I've just seen this.  Outstanding!

The Manager's a nutter.  But we knew that already.

They were talking about it on Radio 2 and it's made the football front page on the BBC website.

Deliberate or not, it's all good publicity for the club and it's funny.

And if it pointed North would you maybe consider it?
I am with you though,the fact that it is painfull to run miles convinces me that we were born to walk.
That said i applaud those who do the running especially for charity.
