London Marathon

Lad at work, big Bury fan, hates us with a passion. He's running the London Marathon in April in aid of a Leukaemia charity; I'd have chucked me usual tenner in but then suggested that I'd pay more if he ran it in a Bolton top. He asks how much more.... :-k whats that humiliation worth then?? :-k He's getting a bit desperate as if he doesnt raise ??1200 he looses his ??100 deposit and gets charity blacklisted, which seems a bit harsh...

I'm sure we could get a decent amount of money together for him to do that - we should also stipulate that he has to have "Bury Bucketshakers" on the back of the shirt!

i'd go to ??11.

tell him to fook off.

how about raising say ??250 from us lot, or make up the shortfall, its a very good cause dont forget, on the condition he runs it in a bolton shirt.

 

thinking of it, it could be a good PR thing for the site.

 

so get your f??ckin wallet out happy.

 

:D

I bet he's a secret wanderer anyway

if he doesnt raise ??1200 he looses his ??100 deposit and gets charity blacklisted, which seems a bit harsh...

 

and in the next breath they will say " we dont have enough people doing things for charity"

right, I've had a word with him and as long as he gets at least ??100 he'll run it in a WanderersWays shirt and provide photographic proof. Can't say fairer than that!

Oh and he's got a signed Bury shirt up for grabs as well in case anyone wants to bid for expensive bog paper...

As the money is likely to be raised on here - what are the chances of having wanderersways on the shirt?

 

I'm good for a fiver BTW.

we can have whatever we want on the shirt - wanderersways.com in big letters if needs be.

I'm in for a fiver max, Bury fans are utter scum.

 

He'd be better off better Bury fans to beat our bid, given how much they hate us and all.

Bury fans are utter scum

 

come on now

 

don't hold back

 

say what you really think

aye, a tenner from the leigh one on offer here.

Cheers folks - looks like we'll be able to sort summat out for him, but I'll not mither people about it now as its a couple of months away.

Bear it in mind though Happy if you want to get summat knocked up advertising the site.

Swanny - hopefully they dont go the whole hog if people make a fair effort - I guess the threat is there to stop people using it as a backdoor way into the event (you can get straight in apparently but only by lottery).

Carlos - good point, he should get the Bury Rivals board to chip in. Then again, even if all three of them dig deep it wont amount to much :D

I'll shout again nearer the time (think its actually the day after the Charton game, whoops sorry I meant FA Cup semi).

I'll go a fiver as well.

 

He could get all the Bury fans to pledge a fiver as well.............that should swell the coffers by about ??35

How long is the london marathon??

 

Maybe I should run it for NW

It's 26.2 miles IIRC

It's roughly the same length as the New York Marathon, I think.

how long was the marathon in the olympics last year?

It was the same distance as the Bolton marathon used to be.
