Sheffield Half Marathon is a shambles

[tzijlstra 11]

Wow... that is what one could call an old-fashioned ****-up.

bodes well for tour de farce

...But why book delivery for the morning and not the day before, then just stash it in a local warehouse ready for distribution.

 

... hmmm

 

maybe they did, but the delivery vans couldn't get through the road closures?

We don't even know if the council run the half marathon, it may have been shipped out to another organisation.

They have in past years, suspect the suplliers forgot to alter their clocks last week?

How far are these water stations from the nearest tap?

[solarman 10]

maybe they could knock on the nearest house?

Yep - but on the other hand...

 

... it looks like Sheffield is about to get a bit of publicity this week on all those BBC panel shows...

[maykay 10]

dont they just love to waste our money.

so it costs x amount to police, X amount to close roads, stewards, advertising etc etc etc. And some numpty cant ensure that water is in place.

Disgusted just doesnt cut it for me.

In a time when moneys tight, Glad to see that my council tax is being put to good use again.

It seems to be called the SIG Insulation half marathon, but I don't know whether SIG Insulation actually organise it or whether they just sponsor it. I'm guessing either way they might not do it next year...
