jangles Oct 2018 7:15pm, 3 Oct 2018 3,137 posts	0 jangles It's the only entry there..
Southcoastpete Oct 2018 7:36pm, 3 Oct 2018 5,695 posts	0 Southcoastpete Another one who is waiting. Last time I got is was 2011, so it's been rejected all the way since. So have a growing collection on VLM reject clothing. Kind of thinking if I will bother again if it's another "Sorry" mag that goes straight into the recycling bin. I seem to be able to coupe with the rejection though ,as it doesn't stop me doing the same for New York.....

Whatever I use the result is the same. It makes no sense for you to see a different result depending on what device you’re using.
SODIron © 2012 Oct 2018 10:31pm, 3 Oct 2018 91 posts	0 SODIron © 2012 @Jangles - are you sure you’re looking at the 2019 ballot entry? Can you post a screen shot, it will show the date.
Tim of MK Oct 2018 10:41pm, 3 Oct 2018 2,295 posts	0 Tim of MK Entered the ballot in 2007 and was successful (first time). Haven't entered since until the 2019 ballot. Genuinely can't remember why I put my name in the hat this time (the evils of drink?), as I think that London is one huge 'circus'. There are so many better marathons out there.
larkim Oct 2018 8:39am, 5 Oct 2018 5,728 posts	0 larkim Would today be a decent day to try to get a suitable Premier Inn on free cancellation booked? If so, where would you be looking - closer to the start, or closer to the finish?
SODIron © 2012 Oct 2018 8:41am, 5 Oct 2018 94 posts	0 SODIron © 2012 If you're on an overnight stop, I would travel light, stop near the start so you can put all your belongings in the baggage trucks. That way you'll have a short and easy journey to the start in the morning, then you'll have all you need when you finish.

swittle Oct 2018 11:48am, 5 Oct 2018 50,622 posts	0 swittle larkim, bear in mind you've to visit the Expo to get your no. and be 'merchandised'! Tube & DLR are well practised in getting folk around before & on event day.
Roberto Oct 2018 3:06pm, 5 Oct 2018 525 posts	0 Roberto Think this will possibly be my 12 attempt at entering. Only year I got a place was from my club and I had to defer and then foolishly didn’t sign up in time (as I ignored the emails as spam) so didn’t actually get my deferred place. I’m not hopeful. I’m also not too bothered. I hate Virgin and Branson and the thought of marathon training again is a bit sickening to be honest.
