Oh Louie louie Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Thats not raynes road is it? One ends the city gates and the others Raleigh road, also I have my doubts about Emma, debbie peter and mark, imagantive names, if he would have chucked a Tarquin in from North Street, it would have been more accurate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 I can't lie, this Emma character sounds like a massive busybody to me, she could check easy if there's a game on, before she goes shopping on Sunday lunchtime, you would think she may have noticed the amount of people and traffic in bemmy, its pretty hard to miss, she would notice that by the end of her street, most would turn around, then gossiping with a stranger about a neighbour earning a tenner for parking, I hope this blokes not building a extension, Jesus she would have a Field day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 It would have been my dream to live near AG as a child, now I am an oldie - not so much! If I did live nearby I would have thought a positive would be having a job at the stadium? Has anyone on OTIB ever done that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviestevieneville Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 Decent article , although I don’t see how they moan about parking when it’s parking permits everywhere . does anyone know when the next phase of building is due to start ? Wikes etc obviously have a lease on those buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'm picturing the scene he and the lady who was in the unnamed street in bemmy in a doorway had quite a chat, didn't they, as you do with strangers outside your house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My niece works there and TBH the sub-contracting company that employs her are not the best: very demanding and skirting employment law when it comes to breaks etc. A job's a job, but I don't think it thrills her, as a City fan, to have to deal with some of the unpleasant drunks among our supporters that she has to encounter.

I was hoping they would offer me £100k pa to walk out at HT and FT to tend the pitch with a fork. Maybe that is unrealistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 There has been a load of these articles on newsfeeds etc at the moment. In recent days I've had Luton, Wimbledon, QPR and Fulham pop up on mine showing local residents living nearby. Close season for sport jurnos I expect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
