Towns that are not very nice

They must be football related, so please don't post about Jaywick or Haywards Heath.

Three shockers for starters:

1. Oldham - I'm not saying the area is poor, but even the local rats go to a food bank.

2. Bradford - I looked in an estate agents window, I kid you not, you can buy a semi up there for £48,000

3. Went up there for the 6-0 in the week Lady T died - they were having a celebration march through the Town Centre. The place resembles a 1970s Communist outpost. Awful.

Any others ?

Crewe
Stockport (a pattern appears to be emerging)
Blackpool - can be a good night out, but it is a **** hole
Gillingham - sorry @brb

Will revisit this over the course of the day I'm sure.

 

Agree about Blackpool - the entire sea front is a car crash. Never seen so many empty, derelict buildings.

As for Gillingham, you can still comfortably buy a house there for 150k.

 

Blackpool (been a while but I doubt it has improved)
Luton (may have changed but the locals I met were evolving upwards towards Neanderthals)
Chester Le Street (ditto Luton)
Wycombe (Difficult to love a town where the locals throw rocks at you during a football match)
Plumstead (I was there with Mrs Shabby a few years back and the look on her face was a picture)

 

Liverpool -

It's been a while since we went up there, but I will never forget being approached by some youths when I parked up, who wanted money in return for 'looking after' my car.

Lots of the men wore track suits & resembled Terry McDermott.

 

Blackburn is horrible, even the pound shops have sales.

 

Wolves is a ****e hole
Port Vale is full of mongs

There is just something about the Midland club places i absolutely detest.

 

In Oldham High St there's a price war between the charity shops.

 

.

 

Did you pay up? I did when I parked my lorry there overnight 35 years ago. The "youths" were about 12.

 

I am surprised nobody has mentioned Wrexham yet ....

 

Scunthorp .... the ground is in the middle of a trading estate!

 

Ok ....I will then.....WREXHAM.

Its an absolute sh1thole - full of fat layabouts on JSA. I have never seen so many discount Off Licences in one town.

Presumably there must be a huge local demand there for cheap, full strength cider ?

 

Some parts of Bristol are like Syria!

 

Middlesborough

 

Milton Keynes.

 

Blackpool is awful, when I went there for the Solly 2-0 game there were people queueing to get in to the pubs at 13.00 coupled with packs of hens and stags wondering around.

I could not wait to get out of the place quick enough.

 

Petts Wood is a s***hole!

 

Grimsby - I went to see us draw 1-1 up there.

A generally decrepit and run down town, and even @baraettmattesvensson would eventually get tired of that fish smell.

 

I went to Cork once.
Quite a while ago it has to be said.

The people were nice, but the whole town was so grey. Every surface was covered in that stuff you see on the backs of vans, that stupid people write graffiti in with their fingers.
I have often wondered why. I guess that's where they make it.
