|
|
By:
dunno on that stu
|

By:
That's an odd one, even though I backed him at much bigger figures (around 200)

Just so as not to aftertime, I laid off most of his green at shorter...

Some Olynmpic stats from AI
59% of the UK population watched 15 minutes or more of the Paris Olympics . so what's that likely to be 95% of the SPOTY audience? The most watched event of the 2024 Olympics was the 800m final which Keely won (An English Rose against a field of ethnic runners) with 9.1m viewers The most followed Olympic sport in the UK is athletics with 32% of the UK population |

Littler is the biggest story of the year 2024
2023 Mary Earps was the biggest story of the year 2022 Beth Mead was the biggest story of the year 2021 Emma Raducanu was the biggest story of the year Keely who ????????????? |
|
By:
Root has shortened thanks to the telegraph poll. I actually posted it here lol .
|
|
By:
I had to google Keely when it was first announced she was on the shortlist. I don't imagine I am the only one.
Lost count of the times ive seen this, or that Keely girl, or the woman runner who a race. Bodes well and motivation high |
|
By:
The best female 800m runner in the world or a young lard arse who lost a final nearly a year ago?
Prices are still barmy. Hope it's a consolation to Littler backers when he picks up the award for YSPOTY. |

Silver at the 2021 Olympics as a 19yo and silver at the last two World Championships. A strong back catalogue and unbeaten all year, (I think without checking) including the European Championship that most if not all of our top athletes skipped. Well respected and loved within UK athletics.

The price - His story - Where he's come from
All very much plays into Littler hands - Underdog - Which the British Public absolutely love |
|
By:
and yet people still don't know who she is.............
 |
|
By:
Littler couldn't get on the List according to you
|
|
By:
Fair play though, you've come up with something about Keely stu didn't all year
|
|
By:
Root might be shorter price than Littler way market is going

When Joe public want to turn up they do it in style |

Emma had a nice little run at wimbledon and became darling of centre court
I even suggested her for spoty at that point, long before she won in usa. That's what the award is about, as well as winning stuff. The lottery funding has made us so much better at sport that simply winning isn't always enough, and non winners like wyatt earp last year can be competitive with a good story. I do think ladies athletics gold medals are a bit special so we have a good race and Joe root setting records would normally give him a shot. It matters not that he lost his world no1 batting spot to Harry Brook, but make a note of Harry. Then we have possibly best footballer on planet who's unlikely to make top 4 of 6. Hey ho, best spoty year in ages. |

Did someone mention that Littler isn't even the best darts player called Luke?
|

Kelly ain't best 800m runner called Kelly

The athletic vote has dropped off a cliff, its been a very long time since it had any strength.

Like sitting watching a tumble dryer this thread
Army, get out and campaign |

Constantly messaging pubs on facebook brushy

Just started doing the county dart team pages now

It's about being the face of the Olympics more than an athletics vote per se
Farah and Peacock both top 3 in a non Olympic year, although imo Froome would have walked it that year had it non been for the drug cheat accusations the week before the vote. |

By:
already had a load of landlords say there gonna flick over the TV so the pub can vote when the adverts come on during the world championship

Iirc the market couldn't get him past 5.0 long before any drug talk. Absolute free munney

This market is dictated by dirty old pervs
The high street is dictated by this market  |

By:
When the dirty old pervs get it wrong, like they already have once...Joe public cleans up every where
|
|
By:
Its been 12 years since athletics had a decent turnout, lots of the core vote has sadly moved on - hence the rapid decline
|
|
By:
The dirty old pervs have not caught up with that decline

Have you Littler backers taken me down the garden path ? 500 posts declaring he would be 1.01 once nominated….Have I wasted my hard earned cash covering my beautiful Keely
 |
|
By:
I'm sure you'd covered keely many times before, not even bothered wiping up afterwards
