NO PARKING

Motorists targeted by parking vigilante receive X-rated warning ticket

MOTORISTS targeted by a parking vigilante have received X-rated warning tickets.

Drivers who parked their cars near Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol, were left in shock when they returned to their cars to discover they'd received a rather insulting parking ticket.

The stickers, which are sold online, appear from a distance to be standard parking fines, but they actually include some rather harsh language.

The fake parking ticket reads: “You’ve parked like a c*** - do not do it again. Warning. The person who ‘parked’ this vehicle doesn’t give a s*** about other people, the selfish b*****d."

The stickers were placed on cars an hour before the Bristol City vs Middlesbrough Championship match at teatime on Easter Monday.

Locals are furious because there's still no agreement between Ashton Gate and Bristol City Council over who should pay for any kind of matchday parking scheme.

This would see residents given temporary permits in certain streets for hours on either side of a home rugby or football match at the stadium.

When the stadium was redeveloped in the mid-2010s, there was a condition that Bristol Sport would set up and pay for a matchday parking scheme, on two conditions - if Bristol City were promoted to the Premier League, or if three games out of any consecutive five saw crowds of more than 25,000.

That almost happened with Bristol City’s run to the League Cup semi-final in the winter of 2017-18, but neither trigger has looked likely to happen since, and the Covid pandemic banishing crowds for a full season saw a pause to the calls.
