Gate locked on ginnel to The Townley

Them.gates just need padlocking open. Residents wont be able to put on their padlocks then.

My mate told me there was a sign on it saying “locked for the benefit of residents” or similar tripe.

Move to Stretford if you don’t like it

Which, a bit like “trespassers will be prosecuted” sounds official but means absolutely fuck all.

If that path has been used on a daily basis since the stadium opened surely that constitutes a right of way?
‘To establish that a way has become a right of way by means of presumed dedication it is necessary to show firstly that there has been uninterrupted use as of right by the public (not necessarily the same people all the time) over a period of 20 years.’

The stadium was opened for the Commonwealth Games in 2002. 2024-2002 = 22
Just my two ‘pennorth.

‘Obstructing a public right of way is a criminal offence’

Wooo, look at you Ally McBeal

Wooo, look at you Ally McBeal

When I was travelling on the Eccles coach (when I could walk distances) that was the route I used to take so if I ever get back to walking distances I want to travel that path so I used Mr Google. ;-) :-)

Anyone who passes by when it’s open, just gorilla glue the slider open. Problem solved.

Or glue it when they’re locked, when the fuckin Herbert comes to unlock it they’ll then realise what an inconvenience it is

Received a DM back off the local councillor Alan good :
Hi James, thank you for raising this. I've had a few other visitors and residents raise this with me.

I'll look into this and try to see what's going on before the Luton match on the 13th.

Hopefully he can sort it

I park on the street just on the other side of the gates every game as i have a disabled badge. It is the residents that put the padlocks on. I have watched them do it. The gate on the next street down (facing new city store) is locked and unlocked by the same resident every game. I've thought about getting a padlock myself and putting it on the gate when it is open, so he can't fit his own padlock. This could easily be done to all gates, they can't fit their own padlocks then. It seems the residents have taken it upen themselves to decide the gates, pathways and streets can't be used on match days

Probably a southerner that’s moved up north and doesn’t like the public passing his house. Bit like the lady opposite Night & Day complaining about the noise

I reckon it's a resisident rag whose done it

Why come all the way from the Home Counties to lock a gate on a City matchday? Mind, there's thousands of Rags peevish enough to do it, and after 90+11 at The Bridge last night there'd be a fair number checking times on Avanti West Coast!
