Stu Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 .............expect a Paisley Depress exclusive on the bright lights of Allanton , sometime next week .

kpj Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I’ve been invited along to the home of a man who claims the floodlights are so bright that he can read his newspaper at night with his own lights out. What the f**k is the old dick moaning about then, we're saving him a fortune on his leccy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Mc Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Coucillor Jim Sharkey on the floodlights: “I walked round the corner one night and was literally blinded by them" If that's true.

HSS Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't recall any public meetings when HSS stayed in the area, he was guilty of everything listed and more......................... Much,much more. I left the area before the public meeting was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seaside Nipper Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 You mean like this? http://www.paisleyda...87085-24686978/ funnily enough , yes indeedee I see residents will be benefitting on their leckie bills then if SMFC are providing gratis reading light of an evening. Seriously though, the lighting imo wants managing. I would be pissed off if that was shining into my kids rooms , or mine for that matter. A PIR wrongly sited is a pisser , that must be the same. Otherwise though, its the classic nimby stuff. In all honesty there are far more serious issues in the world than the perception of negative house prices caused by the upgrade and use of a previously derelict piece of ground. I wonder how many kids from RALSTON PRIMARY SCHOOL will benefit from using this facility over the coming years. Aherm quite. No doubt the journo that penned that piece will be crediting B&Wa for their contribution. Apart from the Sharkey comment its lifted from this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Malcolm Construction Services have made a cnut of not only the siting of the Floodlights at the Pavillion End of the Pitch, But it looks as if they have made the artificial Pitch to Small.

buddienixon Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 My brother lives in Allanton Avenue, he's in his early 40s so most certainly not a grumpy old f**ker and most certainly not a "snob" either. He's a also a Saints STH. His, and from what he says his neighbours' main complaint is the floodlights being left on until 9:30 at night, sometimes later. My brother has three young children, his mate in Bathgo much the same and the disruption to them caused by the lights is the main gripe. B&Q, black out blind, £10, job done.
