Bowlers threaten to boycott green over safety fears

“The bowlers should go and trash any nearby youth facilities to give them a taste of their own medicine.

@harryoffdock2: The familiar form of the dog breed name in your censored post probably received the red pen as part of it is a nickname for Welsh people which, in these ultra-sensitive times, no-one is allowed to use, even when you're not using it.”

“Electrify the fence perhaps?”

I couldnt agree with you more on that statement BUT I know these children not personnaly but i know them and they are not the sort of kids who would want to join in a game of bowls, it may start of with all good intensions but would soon turn the corner. only yesterday evening whilst walking the dog at around 8.30 were the kids sat on the roof of the building and in a small group in the middle of the green kids as young as 7/8 oldest around 13/14 smoking and drinking the TINNIES that theyve manged to get hold of, its no good asking them to get out because you just get a barrage of abuse from them so its not even worth the backlash that youd get, I personnaly think that the kids at the moment dont have a care for the area because of the mess thats being created from the building of the school {not that this is the only reason i suppose} the ground is now down to wrack and ruin we have no police presence either community or {real} police or if they do its at times when the kids arnt just loitering around with nothing to do, perhaps a youth centre with things to do may help on the site .. to be honest I dont know what the answer is to the problem apart from cut the trees down and put a megga pallasade fencing and make it look like a prison exercise yard {and iv only seen them on tv :}}..”

“Just a thought, but judging by the comments in the article about the bowlers having to watch their belongings, it appears that these kids are around the bowling green whilst games are being played. What about inviting them in, talking to them and giving them chance to play bowls themselves? If a few of these kids knew the importance of the game to the members and were welcomed, they may have more respect for the club itself, thereby dissuading their friends from abusing the facilities. As the adage goes; 'keep your friends close, but your enemies closer'.”

“green arrow this if you think im wrong”

“@harryoffdock2

I was thinking the same as you but according to IDonotKnowBest the Police are doing a great job considering. I THINK NOT.”

“The area censored by the Wail should have read s t a f f y. Don't know why that gets censored.”

“Just indicative of society today I'm afraid. Feral kids born of feral parents. When passing this area I often wonder if it is compulsory when riding a bike to have a can of strong lager/cider in ones hand and a "s*****" running alongside.
This kind of behaviour is not exclusive to large council estate's, but it does seem that more unruly behaviour exists in these places, and I sat this a man whose parents where both brought up on NHE.”

“Good evening,
May I just say I take my pooch for a walk everyday around this park, iv watched the school of many colours built step by step iv witnessd the artificial pitches emmerg iv also witnessed the kids climbing the trees to get onto the roof and access the bowling pitch, they sit on the highest roof and often walk across it. I dont think you will ever stop the kids from being in there unless the trees that surround the building are cut down and a mahoosive pallasade fencing out around I also think that the parky should make a longer appearence but then does it warrent a parky to watch the only piece of equiptment thats left in queen Elizabeth playing field, there ar no swings slides roundabouts anymore, to be honest the park is a mess, not the park I remember when I first came to hull in 1985.and as for calling the police well i watched as a police vehical drove onto the park but because the police van couldnt get any further than the yellow locked gates they didnt bother, so there was no deterant so the kids stayed on life went on.

Parks should be full of green grass and kids and familys having fun places for kids to explore the elder generation playing bowls , oh well that was Park life......”

“I don't think boycotting the green would be a good idea as this would just encourage vandalism on a massive scale although it would also be equally useless to continue playing there with it getting dismantled around the bowlers and would also allow the vandals to win”
