Football fans can make £15,000 in easy side hustle on matchdays

Do you live near a Premier League stadium?

Football fans who live close to stadiums could participate in a lucrative side hustle that could earn them an extra £15,000.

Fans across the country are taking advantage of living near football stadiums by setting up a makeshift car park on their property on matchdays.

When spaces are full up, people are renting their driveways to fans attending games, earning huge amounts of money in the process.

YourParkingSpace allows drivers to find and reserve spots, which is a perfect solution for fans who are searching for car parking for busy game days.

According to a report, locals who live near Liverpool's Anfield have pocketed nearly £300,000 by renting out their driveway to football fans.

Residents in Merseyside have earned a total of £280,751 since first listing their spare spots.

One homeowner near Arsenal's Emirates Stadium has managed to rake in nearly £15,000 after registering her space in 2017.

Residents who live near Chelsea's Stamford Bridge received £200,000 for renting out their driveways.

People close to the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium have also benefited, picking up £175,000 for letting fans use their driveways.

Locals who are within touching distance of West Ham United's London Stadium made £170,000 through the site while homeowners near Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium earned £150,000.

CEO of YourParkingSpace Brannan Coady believes the rental scheme is a great way of earning extra money and even said it's a lucrative ploy for Championship grounds too.

"The Premier League is the greatest league in the world - fans come from across the globe to come see teams play," he said.

"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."
