RESIDENTS ANGRY OVER IMPACT OF FOOTBALL CLUB ON COMMUNITY
Club's red card as 'quality of life is going to plummet'

NEIGHBOURS of a non-league football club in south Manchester have spoken out about how living next to the well-attended ground is affecting their lives.

West Didsbury and Chorlton, whose five adult and 30 junior teams consist of around 500 players, bought the Brookburn Road site in 1996.

Since then, the club has grown, with the semi-professional side attracting around 700 fans for an average home game.

Residents who live around the ground say they put up with a “tremendous” level of match day noise, “fuelled by alcohol”, and that the site is no longer suitable.

They have public safety concerns about the “unlit, narrow” bridleway behind some of their homes, the only way of accessing the ground. And they say spectators hurl abuse at them when parking problems arise.
