GaelicFox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 His real name is Derek Ramsbottom ..... He has changed his name used to play in a rock a billy group Derek and the Dreamers Carlos .....
yorkie1999 Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 He's lived there for 15 years and the problem only started when we moved from filbert st. 14 years ago! So, in other words, nearly the whole time he's lived there. I think he's after a free season ticket or something.
Smudge Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Silly sod has put a bullseye on his house and cars and no doubt anyone living there is going to be fearful.
Guest LCFC_World Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Let's be honest, if it was you living there and someone parked so you couldn't get your car out, you wouldn't be annoyed?
Fox92 Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 As someone who doesn't live in Leicestershire and drives in every home game, the lack of parking around the ground is ridiculous. We have a massive empty space of wasteland where the great Filbert Street stood and why can't that be converted into somesort of car park? I appreciate parking is difficult in certain Cities - I go to most of our away games and places like Liverpool and Manchester are a nightmare so end up getting trains there - but when we've a recently new ground and quite a space for a large car park I don't understand why the club don't just purchase the land. £5 a pop, we're happy and they are happy. Some away's have brilliant car parking facilities.
davieG Posted 27 September 2016 Author Posted 27 September 2016 The club should by the remains of Filbert St and build a look a like mini filbert st stadium that's really a multi story car park.
mackiepas Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 its bothered him that much its taken him 14 years to make a stand... loser
Benji Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Clearly not the smartest guy in the world - his sign is now pointless.
Callabinho Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 As the sign isn't provided by the council it isn't enforceable. I'll park right in front of the ****er.
Crinklyfox Posted 27 September 2016 Posted 27 September 2016 Parking in local streets isn't a new problem. My gran lived in Jarrom Street and if we visited her on match days at Filbert Street we had to get there early to avoid a walk, it was part of life and reflected the popularity of the club. No-one dreamed about complaining.
Localresident Posted 18 October 2016 Posted 18 October 2016 Firstly, can I say a really big thanks for all the supportive comments I received on the subject of parking/congestion since I highlighted the issue on the Parking Wars documentary and consequently in the Leicester Mercury newspaper. If comments on the internet were the only thing to go by then the human race would appear to have lost the ability to communicate sensibly given the exponential increase in available computer technology. There were the inevitable (anonymous) comments aimed at me personally but which I found quite amusing to read, luckily I can easily dismiss banter but I’ve written this article to clarify some myths delightfully misinterpreted by some (listed in order of stupidity): 1) Derr! Before we bought the property in Aylestone in 1997, the council land search had reported NO major developments in the vicinity. The old power station site on Raw Dykes Road was STILL up for sale complete with planning consent for a Morrisons supermarket. Congestion was not a problem South of Filbert Street. It was a quiet community, god damn bloody quiet. In late 1998 they decided that the Filbert Street shack was too small and there was a suggestion of it being moved but at the time the club was in no financial position to stay afloat let alone build a new pitch so the plans were abandoned and they settled for a minor upgrade. Who would be stupid enough to move into an area without checking first? (take your time to think about it). 2) FACT: The plan for a new stadium reared it’s ugly head in 2002 (long after we had moved in). The planning application was conditional upon the club providing a park and ride facility to direct traffic away from the area. However this condition was conveniently “overlooked” right up until the club changed hands, by this time the club was in administration. The original applicants washed their hands of all responsibility and the new owners were conveniently relieved of all blame. Now some have suggested that at this point a dodgy deal had taken place involving a certain city councillor, who happened to be on the planning committee ..... chew on that, get back to me when you find out. 3) Parking is NOT a problem for me and never has been! Those who read the story know we can get 3 or 4 cars in our drive. The problem is irresponsible drivers blocking access to properties, and access immediately before and after a game. One such occasion was when my daughter was ill and we needed to take her to the infirmary and it took half an hour to get through the traffic (this really happened). Far from being the moaning old twat I'm actually a good neighbour for those residents who need to park in the street. 4) Yes, a residents only parking scheme WAS discussed with the council but this entailed a charge, so most people rejected it, and I wasn’t going to pay for a space was I? (see above). 5) When Kasabian played in Victoria Park there were no parking issues, why? because the organisers paid a contractor to erect temporary "Residents Parking Only" signs at the entrance to EVERY residential street surrounding Vicky park. They also arranged for a contractor to manage the traffic. This gave me a good cause to highlight the fact that the football club doesn’t appear to give a shit (they certainly don’t reply to emails), and the council does sod-all anyway, but we know those signs were very effective. Seeing as the football club were not interested I put my sign-making experience to good use as I still have some of the machinery (yes this really happened). 6) FACT: There is a plot of land next to the stadium which has planning permission for a 600 space car park. At the time of writing I believe it has been used once, try to park there instead. 7) NO! I WILL NOT rent out my driveway. What? and become one of THEM! It goes against all my principals. So f**k off. 8) Contrary to stipulation I'm not "anti-football", I just don't follow the “great game”. I have to accept that there are people who pay fifty quid to watch it though I prefer to watch real foxes, in their natural urban habitat. Just as I follow the music scene I don't expect everyone to like what I like. The way in which the Foxes (and the Tigers for that matter) put Leicester firmly on the map: From a rickety Victorian shed on Filbert Street to the wibbly wobbly Walkers Stadium in true "rags to riches" style they went into receivership (until some rich sod bailed them out to the tune of £37m), only to become the most wealthy football empire in history to have a matching Mercedes for each star......it's rather like my own journey (only musically I'm currently still on the "rags" chapter and I drive a transit van). 9) Bradley Wiggins gags were funny the first 5 times, and that’s because I'd already thought of most of them about a year ago when he won that cycling thing. It was the inspiration behind the lyrics of my song "Lookalike Loopers" - but it’s old news to me (yawn). 10) The Leicester Mercury found it in their wisdom to include a random video of me from my early days which had been posted on Youtube by a charity at a church fundraising event. The acoustics of the church hall were less than perfect however, and basically made me sound terrible. This led to a few “drunken karaoke pub singers” questioning my vocal ability (because of course they’d know all about singing). So for the record here are my official links to the songs featured in the programme: https://unclestein.bandcamp.com/tra... https://unclestein.bandcamp.com/tra... Here are the preferred live videos to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?li... 11) Someone used the phrase “publicity stunt” on more than one occasion. That phrase is reserved for pretentious artists using their already established household name as a means to get the attention of the media whilst subtly promoting their latest album/film/book. Back to the real world now. I can tell you there are thousands of hard working musicians out there (like me) who write their own material, and most of which gets ignored. All of us deserve a big break but it’s every dog for himself out there. Forget all the bulls**t you see on X-factor. You take every opportunity you can get because no-one else is gonna do it for you. 12) Apparently due to the publicity stunt (above) I can retire from the royalties now I’m “made-up”! Network TV companies have a “legal obligation to pay royalties to the owners of any music which they broadcast, even if it is a few seconds” (well spotted, Mr P of Stonygate LE2). You are obviously confusing this with the lush fees paid out to commercial songwriters who commission music for TV (which in this case I’m not one of them). If and when there are any royalties I’ll probably be “made-up” enough to pay for the weeks shopping..........and this is why I’m not driving around in a blue Mercedes. Get it? 13) Whilst retiring from said royalties, I’m also an electronic engineer and have to go to work like the rest of you. 14) All the best and enjoy the sport, the music or whatever the thing is you do....but don’t park across my drive.

