I got the metrolink into town and five went past me before I was able to squeeze on one. Most people were either at OT, on Deansgate or in Albert Square.

We tried to get in Albert Square but couldn't because it was full; I don't know how many people can fit in there but you're looking at hundreds of thousands. The photos I put up were just off Deansgate.

but mainly the way the game is "over-hyped" nowadays
culminating in considering a season finishing 2nd in the Prem and reaching the FA Cup Final as a failure

I'm hearing that DTS. Imagine:

Jebb's trainer sacked due to failure to win at Fairfield
Bell moves to Ambleside for 120k/week
Borrowdale to be renamed Sanyo in £3m vest sponsorship deal
Crowd violence follows Bailey's shock defeat at Edale
Sky package: only £30/week - watch every step of the English champs
Taggart refuses to sit on team bus after exclusion from relay team

Makes sense and explains my earlier posts. I left the gym too quickly to see the end. Too depressing to watch as a Gooner :rolleyes:

Like the Soreen Stanbury Splash.... or the Daleside Auld Lang Syne.. Fell running has already been ruined by these big corporate sell outs... :-)

Plus there was almost a fight at the Moelwyns 2010? Between supporters and a runner.. not me..

I didn't hear about that. What happened? How "almost" was it?

Ye gads - you're right! Any local catteries or music shops prepared to sponsor my Cat and Fiddle down-and-up fell relay??

It was a language mix up I think.. supporters speaking welsh.. a runner turned around and got quite agitated that they were being insulted.. usual english in wales paranoia.. (the old 'they switched language when I walked in") and then later on at another point there was another flare up...

Gone to the dogs...

* Just seen how english gets a red line under on my computer.. spelt wrong for lack of capital latter.. yet not wales...
