    On a personal note. There is to be fair a rather optimistic target set for this of €1000. If we raise that I will personally commit to running the Beer Mile this year in a fancy dress outfit of the forums choice. :)

    €695 -just saying :)

    Really haven't a clue of who's who for the match-ups so I'll just take the side-bet on the so-called villain vs the boards average :)

    Great cause, well done on raising so much.

    Not sure about an official meet up beforehand but certainly after I'm sure a crowd from here will gather.

    I'm going to wear a boards.ie running top for those who don't know me in person yet. So if you see me please come up and introduce yourself.

    TRR/Tunguska/CJ
    TRR/CJ/Tunguska

    Just for my love of Detroit and to soothe the TRR ego. Best of luck all!

    Less than 24 hours to go !

    Calling all the shrewd punters who have waited until last minute to judge the current form before betting :D

    For those running tomorrow. Thanks again ! Is there anyone bar TRR who feels they could win this ?

    Very best of luck to all the runners and punters tomorrow:D
    I had hoped to study the form and come up with some amazing insightful betting but yet again the week seems to have disappeared so can I please have a lucky dip PM? And choose well because the Stews are happy to deposit any winnings in the pot.

    *I'm in the form of my life and raring to go for tomorrow:D


    *not exactly true but who knows what could happen tomorrow?;)

    Ok, donation finally made and some random bets are as follows. I think this is how many I can make - tell me if I'm wrong!!

    TRR
    Tunguska
    MKDTH

    Pacing Mule
    Meno
    Mathastew

    TJ

    Side bets: TbL to beat Meno and Yaboya to beat the other two lads.

    Please and thank you :) I actually gave up on trying to keep track of everyone's handicap and what their PB's are, and their current form :confused: I've gone with a bit of a mixed bag with no logic at all!! :pac:
