Folk who buy a house near a football ground and then complain about you wanting to park your car outside their house on match days.....they even put wheelie bins out to prevent this in some instances; like they own the f'ing road!
It's a bit like buying a home near an airport/flight path and then complaing about the noise after you've moved in.
Strange logic some folk.

    I say if they want to park their car outside on a matchday, let them. Not taking into account the minority that might do deliberate damage, Having thousands of people brushing past it every matchday with their coat buckles/zips/buttons and walking into the wing mirrors will soon change their mind.

    I agree that I find it strange they choose to live there also. I love going to football, but apart from the one obvious reason of convenience, I certainly wouldn't want to live in Floyd road. Besides, it's a dump. ;-)

    tf....... I'm not really talking about streets like Floyd Road etc which are right on top of the ground....you can't park there on match days anyway.
    No, I'm talking about the roads the other side of Church Lane for example where it's quite a problem at times. I assume it also happens in the streets all around The Valley.
    This is not just an issue at The Valley of course but occurs at many a stadium......Fulham being a particularly bad example if my memory serves me right.

    Same argument but just to a lesser extent than those people who buy a house near an airport then complain about aircraft noise.

    As I mentioned in my original post Shooters.

    It really annoys me when people think they own the bit of street outside their house. We get it in our local paper all the time - people complaining about people parking outside their houses for the station/hospital/airport/kebab shop etc etc. It's even worse because a lot of the people complaining have their own driveways, so it doesn't affect them anyway!

    Not only that, what about the morons that buy near an airport and then complain about the noise from overhead planes!
  • RizzoRizzo
    Most annoying thing for me is the arseholes who park their cars in the area allocated to disabled parking in Lansdown Mews. The club owns the land and kindly lets them park there during the week but they are expected to move on match days. The club needs to hire a tow truck and take the buggers away. They'll soon stop.

    Or people who move to the country and moan about cocks crowing?

    Thats all very well, but no one has mentioned people who buy their houses under the flight path of major airports and moan like hell!

    Paid a lower price for their house as it's near a football ground and then complain that they get football traffic.

    Bit like people complaining about nearby airports.

    Park outside the Totty Chemists is your best bet Soundas

    Exactly - they're like people who buy a house near a football ground, then complain they can't park!

    Great thread.

    I'm in the mood for a good moan, but haven't got anything to moan about.
    It's just not right on a Monday, is it?
  • AddictedAddicted
    I'll tell you whats 'just not right' on a Monday Oggy, the noise of the aircraft over my house

    Had a row with a local about this when I moved his bins. He got quite angry, so I used my (not supposed to be) front-facing headlamp sprays to cool him down. It didn't work, as it happens. Made him even hotter under the collar!

    P.S. Not that this has anything to do with anything on this thread, but I live about 1.5 miles from Gatwick Airport, and I am not remotely impressed by the noise of the planes as the cue themselves up for take off!

    Has anyone ever thought that perhaps, a friend/relative was coming round in a few minutes ?
    Perhaps, one of the household had popped out in the car & was due back shortly ?
    I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to park half a mile away from my house and then try and walk home with a load of bags of shopping. I used to get peed off, where I lived previously & had to park in my road, but about 20 yards away.

    I know what you guys are saying & I don't disagree, but there are 2 sides.
  • MrOneLungMrOneLung
    I bought an airplane and I am not impressed with all those bloody houses spoiling the view as I come into Heathrow.

    Bit like Bryan Adams who moved next door to a pub, and then bought it and shut it as too noisy for him - 18 till I die - yeah.

    it's the selfish fuckers that moan about me parking my helicopter in their drive when im going to the valley that really piss me off!
  • daveaddickdaveaddick
    Couldn't agree more Soundas a while ago I parked in Sherrington Road when i got back to my car some idiot had parallel parked next to me so I couldn't get out it took me 20 minutes to find out where the pratt lived and then he gave me a hard time about parking outside his house. I pointed out to him that it was actually public highway and not his parking space and in fact it was him who was breaking the law. You see it all the time on the roads leading up to Charlton Road cars parked in the road casuing a dangerous obstruction. What really gets me is that if I see why don't the f*****g police and do something about it.

    But what about this tho. Arsenal at home few years back a cheeky wanker parked it's huge big four by four thing on my shared drive on lansdowne lane. On my bloody drive.

    Wanted to leave the game early so I could welcome them on their return to their car. But couldnt be bothered to walk uphill and went straight downhill instead.

    Really bloody annoyed me. Bet it was an arsenal fan.

    Maybe whoever you shared your drive with had done a deal? Did you ask them?

    Frustrating as that might be for the locals, the point is moot - it's a public highway and I pay a ridiculous amount of money to use it. If there's a space, it's fair game. Living next to a football ground means having to deal with that on match day.

    All sorts of fates would befall a 4x4 should it appear in my driveway, however. That's something else entirely!
  • creepyaddickcreepyaddick
    We moved to Crawley years ago but the noise pollution from all the planes at Gatwick is just getting ridiculous now
  • DRFDRF
    A lot of houses near football grounds are council houses and therefore pepl ehave little say about their location.
  • Curb_ItCurb_It
    Course I ruddy asked them. Only two others. We were all annoyed.

    No nails no sadly.
