/active-experience/id1343144011?mt=8

from where I was looking at it (middle tier) it looked great. Only grouse was that, if we're going to start using banners of this size regularly, those underneath moving it along need to get a bit better at pulling the corners tight as it moves - for quite a lot of the time (see also picture a...

No, given that it is a self-selected sample (i.e it's the 600 NSC members who were sufficiently interested in the topic to be bothered to read the thread, and vote on the poll), it's extremely unlikely to be representative of the population (NSC members), because of selection bias. Whether that...

Genuinely interested why you think this should be the case. NSC is not the BBC or the civil service, but a privately-run internet forum. I see no earthly reason why those who administer the forum shouldn't express their political views, and run the forum in a way that favours their views (if...
