Tyre Slashed at Eldred Avenue

[BensGrandad]

Surely it's just the lazy gits who park near the ground. I'd have thought a brisk mile walk would do most of you the world of good.

A lot of older fans although not registered as disabled find great difficulty in walking sucha distance.

It is an old stupid rstriction that we had to agree to in order to play at Withdean as we had no option but should now be relaxed as it is only for about 3 - 4 hours on a Saturday. What do residents near the other 95 club grounds do, absolutley ridiculous..

I am staying out of this one!

Is totally the wrong answer. Assuming he has paid his road tax, has MOT and is insured he is entitled to park wherever the f*** he wants within the law.

Which is the correct answer.

Because there's a function in a neighbourhood, doesn't suddenly adjust the highway code.

 

[Gritt23]

Yes correct was in a hurry!

It was probably worth it though eh? Great performance, I think the 4-5-1 formation is really working well at the moment, and isn't as negative as it may appear on paper, because we have the genuine wide men pushing on and getting behind them. The 3 in the middle of the park played superbly, so nice to finally see what Navarro was brought here for, because his performances up until now haven't inspired me with any confidence whatsoever.

Dicker was rightfully MOM, although there were plenty of excellent candidates for once. Lua Lua, especially in the first half was just mesmerising their right back, who simply didn't know how to even begin to stop him. Elphick also had a very strong game at the back, and of course opened the scoring, while El-Abd .... I said it after Charlton, and I'll say it again ..... really DOES show that sometimes that he can be a very good centre half.

So, what was your take on the game?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

I'll say it again slowly.

Pschoderek LIVES at 82 Eldred Avenue.

Message ends.

So, he slashed his OWN tyres?
Then he joined NSC and told us all to be aware

I'm lost now ...

NURSE !

True, but police often impose No Parking restrictions on roads close to events which I believe is done in cahoots with local council & magistrates - thus creating a temporary change to the law.

 

[BensGrandad]

If that happens then you cant park there but the Police dont put no parking signs around Withdean only on certain roads. So parking is legally permitted but against our use of the stadium. A condition that I think should be changed or relaxed.

Fair enough.

taxi for derek!!

 

[NMH]

Derek mentioned to me before the match that he'd got bitched at by a local resident, so no, he's not a resident trying to warn people off parking.

 

[Springal]

I got "told" off by a resident yesterday for parking in a similar area, just ignored them. Yea we shouldn't but blablabla, wouldn't go otherwise! Mostbi have had is notes advising me that a photograph has been taken and send to the police and council, car is not registered or associated to the club and I don't wear colours so I am not "harming" the club in anyway.

 

[pork pie]

Not sure where that is but if you go down to the bottom of the lane from Withdean Road people are now taking the piss with parking.

Good for them! They pay their road tax - why not park on the public highway? We always used to park in the park and ride car park next to the ground or along by the chinky when we drove there.

I don't know about this, people are going to have to ge used to park and rides, etc. for falmer.

 

[Deleted User X18H]

The thing is the rule is there but not to be broken.If the residents parking zone extended to that of Withdean/Westdene no one would park there on matchdays. However there is a deterrent whereby abiding by the rules allows the club to play at Withdean until May 2011. People used to park near me and walk to the ground via station road nothing wrong in that but since residents parking restrictions which dictate you must pay too park in what is now zone a I fear these people may now be parking where they perhaps shouldn't.

 

[The Oldman]

Just what I was thinking. What will these folk do when we get to Falmer if they cannot park within a few hundred yards of the Stadium? It's not as if now the P & R delay you much getting home. Last night I was back home in Seaford by 5.45 and I stayed to applaud the players off the pitch. If I had parked my car in Eldred Avenue I would have been waiting in the queue to get onto London Road, which I see every match from the P & R bus on it's way to Mithras House.

I dont like park and ride. As a causal fan then for the average game I will pay to park at the university or southern water until the club build a car park opposite the new ground, as they might do one day. If I cant then I wont go. For a big game I might use the train.

 

[BensGrandad]

I noticed that Dougdeep saw fit to add a few words that are totally inaccurate without knowing anything about my physical sondaition or otherwise.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Here comes the torrent of abuse but why are there so many posters on here who:

If told they can't run on the pitch at the end of a match, insist they will run on?
If told of a parking restriction, insist on parking there?
If told it's a seated area, insist on standing?

Some sympathy with your view, and I park outside the restrictions, its only a 5/10 minute walk and as Im fit to do the walk, then its no bother.
As for not standing then I dont agree. Football should be run for us punters, and people want to and so should be allowed to in certain areas of the ground. At Falmer the new north stand and maybe the new east stand to. Then there is a choice.

Spot on - I've walked from Withdean through Westdene to the park and ride with a 6 year old and carrying a 3 year old - it's hardly far and if you can't walk it then catch the bloody bus !
