And Pep is infallible and must be Pep says fuck em
That's pretty inspired, I must admit.We knocked on a door of a house just behind the corner shop pub and offered a tenner to park on his drive. Bargain.
Hes even getting us a pass so we can park on the roads

Yeah, its part of the extended residents parking scheme
The
There is no police service in this country. The evil, bastard Tories abolished them.The new scheme is ill conceived and badly thought out.
I agree completely
Introducing parking restrictions to combat/deter pissed up football fans or concert goers from pissing up people’s properties simple isn't going to work, the only way to stop this anti-social behaviour is with enforcement by the police.
Already replied to this, is there a reason you want me to reply again? As i said it was just to highlight some of the shit residents have to put up with, and highlight that some of us have no consideration for the people living nearby, Are you one of the people who take part in this activity is that why you seem so focused on this point?
You mention Darley Street and Havana Close area's and indeed you are correct, they are very close to the stadium, but what you fail to mention is that they both locations and the surrounding residential area are already within the existing residents parking scheme. How will extending the boundaries of residents parking scheme deter/stop private hire or any other vehicles from waiting outside properties that are already within the current scheme?
Again already replied but I will repeat again for you - the traffic wardens go down there early and dont go back later. If they are going to put restrictions in place they need to have people to enforce them. The resident want traffic wardens to be on streets closest to the stadium from 30 mins to end of game to after final whistle. If council do that then it should stop the taxis but again will just move it as they will find somewhere else to wait. There needs to be a taxi waiting area somewhere.
You seem to have me completely wrong, Parking restrictions are not the answer. All I am saying is we all seem focused on our issues as fans, we are not seeing the bigger picture. The biggest issue here is City and the Council not sorting out THE main issue - Transport away from the ground. It has been a problem since we moved in there, and it hasnt got any better in 20 years. It is the reason people leave early.
Most on here seem to be moaning they cant park a car, what we should be looking at is how do we avoid the need to park a car so close. Germany have it sorted brilliantly. I was in Athens last week, that was sorted brilliantly to get us all away from the ground. Speaking to locals its always like that, double the trams and have them ready to go every few minutes.Why cant we do it in Manchester? Sort the trams and buses out, we wont need parking expect for elderly and disabled.

We did it at maine road. On the road directly opposite the main entrance. It was brilliant.That's pretty inspired, I must admit.
Our record was leaving the george in cheadle at 2.45 and being sat in our seats for 3pm ko.
I used to live on the Fulham Broadway Road,. We were so close to Craven Cottage So much so, we knew Fulham had scored before the Fulham fans knew it. Quite close to Shepherd's Bush as well, which is where QPR play. Nice fans.Unless you lived there prior to it being built, you can’t possibly complain about living next to a football stadium.
I’m not too far from Tranmere’s Prenton Park and just check when they’re at home when I’m going to need the roads. It’s too far from the Merseyrail for significant crowds etc.

Retired?I got rid of my car a few years ago. Too many barriers to enjoying using it. Now bus, tram and trains for me and I walk more.
Thousands don't use a car to get to the Ethiad.
Sounds more like Fulham Palace Road. Chelsea FC side is Fulham Broadway.I used to live on the Fulham Broadway Road,. We were so close to Craven Cottage So much so, we knew Fulham had scored before the Fulham fans knew it. Quite close to Shepherd's Bush as well, which is where QPR play. Nice fans.
