Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 All rivalries aside I do think it's a bit of a shame that somewhere so close to us is dying on its arse. As far as I can see it's only getting worse, it really doesn't have anything going for it at all. Middlesbrough, Darlington, they are just as bad. There are many sunderlands all over the UK. We are lucky really. Never found Darlo too bad but apart from that agree wholeheartedly, especially with the last bit. It has some lovely areas Darlington and some of the houses are huge with huge streets but in general its still dumpy. I'm torn between where is worse, sunderland or Boro. I work a lot in Boro and the number of people who walk about picking up tab dumps or drinking from cans early in the morning is staggering, such a hard up downtrodden place. The people look ill as well. Same as Whitehaven, what should be a lovely area, is awful. I work all over the country mind so see and get to know all these bad places. Stoke and Derby are grim, as is Milton Keynes, Luton, Stevenage. I'm biased like but we live in a beautiful city, with lots going for it, sadly some of the populace let it down and its growing. There is a very thuggy/charver element to Newcastle and its getting worse. Live right near Luton and Stevenage, woohoo! Poor you. Actually I've had a few good nights out in Luton, but Stevenage, bloody hell, now going for it whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Boro's not as bad as Sunderland like, at least they've got the University. I'm not having that anywhere in the UK is as bad as Oldham, it's just impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not having that anywhere in the UK is as bad as Oldham, it's just impossible. Only been to Oldham once, working all day, straight there, job, straight home, so I can't comment but if its owt like other parts of greater Manchester like Stockport and Rochdale and Wigan then I can imagine how bad it is... Boro is pretty bad like, well, the people seem worse off anyway. Again, they look ill and fucked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Been to Oldham and Stockort for football, both were pretty grim and similar. Can't remember which it was but an Asian taxi driver pulled up at the pub and one lad shouted 'anyone order a paki in a taxi!?' then the locals all joined in mocking the driver until he left. Weird scenes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Got to love Sir Alex, basically passing Sunderland off as a feeder club in his interview. Said something along the lines of "all the players we've given them down the years...in fact I think we gave them most of their team that got promoted".
