A quality piece of pushing in from the Bridge car park, yesterday.

[Stat Brother]

While stuck in the usual log jam at the Bridge car park (god I miss the uni), Mr Mercedes returned to his car.
Mr Merc had Mr BMW directly in front, with me just behind him.
Now it turns out Mr Merc was getting between us.
Bearing in mind nobody was moving, and all further movement was to be measured in inches.
Out comes the merc as close as he could get to the rear door of the BMW.
Then for every inch forward he nudged into the BMW.

At this point I do have to own the fact I wasn't helping the situation.
Clearly Mr Merc would be 'next' so I just wanted to know how far he'd take it.

To my surprise Mr Merc wanted the space so badly he ended up pushing the BMW, bumper to bumper, with enough force for it to be an 'issue', had Mr beamer been overprotective.

The icing on the cake was the fact with Mr Merc and the parking space behind now cleared, I was able to drive through the gap and get out quicker than all of them.


As there is usually something going on, I can't help thinking there's more aggression, passion, and commitment shown in that car park than on the 'terraces'.

Oh I nearly forgot:-
Ffs Sami sort it out.
Everyone would have driven straight out with Pullis in charge.

Cool story fella, I look forward to more car park stories when we loooooose to Millwall when tempers will be high no doubt.

Cool story bro

If only I'd mentioned Harty.

Sounds like what was the norm for exiting Bennett's Field. A big feck off Merc/Audi/Range Rover or Porsche SUV was the weapon of choice there though you wanted to be top push in King.

It was just so pointless.
No car was moving, but the moment all doors were shut, the merc shot forward until it was shunting the beamer.
All for a space that wasn't being generated because nobody was moving.

If only people knew how to filter, the roads would run a lot smoother.

I suggest you stick to your bicycle.

I have to say as a former Bennett's Field car Parker who has been moved to the Uni, the Uni is fantastic, out in no time. Wish we had moved there several seasons ago.

We loved the uni, there was never a problem.
I can't think how Bridge can be improved, as more exits from the car park won't go anywhere.

It would seem Mr Bennett has rather shot himself in the foot and cost himself an excessively large sum of money, by being even more excessively greedy.

I'm with you, much prefer it.

Not that I'd use it but I've yet to see the buses that were supposedly going to be available to ferry fans to and from the stadium.

Those mystical football special buses, abandoned by the club because they were a source of "complaints" and replaced with another service that you now have to book and pay for in advance.....how we miss the s bus.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Howcome they were allowing cars going back under the tunnel towards the car park when everyone was trying to get out...nearly mowing us mere pedestrians down

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Also miss the Uni car park. Bridge was okay to start and then they got stewards in to help. People were fairly polite to start with, taking it in turns to get out but now is a free for all like the car park at Bournemouth

Don't you mean:

That would make sense if the players also used the Bridge CP.
Or if 95% of the home crowd (myself included) hadn't turned the AMEX into a library.

Sorry this makes no sense whatsoever.

I was merely suggesting a lack of passion by some of the players and manager was evident. Don't think where they park or how much noise you make or don't make is relevant.

Yeah brilliant story...You should take it to the papers

You've definitely captured yesterday's major issue there. Well done you.

I originally made the point about 'terraces' instead of the easy option of players, because chances are Mr Merc had sat on his hands for 90 mins then got passionately committed to getting in the queue.
