The north. It's a shithole

[Foolg]

Well as I have lived in Doncaster for the past three years I will come to its defence. I was up this way in the seventies for four years and it was a grim time. Modern Doncaster has been transformed. Best market in the country (you will not have seen the like in Sussex) and those lucky enough to travel up last year for the Donny match will have noticed the Stadium next to the lake and plush offices /housing. I live a few yards from the one time home of Douglas Bader and all the houses around here are made from the beautiful local stone. As for the people, they are generally great. They were even polite enough not to take the piss out of us when watching the Swindon debacle at the local pub.

You'll see in this thread i've already stuck up for the north, but just shows how a town can change. The way I walked back to the station from Doncaster with my mates was through an old dumping field, and then through run down streets like you see on Coronation Street, but in a worse state. Evidently money's been spent though on the town.

I used to go out with a bird from Donny (1997), she was scorching hot but dumped me for a 'famous' DJ from Gatecrasher...

Heterosexual HIV capital of the UK by all accounts, great night out though!

That's the point I think, the places oop North that are nice, are generally those areas where very few Northerners live.... I rest my case m'lud.

This.

The bird and Donny! Most people in Gatecrasher 'back in the day' were off their tits on some form of drug and were too making shapes to consider anything else!
