What sickens me is you can be certain that every one of those complainants are incomers who were fully aware of the circuits existance, and therefore the noise it creates.

So, anyone who didn't live there before 1950 can bu&&er off somewhere else if they don't like it.

It's worse at Goodwood, and for the same reason of people with too much money to "sway" the councillors and far too much time on their hands to spend at the golf club, moving into the area.

It's happening everywhere.

In Brisbane there is some great live band venues in Fortitude Valley, a suburb right next to the city. It was always considered a more 'alternative' night out than hitting the clubs in the city itself and was more low key. In some parts it was/is quite seedy with Lady's of the Night roaming and trying to support their habits, you know the type of place I mean.

I saw The Living End in the Roxy there. Great venu (I think - )

About 4.5 years ago the property boom made it to Brisbane and all these rich people started moving into the Valley because of it's proximity to the city and it started becoming very trendy. Town house blocks went up and the old warehouses lining the river started turning into very trendy inner city living developments and cafe's went up everywhere. Right after this all the complaints started coming in about the noise from live music and they were all trying to have them banned. It would have really destroyed the character of The Valley. There was a march through the mall and petitions to keep The Roxy open - I left to come here before it was resolved but it would be a sad day if it was closed due to all the yuppies moving in.

So it's not exclusive to motorsport, or the UK even.

It gets under my skin a little bit ...

I bought my house 9 years ago, it's about 400 meters away from Havant Town RFC and at the weekens there's a fair bit of noise from the crowd and the PA system.

The club's been there since 1953 and it's existance was plain to see when I moved in. Do I complain about the noise? Never even considered doing so... if it bothered me then I'd have bought a pad somewhere else.

These people who complain just have no right to do so, it's just totally selfish and the council need to stand up and them to shut up or clear off.

I live 5 minutes walk to the Harlequins home ground and another stadium you might have heard of.

It tends to get busy around my place on rugby weekends. When I was riding home on Sat after being down in Alton I had to ask the police to let me down my street because it was all blocked off. Not one comment about my tinted visor or cans etc, although I was careful not to rev it over 3500RPM.
