| I think we're probably violently agreeing on this. As I said, I cannot see why the council sees fit, when a CPZ is put in place, to add a bunch of yellow lines and various other 'measures' which seem to take away parking spaces. Leave it as it is, put in something like the Zone N that has been mentioned in this thread, and, while it's not perfect, it does deter the GSK employees and those who use our roads as the station car park. It would be good, however, if there was some sort of system in place, as there is in Wembley, so that when a match was on, the surrounding roads were closed save for access - something that could be achieved by the (commendable) number of police on duty. I wholeheartedly agree - if you move to the environs of Griffin Park, then expect footie fans. I would rather, however, like Wembley, that Griffin Park was promoted as a 'public transport' venue. I've nothing against sane, ordinary people who wish to watch football and arrive on the train. The imminent home games against Charlton and Millwall however, promise something else - but that's another story. Also - and bit off topic - the times when one had to move one's car to avoid it being damaged - was that in some way acceptable? Par for the course? From where I'm standing, I'm happy to welcome football fans - after all, I live next to a football ground - I'm not (ever) happy to welcome drunken criminal lowlife. And any venue - pub, club, bar, football ground - that regularly attracts this type of person should be (and in the case of clubs, pubs and bars, is) closed down. |
