The Great Spot And Roll Swindle?

Bulls News has received reports that the stray paint damage done to cars during the stand repaint has now 'affected' over 100 cars - with much of the claimed work totally unnecessary.

Paint spots were detected on half a dozen cars last week, forcing workmen to switch from their spray guns to more conventional brushes and rollers.

One valeting company has claimed to residents to have cleaned over 100 cars as of Sunday, but Bulls News has been informed by several residents in the Edgar Street area that they are being offered the services as their cars are "covered in the stuff" even though there is no evidence of paint damage to most of the vehicles.

Each resident has been offered a full clean and polish, worth up to £40 according to one company's price list, whilst being told that the football club would be paying for the work. One resident was told that if the paint, which the owner could not see evidence of, could not be removed then the club would pay for a full respray of the vehicle.

At least two seperate valeting companies have canvassed the area since the news of the damage broke last week with one company almost permanently encamped in one of the private car parks off Nolan Road since Sunday.
