Cascadia Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 I'm sooooooo nervous / excited.... It's now 1.20 in the morning, I have to get some sleep before I get up at 6.45 ready for the 3 o clock games. I may explode if we are promoted today.

suewhistle Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 And so the day dawns. Shroppie expects that every Saint this day will do his/her* duty. That is all. * before the pc brigade get me. Too right mate! :-) I'm doing the serious celebrating tomorrow (hopefully) as it's my birthday and we've a league match. I sooooo want to play and get a goal so I'm going to be kind to my system. Monday I'm not working... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theyin Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Just checking in with the 8am roll call, sorry I'm late. About to set off from sunny Brizzle. Can't wait!!! A 747 could not land at Southampton. Even a 737 couldn't get in there, the runway is too short (and too narrow for a 747) even if it was empty. Bournemouth then, just youtubed one landing there. Add a few hundred on the bill, hell a couple of thou, still sounds astounding. If it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint lard Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 I can see the wait untill kick off is really going to drag. I cannot concentrate on anything other than the game. This is painful. Is it too early for a beer? My little boy can hardly contain himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkins has done a sterling job thus far,it also seems the players have adapted well to what he wants them to do,however much it meant they have had to change their own preferred personal playing style. They got there eventually. Onwards and upwards I hope. Enjoy the day DD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshsaint92 Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Joshua King anyone?? On loan at Hull from United. Seen him take Cardiff apart a few weeks ago single handedly. Was very impressed. Played on the right that night but can also play through the middle. He is a very similar player to Matty Phillips. Cant see him getting a chance at United and I think we could get him fairly cheap.

Saint Garrett Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Well a few casual beers a quick trip to the seaside.

InvictaSaint Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 I'll be watching online from bed resting up for tomorrow. Promotion would be a nice pre-marathon boost. Although I may then be too excited to sleep. Do think we'll win though. They're good when they know exactly what they have to do, and I think those Reading celebrations will have hurt them having led the way for so long. Good luck Adrian for tomorrow. My GP friend is doing it too and when he went up to register at Excel on Thursday, was told by an organiser to 'watch out for the sh1t and puke from 15 miles onwards'! Lovely!! Good luck mate; take my hat off to anybody running the marathon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Thanks mate, I'll need it! Hadn't thought about the sh1t and puke! Hopefully if I'm reasonably quick I'll get there before most of that floods the roads. I've run about 50 marathons,some of thm not too bad, never seen much sh*t and puke though, sometimes a little bit of puke in the finishing zone.I'd be more concerned about all the plastic bags,water bottles and old clothes in the start zone unless you're in the fast lads section.

Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 (edited) Starts 9.45 with the biggest group. What time do you think I should get there to try and be vaguely near the front? 'Bout now I'd guess...seriously though pretty early,I've run London 3 times but I've always had the advantage of having an AAA championship number.Don't much care for the London Marathon, start is too eccentric from the available accomodation, you have to tart about with trains and a bit of a hike to the start.They used some sort of wave start in Paris last week,gives everyone a chance of a decent unhindered start I suppose but I'm not too sure of the principal that was used to allocate the start waves. At Paris Versailles it used to be on a strict 10km time order for the first 6 or 7 waves then in whatever order the people turned up in afterwards.It was complicated though,easier now with chip timing being accepted for standards levels and not just the main clock time. Aren't there pacemakers at London? If so just get in the group for your target time,those lads will know what they're doing. Yep looked it up, Runners World are doing them again, guess the modalities are somewhere on the RW site if they aren't in the Marathon Information booklet.

Window Cleaner Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Luckily I'm staying near London Bridge, so 20 mins from door to Greenwich Park. Want to be there early, but not standing around in the cold for ages. Probably aim to arrive an hour before the start. I don't need to do anything. No bags to hand in, nothing to pick up etc. Thanks for the tips over the weeks though. I'd have thought an hour before was way too late but I'm unfamiliar with how it is at Greenwich nowadays.Do check out the pace groups though.Best of luck with it, probably have a look on Eurosport after my run.

You see I nearly did this with a bottle of jonnie walker (not the fridge bit obviously) but refrained just in case. Superstisions are stupid but I can't stop myself, is that a little OCD?
