Car vandalised

[urban genie]

looks like the scroats just target an area or car park each game. Got back to the car park last night and mine was one of 5 or 6 with windows smashed.

NCP car park outside Piccadilly station which seems to get used by a lot of blues

If it was that near to pic it won't be match related shirley?

I know there has been a spate of thefts and vandalisation on the ashton old road area leading up to town recently, some cars at work were smashed up and one robbed at a late night event in the works carpark just a week ago and other reports too, none of these on match days

whose to know?

the car park does seem to get used by a fair few fans going to the game. There was no issues parking up at 5pm on a Sunday night (after cars had been there all day) yet three hours later when returning after the game 5 or 6 cars had windows smashed

Safest car park that anyone knows of, don't mind paying a bit to know my car is safe.

I saw that.
We passed a large BMW with both side windows smashed then a little further up a Merc with a window smashed, then wondered if the ****s had just targeted ‘posh’ cars. Looks like it was mindless vandalism.

Told one of the scroats I had my Rottwieller in the car. He said " can it put out fires" ;-)

Yep I was one of the unlucky ones with a smashed window last night parked near the Bradford pub . They did the same at the Sheffield United game. Need to look for a new place to park that side of the ground.

I car share/rotate who drives with my brother-in-law and his Dad, we were also unfortunately targeted on Upper Helena Street last night (2018 Audi). We feared it'd be the case as we passed the BMW X1/X3/X5 with both windows smashed and several other 'more expensive' cars along the road, despite ourselves and a few others we spoke to saying none of us had anything of value on display.

It seemed like mindless vandalism/jealousy and less like 'lets target City fans' as (and no offence by this) we saw several less expensive vehicles with MCFC accessories that hadn't been vandalised, for instance, a small Toyota Yaris in front of us had a miniature MCFC scarf and stickers in the windows yet had not been targeted.

It's a shame, really - we've parked there for over two years now with little issues aside from the occasionally busy garage on the corner taking up the majority of the street with cars due for repair.

As others have said, maybe it's time to find a new parking spot - the cynic in me wonders if the local car parks have paid someone - I wish I had more faith in my fellow Mancunians.

Oh stop being so precious, I've got sympathy for you and anyone else who gets their car keyed whether it's a shed or a Ferrari.

I was just taking issue with the poster who claims the Evoque is ''good'' car...by any and every conceivable measure you won't find anyone who knows anything at all about cars will describe the Evoque as a ''good car''.

They're overpriced and unreliable but look quite ''flashy'' and are readily available on easy credit so are much beloved by people who value style over substance, or reliability or value for money or practicality or performance.

Not to mention it was designed by

Absolute twats, I live in Ashton and four years ago I bought a 15 years old Porsche, it cost less than the price of a used family car. In the four years I owned it the car was “keyed” three times and twice had damage to the bodywork whilst parked up, deliberate or not, no idea. I did a total of around 5k miles in the time I owned it and in the end with regret I sold the car in September. I now drive a nondescript Honda and in the four months I’ve owned it I’ve had no vandalism issues, however, I get no joy out of driving the car unlike the pleasure I had of owning the Porsche, it’s sad but the twats beat me into shit car ownership submission.

Luckily ive stopped going and if I do I get the met, scumbags wrecking cars just makes the chore of going to the etihad even worse!

I believe there is a username that alludes to that very threat. Haha

...other than getting out of there after the game?

...other than getting out of there after the game?

I wondered that too.

On a related note, I see the club have announced a new official car park (off
Ashton New Road), presumably this Saturday is the first time open.

Not to bad getting out now everybody zip merges

 

[Damo72]

Thanks for the help on this. I'll try an official car park on Saturday.

I have always walked to the stadium but in this instance I will be attending the FA cup match in a car driven by my son in law, how early should he get there to park? Is it pay on the day?

My uncle used to have a Robin Reliant when I was a nipper which we used to go to the match in but the rules may have changed since then :)
