I ran Hastings marathon on Sunday - celebrating 100 years since the first Hastings marathon (not quite old enough to remember it 
) As it was the 100 year anniversary they asked as many people to wear attire from that period.
Well, of course Wolves won the FA Cup in 1908, so I duly wore the Cup Final shirt when running. ;D
I had so many people coming up to me and after finding out what the shirt was, they were wishing Wolves good luck for the rest of the season and saying that they love the way MM has got Wolves playing exciting football. It really surprised me! Even 200miles away from Wolverhampton so many people have respect for our club, I don't think that it is any coincidence that most of them were of an "older" generation.
It was a gruelling marathon, very hilly and miles 22-23.5 were run on the pebbled beach, but all the well wishers and shouts of "go on wolf/wolves" was an inspiration. But for the two people who shouted "Is that a Hull shirt?"
Lets hope that the season starting in 2008 can go on to be even more successful than 100 years ago. Hopefully a good cup run would be the icing on the cake.
