Oh Louie louie Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I can't lie, this Emma character sounds like a massive busybody to me, she could check easy if there's a game on, before she goes shopping on Sunday lunchtime, you would think she may have noticed the amount of people and traffic in bemmy, its pretty hard to miss, she would notice that by the end of her street, most would turn around, then gossiping with a stranger about a neighbour earning a tenner for parking, I hope this blokes not building a extension, Jesus she would have a Field day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Not being funny, but it's not like AG was a secret project, that popped up overnight. You live near a football stadium, it's going to get a bit chaotic on matchdays, particularly if there's no parking control (which there should be, fair enough). As for cars vs public transport - Bristol's public transport is clearly just as shocking as I remember it back in the day. I can't believe I'm thinking of moving back...

Howdy neighbour. Yeah, I remember the ‘25k attendance three games in a row’ thing. Didn’t we actually do that against Man U, Man C and possibly Norwich in the middle during the cup run a few years back? Think I remember the club saying it was 25k tickets sold but not 25k attending so they didn’t have to do it.

Absolutely no chance of scrapping it imo, it will just get increasingly expensive as we're seeing now. It's authoritarian, anti car, and now an increasing money raiser. so ticks all the boxes for the local council. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 I worked with someone who used to moan all through the football season because she lived near Selhurst Park when both Palace and Wimbledon were playing there meaning that cars were parked everywhere and the traffic was terrible before and after the game. She must have know that there was a football stadium nearby when she bought it; I had just assumed that anyone buying a house or flat near a football ground is doing so because they intend going to watch it and it must be great to be able to walk there in a few minutes and turn out for every youth and reserve game.
