I'm doing the same. Had signed up for the half, but have run very little in the past month due to foot injury, so have switched to the 10k. Looking forward to it.
It does feel harsh in a way, but as others have said on here, it's hard to think of a fairer system. Personally, although I've been a season ticket holder for years and therefore have now acquired a good base level of points through that, that was a bit of a surprise, because it's a new system...
Stay in another Northern city that's easily accessible by train from central Manchester. For example, a single from Manchester to Sheffield on early Saturday evening costs about six quid. It's 50 minutes on the train from Manchester to Sheffield, but an evening in Sheffield is just as good as an...

I'm wondering whether the club should wait and see whether whole thing really is such a big issue over a number of matches, and not construct some expensive and complicated new system (all of the options for which, as Bozza's note points out, risk potential unwanted...

Yes, might give that one a miss - have done Leicester and B'mouth so far this season. Would have liked to have done Watford as the Cassiobury Park parkrun is walking distance from Vicarage Road, but in the end as I wasn't staying over, it would have involved too early a start for me.
First run for over three weeks - testing out my foot tendon injury. Ran the Bournemouth Parkrun, cool but sunny, nice course in the park just behind the Dean Court stadium. Usual friendly crowd, admirably restrained on the derogatory banter once they heard where I was from. Foot held up ok, but...
