We had a good chat with some - seemed okay. They were fighting each other in one of the pubs (the Manchester I think) which the police apparently cleared out. In fairness we heard infighting and assumed it was Portsmouth! Riot vans doing the loop most of the day. Mate of mine booked the B&B and mine had no heating!
Will you stop clogging up the take the piss out of NUFC thread with your ****ing Blackpool stories until well after the match has finished please
It spirals as well. The quality of everything goes downhill. The usual seaside food etc just looks and tastes sub-standard which makes the whole thing even worse which means fewer ppl will come back. Everywhere becomes underinvested, like you say the state of the buildings and general maintenance. I can understand it when the industry is dying there, it's not like anything is going to turn it around. I think it's the same for a lot of seaside towns nowadays sadly.
Stoke is made up of 6 towns, 2 are Vale, 4 Stoke, lit of in City rivalry, so against other teams they'll stand together, if there's no one to fight, they'll divide into individual towns and have a go at one another, they're that desperate to fight. Walsall is the same but with only 2 areas,
Yeah a lot are run down. I'm from Bognor and its not what it was even 20 years ago. Its nice though compared to Blackpool. Difficult to know how to turn these towns around.
Hopefully he does but I think Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough will all be starting with new managers next season.
About 5 yrs ago a group of Eastern Europeans moved into one of the towns and tried to muscle in on the drug trade, within a few weeks, they kidnapped the leader and took his leg off with a chainsaw. Not sure they were the naughty forties though
