...Seacroft, Gipton, Burmantofts etc. All utopian paradises where the smack is plentiful and where women aged 30 are called grandma

You can't have visited for a while then. It's by no means perfect but it's a bustling town at the moment.

Don,t forget east end park. little london and the bomb factorys in beeston. People who live in glass houses springs to mind

Was last Weds when i was there. It just doesn't appeal to me.

What a blow to our gentrification aspirations.

I find it quite ironic that we're comparing Leeds' worst places with Cas. Says it all tbh.

All them places above are quite a big proportion of Leeds! Put it this way, from personal experience I feel far more safer walking around Airdale then I do Gipton! Not that it's a competition!

I suppose it might if you view towns/cities purely on affluence, aesthetics etc and without consideration of history, tradition and sense of community. I find your perspective depressingly common amongst Rhinos fans who delude themselves with the notion that "We all hate Leeds" is born of jealousy as opposed to the contempt in which you were held even when you were crap.

They are? So you're forgetting about Chapel Allerton, Scarcroft, Thorner, Alwoodley, Lanswood, Wigton Moor etc etc.

You're obviously going to feel safer walking around your own area. Same with me and Gipton or where ever.

I actualy was comparing the worst places in Cas to the worst places in Leeds if you read the post.

As someone who'll be traveling up from London tomorrow, can I just say that residents of what is, ateotd, a small provincial town, pretending to some sort of metropolitan sophistication and looking down on Castleford is mildly amusing – a bit like a kitten doing that standing up and raising its paws in attempt to look big thing.


That is all.
