whelk Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 What’s it actually mean? Want us to win it of course but assume we won’t as will want to go somewhere poverty stricken up North like Bradford. True levelling up by the Tories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Left Back Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 Find out tonight on the One Show. I'd be surprised if we get it, given the levelling up narrative, but we can but hope. As to what it means - I guess cash, spotlight and some dodgy art installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 Good grief. Firstly, I made it about 20 seconds through that poem before I had to mute it. Secondly, is our ‘culture’ really just two minutes of generic diversity cliches being ticked off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 It always goes to some run down northern town. Least the city council got £125k to cover the costs of the bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 I watched our bid on the one show last week. It made Southampton look like the glamour of Monte Carlo with the history of Rome, cracking spin on a pretty non descriptive middle sized place. However Another occasion where we’ve lost in the final. Glorious failure yet again is become our trade mark. Southampton a city that thrives on always falling a little bit short when it matters.

Matthew Le God Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 (edited) ...Southampton essentially there as the token southern city so it can't be said they leave out the south, but always going to be awarded to a northern city to 'level up'.

The Cat Posted 31 May, 2022 Share Posted 31 May, 2022 Would have been great to win. There's plenty going on here now compared to 10 years ago or so. Obviously it doesn't compete with a lot of bigger cities but it's doing fine. Winning the City of Culture would have given it another push though.
