premier league stadiums to be converted following chelsea bus parking exercise
liverpool, england
Premier League clubs have convened a
hasty meeting following last Sunday’s
match at Anfield between Liverpool
and Chelsea, to discuss the immediate
conversion of their stadiums to bus
parks.
A spokesman for the Premier League
said, ‘Clearly the way forward for all
clubs in the league is to park buses
on the pitch, because the revenue
generated from the parking fees clearly
outstrips what the clubs receive from
the spectators every week, and as long
as the buses are painted in the team
colours the clubs feel that there will still
be thousands who will turn up to see the
buses.’
He added, ‘There is also the added
bonus that parked bus fanciers tend
to be less aggressive so the policing
fees for every game will be drastically
reduced, and local residents will be less
inconvenienced on match days.’
Some clubs including Stoke City and
West Ham successfully tested the

that have caused so
much debate this week
following Liverpool’s 0
- 2 defeat to Chelsea
concept earlier in the season, but the
mastery and driving skills displayed
by Jose Mourinho’s side seems to have
finally won the rest of the clubs over.
Ironically the Chelsea manager was one
of the harshest critics of the idea earlier
in the year, but has been so completely
won over by what he called a ‘19th
Century’ concept at the time that he has
had the club staff working overtime to
perfect it.
One problem on the horizon, however,

is the interest being shown by both the
DVLA and the Unite union, who are
demanding that any bus parking must
be done by properly qualified operators
who have paid their union dues.
This, though, has not stopped the clubs
jointly hiring top contruction firm Laing
to draw up plans to allow both double
and single decker buses access to
the grounds, with Fulham expressing
particular concern and asking for special
dispensation to park water buses.
