    9am start so I am hoping to get to Swan for a pre game beer for midday, with a 1.30pm kick off. A bit tight but should be ok. It will make me run faster and sadly rush off straight after once I have collected my bag with a change of clothes and jump on a bus to Falmer. I have a tooth abscess...

    Huddersfield and Tottenham tickets on sale on the same day

    I would have though everyone going to Huddersfield will also do Spurs so means can do both at once. Have to say the new ticket site apart from when the payment part failed has worked pretty well IMHO.

    As I ran the short Brighton HM last year I got this one at a reduced rate - honestly cannot remember how much I paid. I aree that big races are getting expensive, you really need to get the early bird prices! I am currently hovering over the entry button for the 2018 Loch Ness Marathon - thats...

    Barns Green HM for me. Superb event, well organised and a cracking but tough route! Chip time was 1.57.35 so was happy with that as wanted under 2 hours for this beast of a course. Every time you came down one hill you soon seamed to be going up the next one. Not particularly steep but all...

    I will be there as well, but am stupidly doing the HM. I will probably be wearing a blue hoody before the start if its cold, buts it forecast to be quite warm! Otherwise I will probably we wearing my purple martlets running top and black Albion shorts.

    Afternoon all. I dont think this has been posted before (but probably has and I missed it). The site lists all park runs and the elevation https://jegmar.com/fastest-races/parkrun/ According to this Haywards Heath (Clair on this list) is the 439/458 hilliest! Hove Prom is 15/450. Can...

    [Albion] Bournemouth Cup game - did you go, or did you "go"?

    This used to be a big problem with England away games, people buying tickets for others or cap hunting. THE FA introduced the following - only get loyalty points for home games when tickets are scanned, for away games its now 100% ticket collection. You have to show your Englandfans card and...

    West Ham away

    40 seats now showing as available! Managed to get my mates for him in the second tier of points so happy with that! I guess people keep tickets in the basket and they reappear when they log out? When I first went in none where available other than wheelchair, thought I would try again and...

    I saw Bozza in the pub before the game so can vouch he was at least in Bournemouth!

    I was looking at this one, not decided yet. Not run along Bognor seafront so that would add to the list along with Eastbourne, Brighton, Hove, Worthing, Littlehampton & Portsmouth.

    I did the GSR last year. It was an excellent race, very wide roads and I found it no problem despite the number of runners. I am doing it again this year as I enjoyed it so much, friendly runners and great crowds, even the Pompey FC supporters section, probably the noisiest support on the...

    Littlehampton 10k for me yesterday and a new PB of 49.31 :smile: . I can see some others had great times as well, I thought it was almost perfect running weather, even the slight head wind for the last 1.5km on the seafront was OK. https://www.strava.com/activities/1177400311 Ran for Team...

    Arundel 10k was tough!! A long long drag up for the first 3 miles and another nasty hill at about 4.5miles. Finished in 54.26 214/553. Definitely the toughest 10k I have done, especially as it was a tad warm! However I really enjoyed it, fantastic run through the town, the castle and...

    ps Did anyone see "the pacemakers" on BBC 2 last night? It was about "older" people running, it concentrated on people over 90 still doing the 100 meters. It was brilliant! Well worth catching on iplayer!
