Why is building a ground next to a graveyard a bad idea?

Wtf.

 

Goes against RIP because they can't be resting in peace with thousands of football fans regularly being so closeby. You'd have idiots hanging around in there and some would probably have fights arranged in there. Others will take a short cut through there to get to the ground. At some point damage is likely to happen in there. Of course if they shut the graveyard on matchdays they could get around it. Surely better places to build a new stadium.

 

I allus thowt they were somehow...

but I now stand corrected.

 

Re: I allus thowt they were somehow...

You've only got to go down Freeman Street in Grimsby to see what a ***** dump it has become. Nearly every shop (as was) is either closed, shuttered or a cheapo discount. No prospects and no hope.
I have driven round the dock area where there used to be flourishing warehouses and fish merchants and now it has become a bit of a disaster area. One can only imagine what it used to be like a few decades ago when the docks were full of fishing boats and people had proper jobs and money. I think it is very sad.
Really rather like a few other places, don't you think.

 

Did anyone see the video on YouTube of Grimsby fans stopping off in Sheffield on their way to a game a few weeks ago? Loads of pissed up idiots chanting and throwing glasses around and at passers-by. Every club had it's share of nutters but what surprised me is this lot had brought their kids with them, and then filmed themselves.

Scumbags.
