September 14, 200916 yr Author The above is taken from a leaflet that my dad (who lives in Ralston) gave me. Thought it might interest a few folk - particularly as the meeting is tomorrow night. Its incredible - you buy a house next to a football pitch and then complain when they..... er, play football on it!

Good to see nothing changed in Rolston, FFS dont they know we not that scum from Greenock, I think us playing/training there might add value to there little corner of Paisley, as for balls getting kicked over fence either kick em back or keep em

September 14, 200916 yr Cavalier Use of Herbicide....................... So the groundsman's a Royalist................................... So's most of Ralston, Tory voting Butty Boys....................... Edited September 14, 200916 yr by The Sandman
September 14, 200916 yr Cavalier Use of Herbicide.......................So the groundsman's a Royalist................................... So's most of Ralston, Tory voting Butty Boys....................... If by 'herbicide' they mean weedkiller and by 'cavalier' they mean lots, what does it matter to them unless , of course we going to do there lawns as well what a nonscense over nothing
September 14, 200916 yr Author So the groundsman's a Royalist...................................So's most of Ralston, Tory voting Butty Boys....................... They've actually got a Lib Dem councillor.
September 14, 200916 yr It is in our power to cut down swearing and we should do all we can to make sure there is as little of it as possible. It is no joke living within hearing distance of a football pitch....and imagine that every morning. But. still.....stuff their action group! Edited September 14, 200916 yr by farmer john
September 14, 200916 yr Interesting crib-sheet of things you've probably never ever thought about objecting to, there. Looks like somebody looking to stir the shite where there is probably none. I mean, it's a training pitch, not a full-scale recreation of Glastonbury. Talk about NIMBYs. Foul language What the actual fuck?
September 14, 200916 yr Car ParkingErection / Installtion of Water Tank Floodlights Foul Language Industrial Use of Playing Fields Loss of Privacy Valuation of House Cavalier Use of Herbicide Excess Traffic Football being kicked over fence Generator Loss of Amenity Noise A list of 13 potential concerns when in fact they only have one single concern. Conveniently placed smack in the middle of the list to make it appear of no more significance than any of the others. How transparent !! Don't you just love "Industrial Use of Playing Fields" being given more prominence in the list than "Valuation of House".
September 14, 200916 yr Author I don't get the "valuation of house" bit. The football pitches have been there for at least 30 years. Why has it not been a concern before? The floolights have always been there. I think the problem is that they have become used to the facility being unused and that its being used they are up in arms! Why buy a house next to a football pitch if you don't want to live next door to a football pitch?
September 14, 200916 yr They are a bit late with their pish. They should have got themselves organised a bit better when it was in the planning stage. In five years time most of them will be dead anyway. Crinkled old cadavers. Edited September 14, 200916 yr by Reynard
September 14, 200916 yr They've actually got a Lib Dem councillor. That's how they pay back cow Th*tch*r after she saved The Paisley Grammar and William 'Buttmonkey' Barbour Academy, shoddy.............................

Why buy a house next to a football pitch if you don't want to live next door to a football pitch? I believe the Ralstonian dweller type will be concerned about the rather artisan , not to say agricultural language of the participants using the facility. I can see the concern of their double glazing units not eliminating all the callous vocabulary. Or imagine having a barbee , quoffing some Sauv Blanc and all you can hear is the grunt and swear from the training ground. Now I believe they are also concerned about the coothy youth that will descend on Ralston to watch the players training. Can you imagine the grief associated with all these sooped up Novas being double parked. Next they'll be Ice Cream vans and Burger dispensers calling out to all and sundry. I mean that will put a right downer on a traditional end semi I can just hear Susan the Jogger now
September 14, 200916 yr I don't recall any public meetings when HSS stayed in the area, he was guilty of everything listed and more.........................
September 14, 200916 yr Is no one listening to your complaint?If you want to air your views, why not join other concerned residents Ralston Community Centre Tuesday, 15th September 2009 from 7.30pm i live in the west end, just off Maxwelton, but i think i might go... after all, i'd like to 'air my views' about this pish. bunch of moaning n'erdowells!!! Probably most of them can be found along the road at Ibr*x on any given sat afternoon! Shameful!
September 14, 200916 yr on a serious note, we should try and be good neighbours. I'm sure the club will listen to their concerns. The only thing sure to get them even angrier will be to listen, smile and try to ameliorate their concerns. On the other hand, have the "activists" actually approached the club? I cant believe they wouldnt get a sympathetic hearing. The list looks like an extract from the daily mail book on how to be outraged at absolutely everything. Write down 2 genuine concerns then flesh your list out with another 20 that "could" happen. On the plus side, perhaps we'll be treated to the delightful company of "jogging susan" on here once more I'm dying to find out what constitutes "industrial use of playing fields" Edited September 14, 200916 yr by spirit of 77

September 14, 200916 yr They are a bit late with their pish. They should have got themselves organised a bit better when it was in the planning stage. In five years time most of them will be dead anyway. Crinkled old cadavers. now it's open, the only way they can affect the running is to bombard the polis with complaints and also try to beef up spurious allegations that the planning consents are being abused. I hate these cocks who think because they have a desk job they have the ability to influence absolutely everything, perhaps their biggest loss is that they have to clean their labradoodles shit off the pavement now that they lost their unofficiel doggyloo.

September 14, 200916 yr Burning Gus at the gas-fired stake? They have a valid complaint if we do that, we dont have an entertainment license. Edited September 14, 200916 yr by spirit of 77
September 14, 200916 yr Have they got nothing better to do the boring stuck up twats Thats terrible ya wee Feg

That'll be the tomato crop gubbed again then. If SG attends this meeting and offers a few comply tickets the good citizens of village Ralston will gleefully snap them up , job done. It's all just inverted snobbery. Folk wanting something for nothing , the complaining and suing mentality , the me me me strikes again. If they really had a few quid about them they wouldn't be lording it up in Spam Valley, foaming at the gash about a public meeting. This is like those gentlefolk ( aye right ) who book the cheapest of holidays then spend all the time complaining. Its actually quite petty and bitter. I'm sure as well a lot of the jumped up Penilee brigade are Rangers fans anyway
September 14, 200916 yr They have a valid complaint if we do that, we dont have an entertainment license. Is that why we're sh*t to watch on a Saturday? Is the club going to get fined if we win 5-3?
September 14, 200916 yr Cavalier Use of Herbicide If they try and kill me I'll take all of the poofy bastards.
