Yeh I am too - but I always consider a shithole to be about the place and how it looks / is, rather than the people...!

Surprised Walsall hasn't been mentioned in the list of huge dumps oop North.
Surprised this thread wasn't over after this was posted.

You must have missed the Bridge Bier Huis. Give it a go next time you visit. Lovely pub and friendly locals

My ex Boss is from Clitheroe. His dad played for Burnley for many years and his uncle played for City. He supports Leeds ...
By his own admission Burnley is full of very strange people and in many cases unpleasant people. The area around Burnley is apparently stunning, but the town of Burnley .......
Another colleague was a lad of Afghan extraction who was Burnley mad. He used to go to games with family members. He said it was weird as you would be having a friendly chat to the guy next to you who would suddenly hurl racist crap at a player on the pitch, they would then carry on chatting as if nothing had happened. TBF, Naz view was the problems in Burnley weren’t all down to the white Anglo Saxon fraternity.
I spend time around Preston and they have a similar opinion to us. It’s like the town that time forgot.
My ex boss lives in the West Country now and so has seen what the rest of the England has to offer. The only place close to Burnley is, and they’ll be no surprises on this ... is Luton. He actually thought Luton was worse which doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Luton is a truly ****ing horrible place.
I haven’t spoken with either since late 2000’s so things might have changed ..... or not.

Hipster have reached Burnley?
To be fair, I visited in around 2009/2010 just before the beardy mob put down their 20 sided dice and declared themselves Hip.
I’m not against the North. Some of my best nights out have been in Bolton, Chester, Manchester, Sheffield, Newcastle. Great walking and climbing holidays in the countryside up there. Great places with largely decent folk. It’s not a Northern thing, plenty of holes down south. But there is something about a Northern shithole that is just a tad worse

I care, I really do. I went to Burnley in April 2018 for the away fixture in our first season in the Premier League. So here is a list of wonderful bits and bobs about my trip that day :
The weather was glorious - a beautiful, warm, sunny spring day.
The countryside around Burnley is picturesque.
They have a fantastic bus service from Preston that runs on tracks - these buses even have square wheels.
It has three railway stations for you to leave the town as quickly as possible.
The locals are very welcoming with a tremendous sense of humour as in “Fook off, yer fooking wankers!” when entering one of their pleasant hostelries.
The ground has a wonderful old world charm with the fans indulging in some long forgotten colonial exhortations with gay abandon towards the visiting players and supporters.
The same said fans give you a wonderful send off on your departure with gleeful expressions about lady bits.
Finally, when you’ve enjoyed an experience so much, they say you should never go back.
Arrivederci Burnley!
****ing la-de-dah Brighton fans with their University education and their typing things in complete sentences.
Lol, he thinks the penny farthing riding waxed mustached gruel eating Victorians are hipsters...when they are actually just stuck in the past.

It's a shame that so many angry views and insults are being shared by supporters of both clubs.
Both Brighton and Burnley are currently striving to compete with the financial powerhouses and need to remain supportive of each other.
These abusive keyboard spats seem to be becoming far too regular throughout society.
I'm sure if John Lennon was writing Imagine today he would have a line in there, "Imagine there's no social media".
It's time for this horrible pandemic to f*ck off and for us all to get out and start seeing each other face to face and being friendly once again.
We could all do with a bit of extra kindness at the moment.

Haha! Thats really bothered you, hasn’t it. Brilliant.
A thread about how shit Burnley fans are and you manage to insult our own fans. What an absolute clanger you are!
Upset you didn’t get picked to represent? Perhaps duck out of the Bear Pit now and again, you might get spotted

Just before he punched his Mrs in the mooey.
He would probably also be living in a large Sussex farmhouse away from the Northerners.......
As noted eslewhere, they must have misheard us singing 'Town full of racists'.
I still remember walking from the car to Priestfield past front gardens replete with old mattresses and chav families on deck chairs !!! Garden of England ? Pah
West and East Kent are very different. Gittingham is many miles west of Faversham. Many. It's even many miles west of Sittingbourne.
