how does a nearby football ground(ie big clubs) affect property prices? -im a footie nut but living near a football ground was an utter pain - so are majority of residents nearby hardcore footie fans?
are enough footie fans willing to pay to live near their teams ground ?-or are they a minority?
given all the traffic chaos and parking it would appear to have a negative affect?

up in scotland the big grounds tend to be in pretty grim areas since the land is cheap and you need lots of space for parking and the stadiums.
i cant picture anyone wanting to live in parkead cause its close to their team unless their highrise gives them a free view of the game.
i dont know about down south but i suspect most guys would have a problem explaining to their partner they wanted to pay a premium to live in an area which will have nighmarish parking and be packed with drunk fans once a fortnight.0 -
Our UK house is a fifteen minute walk away from Molineux stadium.
It is a pain in the backside when there is a match on as there are just so many parked cars blocking the road up.. Our road is bad at the best of times for parking (being predominantly teraced houses with no garages). On football days it is even worse! The strets nearer the ground have been allocated residents' parking, so all the traffic comes down to us now to park!
Having said that, houses in our street are snapped up, they are not usually on sale for long. I think this is because other than football days it is a reasonable area and far enough away from the ground for people to be able to ignore it other than on football days.
We are not football fans.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0
