cant see Brighton getting one

That is bollocks - should have been Blackpool. Very bad call.

Thought the same, that place needs regenerating SO badly.

 

[Beach Hut]

Blimey that was a dark horse - thought it would be the Dome or Blackpool

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Even more surprising, Withyham beat Buxted to second place.

 

[El Presidente]

Blackpool is an embarrasment to the whole country though, I used to run a nightclub there and it was a very scary experience.

Manchester has lots to offer visitors, as well as needing to regenerate the East side, so it's a good call..........and about 15 minutes walk from work.

Well, I guess there's Old Trafford for the football. Erm, then there's the cricket ground Old Trafford, of course. After that I'm struggling a bit, to be honest.

It should have gone to Blackpool. I went there for the first time last year and was shocked at how run down it has become.

Blackpool needs non-seasonal industry to help regenerate itself and a Casino would have been a good start.

It's got TRAMS too.

I wonder why Lewes did not bid for it?

Have you been to Manchester since it's been rebuilt?

The center is fantastic. In a strange way it getting blown to smitherines by the IRA has done it a favour in the long run.

And it's in such a lovely area. Sandwiched between Longsight and Ardwick. just right for all the punters to be robbed at gunpoint on their way too and from the place.

Shit hole of the highest order that area.

 

[1066gull]

Can't believe not a single south coast city getting one

Wouldn't mind going to Portsmouth if they had one

 

[Rougvie]

VERY bad decision, but thats what you get tith CCORRUPT TO THE CORE New Labour.

Good call - the crims must be rubbing their hands with glee!

Yes I have. Unfortunately, the centre and, from what I saw, much of the rest of it is still very much a complete crap hole, a disgraceful state of affairs for this country's third largest city.

I'd be more willing to level the corruption charge at Labour had it gone to the Dome, which I thought was NAILED ON to win. Blackpool needs it more than Manchester.

Revolutionary way of reclaiming some of the Manc criminals drug money
