Homeowners slam 'lazy' football fans for barricading them in

Homeowners living near a football stadium have slammed 'lazy' fans who are parking inconsiderately because 'they refuse to walk and pay for a parking ticket.' Residents are expecting another ‘nightmare’ parking issue at the weekend, when Manchester United Women host Everton.

Football supporters' cars have been pictured parked up on kerbs, on double yellow lines, and crowding corners dangerously on streets around the ground by police recently. Greater Manchester Police ticketed several vehicles that were blocking driveways and crowding pavements during the Red Devils 6-0 win over Liverpool on January 15, the MEN reports.

Now people who live in the area are calling for more action from police, complaining of being left “trapped” in their homes at weekends. Man United Women share the stadium with a local rugby league and the Man United men's youth teams.
