Car Damaged near Ground

[Jimbo]

Wondered if by any chance anyone saw anything today at Accrington Stanley, parked car on Manchester Road (main road between Crown Pub and the road down to the ground) (Livingstone Road) when we got back sombody had driven right down the side of the car, causing quite a lot of damage to it
I know most fans were in the ground like me but you never know........
if anyone saw anything would you either post or ring Lancashire Police on 01254 382141 quoting LOG 293 EQ/030404
Crappy end to a brilliant day Thanks for reading peeps

Ive got a theory - main road - possibly a bus??? Was it high enough for a bus bumper?

Thanks for the replies Guys,
the paint left on it was light coloured possibly white or grey and my car is a light blue mondeo, the point of impact was about the wing mirror and door handle height so it could easily have been a bus, I am just amazed that with the amount of damage nobody following saw anything because it is such a busy road.

No witnesses at all? I know some of the Accy buses are maroon and cream - the lower half being cream (if I remember correctly).. Get the police to check the bus depots

My car got damaged similarly when I was residing in Manchester but it was on the wing at the front passenger side. It was parked outside my house and there is a post office and a sorting office opposite where I had parked. The entrance to the sorting office is usually used as a turn around spot for people going to the post office so some idiot has reversed into my wing dented it and sodded off. Its still there as well coz Im not prepared to loose my no claims to get it sorted - gutted - there are some very dishonest people in this world when it comes to things like this ....

Think the Pilkingtons buses are cream coloured,might be worth checking them out.

[Jimbo]

Thanks Very Much, the more i think of it the damage is consistent with a bus and the paint marks are certainly cream in colour and even more I remember a bus picking up fans from outside the crown after the game when the traffic was bedlam.
I wonder............................................ .................................

[asfc babe]

do they go on whalley road though?

Terrible when no one owns up.

Someone must have seen something!

If it was that bus, anyone know any fans who might be on it who might have seen something ?

[Jimbo]

Phoned the police again and they said unless I had a witness who actually saw something thay were not prepared to go down to the bus company depot

It was chaos on Whalley Road 20 mins before the match. A policeman had to guide one of the buses (can't remember which colour) between the parked cars on one side of the road and the traffic on the other side. They couldn't back up to get out of the way as the queue was all the way down to the Whinney Hill traffic lights.

It makes me mad and I live in a different country, have you tried calling Chester to see what coachs were being used for the supporters and if you get no info try a few of these.

I realise this is a little off topic but i know how your feeling.
Last august on the way to work a truck from a local haulage firm decided to try to squeeze between me and the central res at clayton lights and hit me. The loving driver decided he would just drive off. After reporting it to the haulage company and being told Prove it! i went to the police with a witness whom i work with who had got most of the registration, the police said there was nothing they could do because my witness was an associate. Great aint it! 2 yars no claims down the pan grrr....

[Jimbo]

Wingy, I didnt think anybody would have seen anything but it was worth a chance,

but in your position with a witness it must be doubly frustrating

(the police said there was nothing they could do because my witness was an associate. Great aint it!)

Maybe you should have gone to a solicitor

Cheers Mate
