Football fans are only just realising easy side hustle can earn them extra £15k & they don’t have to lift a finger
FOOTBALL fans who live close to sports stadiums could be earning an extra £15,000 by simply renting out their driveways to supporters.
Brits are raking in wads of cash by setting up a makeshift car park on their property during matches when spaces are full up.
As many fans risk running late while searching for a place to leave their car, homeowners have come up with the perfect solution.
Residents can score some extra money by listing their driveways on parking platforms for sports fans to rent.
Sites such as YourParkingSpace allow drivers to find and reserve their perfect parking spot – making life a lot easier on match days.
Locals who live near Liverpool‘s Anfield Stadium have earned nearly £300,000 by renting out their driveway to footie fans.
Their earnings topped the parking league table, as residents pocketed a total of £280,751 since first listing their spare spots.
One homeowner based near Arsenal‘s Emirates Stadium in North London has made nearly £15,000 after registering her space in 2017.
Those living near local rivals Chelsea bagged £200,000 for letting people park on their driveways during matches at Stamford Bridge.
Residents close to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have also enjoyed a nice earner and made £175,000.
Homeowners whose property is within reach of West Ham‘s London Stadium were quids in too and scooped £170,000 with the rental scheme.
Queen’s Park Rangers supporters have splashed the cash the most, shelling out more than £200,000 to get a spot close to Loftus Road.
And locals who live on the doorstep of Brentford‘s Gtech Community Stadium earned £150,000 for their services.
Brannan Coady, CEO of YourParkingSpace said renting your driveway is a prosperous way for Brits to earn some extra cash.
He explained: “The Premier League is the greatest league in the world – fans come from across the globe to come see teams play.
“And empty driveways near stadiums offer homeowners a great opportunity to score some extra money.
“But it’s not just Premiership grounds – if you drop down into the Championship, earnings can be just as impressive, and sometimes better, than some teams in the Premiership.”
