Yes they do, and the word is that you're that road running club (in decline) with no decent fell races... and so the fun continues.

And all your good members have left i.e Crabtree. And you have lost one of your best juniors in Phil Done. Says everything about your club really, its in more decline than the economy of Greece

Excellent young Tom you are learning - you can go for the b*ll*cks without resorting to the F word.
I think you will find they were ok runners - till they left. Even I have beaten Crabtree this year and beat him last year as well. Notive they don't seem to want to join CVFR though.

Re: midsummer madness races
And arguably you have left Faisal Ismail (a cracking runner) in a rut and he hasnt really improved. SO even the road running/trail cant support its juniors

Don't understand the first bit - I assume its in Lancastrian where CV seem to have to go to get their members. You are entitled to your opinion about our races - do you not like them because they are all in different places. I assumed all CV members are agoraphobic because they only arrange events on one bit of moor. (Apart from the full trog when you come over to the light for a bit)

I was just trying to be factual rather than original - are you suggesting I should lie, also several of your posts in the past reference your girth - was just trying to be supportive - think of me as your girdle.

Funny that we actually provide the training for most of the up and coming juniors for all the local clubs. Even Ian Holmes's kids come to the thursday night sessions with professional coaching.

No wonder you struggle with navigation: Widdop is not the same as Midgley Moor is not the same as Erringden Moor.

1.Point proved
2. If you were not to scared to reveal your identity I would be interested to see if this were the case.
3. How can you tell?
Anyway - bored with this now - I can only win so much until I lose interest.

on what - if racing that was not the issue. The point was to bait CV which I think worked quite well given the responses.

Re: midsummer madness races
AS.
You were such a nice bloke when we were out training with Idle. Talking to me, making me feel welcome. Extending the hand of friendship. Chatting as we ran round the Bradford 3 Peaks.
I think you're a lovely bloke, with a great knowledge of fell running, and that you should be admired, and reveared as a great contributor to the greatest sport in the world. Without you, the world of fell running would be a lesser place.
I think the forum should extend the hand of gratitude to the almighty AntiSocial!

Sorry been away - you are quite right I counted the time in hours. When it comes to CV one doesn't need to try given their sense of inferiority.

He runs for a running club, that also does duathlons, triathlons and a neat line of cycling. Members do it all from adventure races to short, sharp road races. It has a cracking bunch of juniors, dedicated coaches and thanks to Brett a large range of races. Once Greenhead is sorted, with luck it will have a track as good as Halifax Harriers and possibly even a decent club house.
Horses for courses, CVFR are good at what they do, the mighty Wharfedale (sic Willmarsh!!) are good, so are KCAC. Each slaggging the other off, just sounds petty even though people are winding each other up for a laugh. Any visitor to this thread would think that people hate each other in fell running. I think people need to chill a bit!!

Re: midsummer madness races
But to join a real club, a club that's not insecure about the fact they might not win a race for a while, not scared that they won't flood a race with their colours, and most importantly, not scared to go to the pub for a pint (or two), hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ha!

i remember when keighley had two clubs, the hill runners with a cracking bunch of lads (and lasses) were mainly a bofra club joined up with the road runners. it didn't last long because most of the hill runners got disillusioned and formed wharfedale.
brett and some of the keighley people do a fantastic job and bringing on good runners and i have no doubt that they run their club fantastically and it is good to see them well supported.
calder valley are a much older club and a proper fell running club. it was anti that brought it up.
ps the green, red and white hooped vest are grotesque

Don't doubt anti brought it up, seems like him. Don't really know much about the history of KCAC, am relatively a newcomer to the area (moved up here 3 1/2 yrs ago). Still consider myself an outsider if you like. But KCAC have been welcoming, I had never run on fells before, knew nothing of FRA / BOFRA etc, only found out that history this year reading Xmas present book! I've found all clubs and people to be friendly and if I knew who you were JtB would happily have a pint with you.
Ps vests aren't great and look even worse when you take little biaras to a road race have to wear an XXS, that was seriously skintight and it didn't look good :o

biara, i ve no doubt kcac are a great club to run for and i know many of their runners and have competed against them for lots of years. i was just pointing out to anti, who was in many ways poking fun at cvfr. i believe it was all tongue in cheek in getting some club rivalry going and thats why i asked him that. i wasn't taking the micheal, just having a bit of fun back.
maybe at one race we will meet and i will buy you a pint.

My lad Adam was taking photos on Tom Tittiman. We'll try to get them uploaded and post a link. Dave Woodhead was taking photos as well apparently, so probably be on the Woodentops site.
And there are some photos from Reservoir Bogs, courtesy of Pete Fitzpatrick here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27749703@N03/sets/72157624314778592/

Oh I actually really do like our vests, the colours stand out, everyone knows the name of the club without a badge and they were my old school colours.

theres calder valley, a REAL fell running club. not far up the road from them there's todmorden and near you there's bingley, a club with a great fell running tradition.
and finally the only club with worst vest than yours are dark peak with the horrible brown and multi coloured efforts.

Thanks Bill (and Adam). I didn't spot Dave Woodhead, and he's not easy to miss. I must have been concentrating too much on my leaden quads and not twisting an ankle.