Carlos Stein XX OK Brad. In fairness mate, I'm sure most people can sympathise with the situation of people parking across driveways. It is totally inconsiderate and uncalled for. We all know parking is a nightmare. In order to bag my space, I have to go in and see my wife's elderly aunt who lives in the residents parking zone around Windermere Street. I then have to sit and chit chat, change lightbulbs, tune in the tv, help her use her mobile phone and various other tasks beyond the capability of an elderly lady in order for he to dispense me with parking permits!

Blocking people's access to their homes is completely unacceptable however the main reason you are getting more people parking in your location is the introduction of parking permits nearer to the stadium some of which were not wanted by a majority of residents that voted. Public transport was, is and always will be of little use as it's fine getting people to the match as they all arrive at different times but after it's totally incapable of dealing with large numbers all leaving at once. As for the P and R condition the club did try to get some going but could not find or agree on suitable parking locations even the council's had this problem when introducing their P and R locations with the Enderby one being in the wrong place to get people coming off J 21. Another issue is the exploitation of those providing parking space by their over top top charges with prices more than doubling for match days. I totally sympathise with your problems I suffered similarly living within walking distance of County Hall and Glenfield Hospital, when I moved their no one parked on our street but after CHRISTMAS reduced their parking spaces for employees and the GHOST introduced parking fees, even for their nurses our road was swamped with parked cars and we to got a few idiots blocking access. Other than that though we don't own the road so sadly have to put up with it and that as they say is life.
An Away Move Posted 19 October 2016 Posted 19 October 2016 I always park up on Wolverton Road. I have a Leicester sticker on my car and climbed out of my car yesterday. A local resident gave me the right eyeballs!

The stadium was completed in 2002 so it'd be pretty impressive if it was signed off in the same year. If you want to be taken seriously I'd get your facts straight at least.

My memory could be wrong, but I think I remember Birch announcing that the stadium build was approved on the night we drew with Sunderland in the Worthington Cup Semi Final (after winning the first leg at their place). Which would put it at around February 1999 time - and that was plan approval, so I assume the application must have been several months before that. EDIT : Not saying this 100% though, could be wrong.. EDIT : looks like I was wrong - maybe it was the abandoned Bede Island project he announced. "In early 1998, plans were announced for a 40,000 all-seater stadium to be built at Bede Island South in time for the 2000–01 season, but these plans were abandoned on 5 January 2000. Chairman John Elsom vowed that other options, including relocation to another site or even further redevelopment of Filbert Street, would be considered, hoping that either option would have materialised by August 2002.[6] The relocation option was soon settled upon, as plans were unveiled on 2 November 2000 for a 32,000-seat stadium at nearby Freeman's Wharf, with 2003–04 being the expected completion date, although it was suggested at the time relocation could happen at the start of the 2002–03 season.[7] Work on the stadium began in the summer of 2001, and by 10 October that year it was confirmed that the new stadium would be ready for the 2002–03 season.[8]"

And that's ringing bells actually.
davieG Posted 19 October 2016 Author Posted 19 October 2016 After the Bede Island fiasco they tried to get planning approval to turn the pitch around at that time I believe Morrisons still had planning approval for our current site which eventually lapsed and opened up for us to move their after our expansion of Filbert St was refused.
