Gooner (The Midnight Runner) May 2010 12:52am, 3 May 2010 3,237 posts	0 Gooner (The Midnight Runner) As my OH is on dodgy shifts this week it's unlikely I'll be able to be up until about 4:45am to try and enter this year, as I've always entered as soon as it's opened before I am wondering if we think the ballot will have filled up in those few hours and I need to get no sleep?

Battlecat May 2010 12:59pm, 3 May 2010 1,163 posts	0 Battlecat I think it opens at midnight tonight. I doubt it will fill up in one day. The last couple of years have been a bit mental because they opened the day of the race and all the armchair athletes entered. This year, the ones that aren't that bothered about it will have forgotten by now.
Battlecat May 2010 1:00pm, 3 May 2010 1,164 posts	0 Battlecat Does anyone know what the deal is with the ballot and applying for a GFA place? Can I enter the ballot and then if I run a GFA can I apply for a place that way instead?

Hemel Runner May 2010 2:35pm, 3 May 2010 64 posts	0 Hemel Runner I'll have a crack at midnight. If no luck I'll try again tomorrow morning when I get up for work. Cab't stay up much later than midnight. I need my beauty sleep.
Yorkshire Pie (YP1) May 2010 2:37pm, 3 May 2010 7,061 posts	0 Yorkshire Pie (YP1) Battlecat - yes, I did that a couple of years ago. I just sent them an email to ask them to withdraw me from the ballot. They then took payment from my card as well as cashing my cheque sigh but they did refund it.
