I'd go there with the attitude that you're starting at 10am and just try and push in. Most of the time the people you'll be dealing with won't be overly bothered.What wave are you? 10AM would be absolutely ideal. I’m going to try and persuade the organisers to let me change when I collect my number tomorrow.
I remember the finishers area being an absolute ballache last time, but it’s a blur, so it it can be done in 10 minutes I will!
More to the point Why isn't Doug running it as well..... needs to pull his finger out.What? Where’s my interview?!
We are massiveI know two marathon runners on Sunday. Ones a Cov fan and he's quite quick so definitely make kick off. The others a Man U follower and he's slow as fuck so won't make the game.
1-0 Cov already
Where are you all showering???
Wet wipe and a spray of lynx
Al fresco?Where are you all showering???
Man Utd fans mate. We are playing Man Utd on sunday kidis this just really Leeds fans turning up without a ticket?
Have a great runManaged to sort a plan which should get me there for just after kick off. It’s obviously reliant on a few things, such as me actually finishing the race in a decent time….!
But feeling more positive I’ll make it before they shut the gates.
If you see an exhausted half dead looking marathon runner tomorrow, feel free to stay away from the smell of sweat or say hello and help me rehydrate!

Bit out of order on your fellow fans if you bowl up reeking of BO after running for 4 hours. Knock the game on the head and enjoy the marathon.
You are not good looking enough,having a face for radioWhat? Where’s my interview?!

Lots of Pro Palestine and Counter protests being planned apparently on Sunday, i would suggest getting to Wembley early.
Heard this as well last night from a well known face in RamallahLots of Pro Palestine and Counter protests being planned apparently on Sunday, i would suggest getting to Wembley early.
Nothing desperate about it. I’d be pissed off if some smelly tramp was next to me during the game. Think of other people.
Asides from that, good luck! If this is your first marathon, I think you might also be underestimating just how knackered your legs will be afterwards. I could barely walk for a few days.
Did you make it to the game?I know I’ve mentioned it on a few individual threads, but I can’t believe I’m the only person in this boat on here (be it regular poster or lurker!).
I’m running the London Marathon on Sunday and with my now confirmed start time of ~11:00, it’s probably unrealistic to think I’ll make a 3:30 KO - which is shit.
I’m hoping to run it in ~4 hours, but it’s about an hour commute to Wembley, including the 30 minutes the organisers advise it takes to get out of the finishers area!!
I’ve spoken to Wembley and they confirmed the gates close around 50 minutes, so all being well I have a chance of making it for the second half.
Is there anyone else in a similar situation? If so, what are your plans to get to Wembley?
Or, is there a bar in London fans are heading for to watch either in general or anyone else watching/partaking in the marathon?
And before anyone mentions it, I cannot defer as it’s part of a wider running challenge I am doing for charity (even if it is tempting!).
Did you make it to the game?
What time did you run?
Hope you're all good bud
I did indeed, sub four hour marathon, despite one of those “proper” runners (too short shorts, weirdly skinny etc) tripping me up at mile 3.
I was in my seat for KO and despite the result, I’m so pleased I made it!
So close to being a perfect day!
And people around me were very congratulatory re the marathon, as if they didn’t care about the fact I might smell in an open arena. Weird hey?
(thank you for asking btw!)
