Blame the useless council for not sorting them. There are a few places where an event will take place, the road from Parker’s to Cromhall is a TT route where you do try and beat your time, but it’s a straight road with no traffic lights so normal road laws apply to drivers. Ps - most people I know who cycle are insured I agree...they are awful to ride on. No wonder cyclists with expensive bikes avoid. I used to join the lanes by Brimsham and head out towards Cromhall. Many cyclists... unfortunately many lorries as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go through those lanes quite a bit, i will always pull in for cars as i got ploughed in to from behind once and the driver left the scene, im convinced when I’m reading some comments about cyclists that some people would have preferred i was killed as would mean one less on the road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadia one is interesting: I don’t think new has to mean bad: the Etihad is a pretty impresssive sight, and an impressive bowl too (crap facilities though!). And then there’s somewhere like the Allianz in Munich. And I’m quite looking forward to the new FGR one. Equally, there are some truly crap old ones. I don’t buy the “character” excuse for shitholes like the old Wigan or Colchester grounds. But a good proportion of the new ones are pretty characterless.

Ninian Park, The Vetch Field, even the old Ashton Gate. It was Football, proper football. Feels more like going to the Cinema nowadays, very sanitised. I went to San Siro last month and really enjoyed myself. Every bit of its identity felt Italian and in particular Milanese, I am glad they decided not to knock it down. I just think the new stadiums are destroying what the previous grounds used to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 What a bunch of miserable so and so’s What really pisses me off are the Range Rover mums doing the school run. WTF do you need to take your kids to school in a bloody tractor? People in the Lansdown eating a full size picnic during the game. Sweet and crisp paper noises (yes it is that quiet in the stand usually). Give me the dull moans and complaints of the Dolman any day People that whistle those made up tunes in a happy and cheery way. Just **** off Finally - people who Ramble. Its just a long walk - the only difference is you have a big stick. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
