Which town in the UK is the biggest crap hole you been to?

[officer_dibble]

Move beyond the Headrow, Boar Lane and Vicar lane and you you are either met with 100,000 overpriced anonymous flats or you move in to ramshackle terraced housing inhabitted by students or the socially excluded. Beyond that are enclaves of housing the price of which just adds to the Leeds ethos which was epitomised by the 80s character "loadsamoney", £300k for a 2 up 2 down terraced house in Chapeltown even has londoners pissing their sides.

Thats why I live t'other side of the M1 near Cas...get what ya pay for? not likely. South Leeds is a bit more reasonable I think, once you get past Beeston obviously. Chapel Allerton is absolutely overpriced, and it runs into Chapeltown so it aint that great. Horsforth etc to NW are better bets.

Visit any Leeds city centre bar and you'll be greeted by the 4 same groups skinheaded retards in lacoste trainers, pissed up hen parties, pricks who think that because they make £20k a year running a branch of Next they are the big man in town or the chinless feck thrown-up by the city's slpurge of bloodythirsty legal firms.

you went to the wrong bars! there are plenty of decent bars around playing decent music in LCC, but there are a lot as you described...

Outside of teh city centre you're either going to be stuck in a student bar, with students whining about having no money yet pissing it away on beer alcopopos and designer sunglasses, or in a pub so rough that if you don't enter with facial scarring you will leave with it.

Leeds is every bit as repellant as its football club's manager.[/quote]
Agreed, although I work in Headingley and the pubs on a friday pm are a good laugh with the right crowd.

And the bus system is crap!

We'll have to differ, but we are too close not to be liking the same area. Trent Park, Hadley Wood, Monken Hadley (not Friern Barnet though)

Friend of a friend wrote a book, and had it published, about the demise of Morcambe. I doubt that you can still get hold of it, but anyway, it's called 'The Lost Resort?'

I hear you. miss my old flat in High Barnet, was the best flat I've had. Now in East London, not so good but convenient for work and I don't have to get the northern line anymore

They've agreed to sort it out, they're giving £100k to the shay stadium trust IIRC

The council are arranging the work. Renogotiating the lease with the Trust which will free up more unused land on the site for "commercial development" whatever that means.

Think some of the stand is to be used for council office space, or something along those lines.

Think that was part of the original plan, but I think theyve shelved it and are just going to refurb the existing offices. I think thats what were said in t'courier.


Admin - can we have a Halifax Town forum please?

I never actually went to the Shay watching Town during RMI's entire stint in the Conference, though I've been at least 3/4 times watching Leigh rugby, so it'd have to be a dual code forum

I was about to say that they were pretty good in Super League, before realising just how long ago their peak form in '98 actually is
