The ONLY place I take my stickers off my car is Leigh.

its hardly the same thing is it?

they might nick a sat nav or mobile for gain

what gain is there from vandalising a car because it displays an away flag????
gratuitous mindless vandalism and nothing else.......dont mix it up with theft.

you'd have "to be assed" going to a game for that.

Well that would be the common sense thing to do. Next time I go to Salford I might bang loads of Leeds Utd stuff in my car then park it up in one of the streets near the ground. Then when it gets damaged I'll moan on here.



......and I rarely hear about cars being vandalised at Leeds so what exactly is your point?

Congratulations on attending your first game for 2 years last night.

Wouldnt the Leeds fans have been in the ground at the time..

The damage could have been caused by anyone.

Secure parking for all away fans ..get real love.

im babbling on about the likes of you who think its the victims fault, when its clearly the fault of some mindless idiots from leeds.

dont even try to defend em by blaming the victims, whether it be leeds, salford, wigan or anywhere else.

and the main diference between wigan and leeeds and salford is that we have secure parking areas for away fans......summat leeds probably dont care about.
after all...this is the same leeds who prefer to pack in home fans at the expense of disabled away fans is it not?

seems to me leeds dont give a flying about away fans, as long as they can rake in the money.

How do you know it wasnt students from outside of Leeds?



Where am I defending them? I've said a modicum of common sense wouldnt go amiss. The opening poster actually blames Leeds fans on the Leeds board.



Fat lot of good it does if cars are still being damaged.



Tell me which clubs have secure parking for EVERY away fan attending.



What are you babbling on about now?



Oh dear. You've really lost it now.

rare occasion my 60hr week permitted

now leave the poor lady alone and get back to trolling on the leeds board.

I think it's you who needs to get a grip. You appear to be in a seething rage.

I'll repeat again, the opening poster blames Leeds fans on the Leeds board.




Really? So when there is a capacity crowd there is room for EVERY car if each fan came in a car on their own?



Ah right, so we are dragging up events from a couple of years ago now are we? Issues that have since been fixed.

1. wrong...im calmer than a duckpond mate
2. dont be ridiculous
3. im pointing out your clubs general attitude to away fans given its track record.

finally.....take your mates advice and go troll on the leeds board.

Answer the question.

The correct answer to the OP questions have already been posted on the identical thread on southstander.com.

Fact is that you parked on a public street and suffered criminal damage as did someone else, you should have reported it to the police when you returned to your car although in the area that you parked I've no doubt that they would have pointed to the police signs attached to most of the lamp posts there advising drivers that car thieves operate on those streets and to remove all valuables on display (have a look next time, they are everywhere, the signs that is)

The population all around the vicinity of the ground is a transient one, its studentsville on a grand scale, there are probably more students in Leeds than the total population of Wigan, and in Headingley there are very few genuine "residents" at all - this is not to say that students are the criminals, they are not, its just that they feel no allegience to the area, they have no history to the area and little pride in it, even if they saw someone committing criminal damage they probably wouldn't be ar$ed reporting it as I would (for instance) if I saw something similar outside of my house in my district.

Thats the hard fact, its a shame, but there it is, call it modern society of you like but if you leave something on show in or on yoru car that makes it stand out from the crowd then there is a chance that it will be vandalised or stolen, you lost the lottery last night.

Don't feel too bad though, the same thing happened to me (broken drivers window) when I left a carphone (as they were then) on display inside my car for a Challenge Cup semi-final at Central Park against Widnes in the early 90's- a very nice local bobby tried to persuade me not to file a report as the lads around there "weren't a bad lot, just bored", he may have been right.

So two cars get damaged an all of sudden Leeds have a major problem and need to provide secure parking at games? Get real! People take their choice as where to park their cars when they go to games, yes there is always the chance damage will occur but that is always a chance when you park your car anywhere - so places it will of course be more at risk, park on a street and the risk increases.

The only time I have ever had problems with damage to my car driving to a game is when I parked in the official car park at Hudds so don't assume because a club provides car parking facilities your car is all of a sudden going to be secure.
