The Walk of Fame/Shame after the finish line seemed to last forever. Thanks to you and your team. I love my medal!

Excellent performance today, well done HB&B.
I stood down by Hove lawns and gave all the runners wearing BHA colours a shout of 'Seagulls!', which got a nod or thumbs up, except from a dude in a pink Albion shirt, who just ran by. This was explained I suppose by the text on the back, which was CPFC REMF 
Fair play to him obviously though for the effort for such a good cause

Ta. Aint that funny I had about 5 of you to choose from. Cheers well presented.
I stayed until 3.30
Did you see the Whoopsadaisy gathering on the right, 200 yards before the finish, or did they all miss you?
Big up to all of you. Hey! And me too. I was there cheering on my wife on her first marathon...and then anybody else that passed by too. I feel proud as punch with the city today. My wife has always liked the city but it's never really been part of her soul. It is now. She was moved to tears by the support all around the course, even out by the power station.
Still can't see me getting her to a match though.

I can only echo what others have already said. The support was incredible. I was struggling with an injury from mile 17 on and there were times when I was walking, but the shout of 'come on John' got me going again. Thank you to everyone that helped get me over the finnish line

A very big well done to all of you. I just cannot imagine running ten miles, let alone a full marathon. Congratulations.
My first marathon yesterday and I wouldn't have done it anywhere else! Amazing support and fantastic organisation. My family and girlfriend were down supporting and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Everyone involved and who turned up to support did the city proud!

For the first few miles i did respond with a few shouts of Eagles but soon takes its toll on you. Was great having lots of people shouting at me though and really helped keeping me going. Was also good for the few that realised i was palace. Bloke in a pompey shirt came up to me and said 6-0, i responded that i loved the score just like i will love relegating you on tuesday night. Think i confused him a little bit.

That is pretty much the time I ran in, give or take a minute. Got a humongous cheer from the Whoopsadaisy posse which certainly helped me finish! Took bloody ages to get all my stuff together and wander back. Lovely fish and chips and good to meet some of the gang!
You were lucky they saw you, most of us had gone.

Someone on Twitter (@knickknock) trying to get in touch with the man who gave his warm lumberjack style jacket to someone in trouble at about 23 miles, if anyone has any info.

My first marathon yesterday and I'll never forget the experience. Superb support all around the city - really life affirming stuff. Makes you proud to come from here. The last 5 miles were hell and I don't think I'd have made it without the cheering and support from people I've never met. Great to see so many Albion shirts out there as well and even had some good banter with the cheeky Hammers fan with 6-0 on his back and the lad in the Palace shirt. Hi fived Gus at the start and yelled 'Ees complicated!'.
