“if the council used their brains (for once) they could suply enough land for the cruisers to use and meet on, charge £1-2 per car, job done, somebody with a burger van would do some mega business, the cruisers would be of the street and all the do gooders can stop moaning and a life, i used to be a cruiser but when the coppers started giving it the big i am i stopped going which was about 6 years ago, i fi could afford to buy some land that is what i would do with it”

“RICHARD, cars are not play things, what i suggest is that they use them to get from A to B.”

“A mum, I take it from your coments you would find it fine for your children to be 'hanging about ' with the Fespark boys/ girls, raceing round a large estate of shops, homes , the area with Stoke's main cinama in and large water theam park, all atracking other 'normal traffic' and people warking around. Well do you think its right now. They should get a life and get a club going. The problem is they want it done for them, and why sould it be. So, if they keep whinging, we have the right to tell them to put up or shut up.”

“I'd like to wish ALL you Girls/boys all the best in your fight, I really hope you get somewhere where there are no MISERABLE, SAD, KNOW IT ALLS about to spoil your fun.

You enjoy life while you can, but drive carefully.”

“i personally hold the opinion that boy racers and their female fans should grow a brain and get a life.”

“oh and those peopl on here who are complaining about the standard of cars driven by most of thses "boy racers" have obviously never tried to get an insurance quote as a 17 year old lad. Top gear proved the point only sunday on how expensive it is. With this in mind how exactly do people think these "boy racers" afford their cars? it certainly isnt by living on benefits. many of these youngsters work solely to afford their cars and they should be respected for that. The issue of litter is more to do with local fast food restaurants and the problem would not disappear with the removal of car entusaists, many people leaving the drive throughs are too lazy dispose of their litter properly this is not just youngsters, the culture of laziness is not just from the youth of the area.”

“Not In Stoke; why blow up Stoke? Demolishing the city is what the council is doing very well lately (i refer to the Hanley wasteland!).
Hence my comment about the large areas of land that could be used for hosting.
Interestingly, perhaps people should consider what the Council's plans are for most of hanley, what's leading the plans (money and business), and maybe why they've got an eye on clamping down on those hanging around up there, as i'm sure that their plans for Clough Street/Festival Park may hve something to do with this.”

“i have started a group on facebook called 5,000 people who want an area for car enthusiasts in stoke. it is an open group and i would welcome all the support from all sectors of the community to try and prove to the local council that there is both a need and support from the law abiding citizens of stoke on trent for this kind of service and that the car enthusiast community are in full support of a ban provided an area is provided for those of us who do not cause trouble. Also i think from a legal stand point it would be easier to prove that you are not breaching civil liberties if an area is provided to allow people to continue their hobby in a safe and legal manner.”

“Its a pity that no one from the council has the bottle to add a comment (as happened previously on other topics) to answer some of the valid concerns and suggestions forwarded on this issue .”

“Lets just blow Stoke up and start again. One way to get rid of a vast sprawl of mess!”
