I went to boundry park in the early 90's when we lost 4-3 in their great escape season.

 

The place is an utter sh1t hole

I went there in the cup (mid week) when they had the plastic pitch, & you are "so" right.

It's ooop north.

 

Where does 'up north' start and therefore defining where the country disappears into a **** hole??? I would suggest Didcot as that is where I have been working for the last three years and that is one hel lof a dump!I am currently in Dudley which re defines the ass hole of the world!... and take it from me I have seen some ****e places. I lived in Stoke for three years....and yes it is pretty near the rim! ... Althought I thought Carlisle was probably somewhere near the rids.

I live in South Staffs so I'm up north compared to Aaaampshire.

 

I work in and around Sandwell so I've very familiar with Dudley and having worked in Stoke for 3 years myself I feel your pain.

 

I would suggest the North starts at M6 J14.

I worked in Didcot for three years as well and agree it is a bit of a hole, but to say it's the start of the sh*t hole that is 'Up north' is a tad wrong in my view, there are some very nice villages and towns in North Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, however as soon as you get anywhere near Birmingham things get decidedly grim, especially when you travel between Brum and Wolverhampton, when I travelled that way a few years back it looked like Hiroshima or Nagasaki with buildings knocked into heaps of rubble.

I went to Oldham on a Tuesday (?) night in the early 90's . I remember going through the the turnstile , across a muddy field , up an even muddier bank and arriving at the back of the terrace .

 

A complete ****hole , wonder if it's changed much ......

I had to go to Oldham last year to get a length of wide bore steam pipe bent 30 degrees (only place in the country that could do it), I'm sure you'll be interested to hear.

 

Whilst waiting for the job I wandered around the stereotypical 'Coronation Street' style terraced back streets of Oldham and found an excellent cafe that still sold pint mugs of tea. It was a glorious sunny day which can make the world's worst sh1thole feel acceptable (oh alright, Skatesmouth excepted). I could see the ground from where I was but did not venture closeby.

 

On Saturday I shall return and seek out this cafe. Now to find a another piece of pipe that needs bending while I'm watching the football.

I do smile at all this "Up north S h i t hole"

 

Have you taken a look at Southampton lately?

 

I left nearly 20-years ago and apart from visits to SMS, walks theough town down to Town Quay from Bedord Place - I would say some of you should look closer to home!

 

As far as where do the Southern s h i t holes start - I would suggest from about south of Doncaster...but that's a southerners take on it!

Surely you mean North of Doncaster Yorkie?, i've been unfortunate enough to visit there a few times now, and Donnie is a real sh*t pit, and is as depressing as french or swedish art house cinema. Rotherham's not much better either!

Boundry Park is the highest ground in England I seem to remember reading somewhere.

 

Nope, I'm quite sure it's The Hawthorns (league ground that is, highest non-league is Buxton).

You are so right!! Southampton is in urgent need of a revamp.

 

As for up north!! Well anywhere north of Cowes really!!

Correct, but Boundary Park is pretty high and bloody cold as the wind whips off Saddleworth Moor.

Can you get tickets on the day?

For some reason SFC cant get their act together over memberships...................anyone any ideas?

BTW...............I dont live in Bangkok but in Cheshire, that's 'up north' and it's actually quite nice. All be it it rains all the time and is miles from the real 'Theatre of Dreams!'

Sorry that would be the Hawthorns WBA.

 

I too went to the Franny Benali game in 93(?) Matty scored a hattrick, Oldham, avoided relegation and Pompey missed out on Promotion losing to palace(could be wrong). Crap ground, good day though.

I agreethat Southampton is a pretty poor state but at least in our fair city there is still hope...... Birmingham has gone man..... It just needs flattening and starting again the place is cack.... you can't even find a decent cafe to get a full monty!!

Have you ordered tickets on-line before? If so I'm fairly certain you just use your old logon/membership number and you're away.

I will pay on the day. It says on the OS that we've received an initial allocation of 1000 which implies more are available if needed.

 

I was thinking about when we played Oldham in the Premier League the other day. Anyone remember us winning 4-3 up there?

From my position, Oldham is technically south. Just don't fall into the trap of assuming 'oop north' is a single entity; on the dark side of t'Pennines you get the Yorkies, Mackems, and Geordies, on God's side you get the Lankys and the Cumbrians. In my judgement, start at the Dee, follow the Mersey before skirting south of Manc and across the Peak District, ( Cheshire and southern Derbyshire are part of the Midlands ), and then take a line across the south of Tykeland to the southern bank of the Humber to mark the 'border', keeping Lincolnshire as the northern part of eastern England.

 

Here endeth the lesson.:cool:

Yes, but that doesn't mean that if more than 1000 turn up on the day they will give us extra tickets. Better to book in advance.

Agree, in the same way the south is not a single entity. Living in E. Yorkshire nothing gets my goat more than to be lumped in with ****neys, because all southerners are the same. I have nothing in common with London, Oxford, Brighton, Bristol, Plymouth or P*rtsmouth for that matter!

Bit off topic here, Bit my wife is thinking of applying for a job in Walsall. Partly because her mother who is on her own and is seventy lives in Stourbridge. She has other relatives in Kidderminster, and her brother lives in Brierley Hill. Where are the desirable areas to live in South Staffs? Good secondary school a priority. Myself I am a teacher also. You are right about Dudley itself it is a **** hole.
