Quote: Billy Batten "What.. all the culture..'"
Remember these 2 little beauties on the 13th?
Quote: Billy Batten "Excellent video but unfortunately the city does not have the infrastructure or to determination of the right people to steer us towards winning capital of culture.'"
Quote: Billy Batten "What a load of $ollocks. Liverpool was already light years ahead of the game before they won it.
The regeneration of the city was in full swing and they built on their strengths and heritage. Big names wanted to be part of it and continue to do so.
Take a trip to Liverpool and ask yourself if we can compete with what they have, the answer is no.
I am not kncking Hull, but as I pointed out, we do not have the people in charge who can take the city in the direction required and build upon our own history and heritage.
Look at the docks area - what a state. Grimsby got the fishing heritage.... they are a back water compared to Hull. There is no vision or desire to take this city forward and I cannot see that changing in the near to mid future.
From the minute the judges drove down Clive Sullivan way and saw the Lord line building they would have made their minds up.
We are a sattelite city and the major investment required will not be forthcoming.'"
Then funnily enough you stopped posting on the thread after Hull won.
Fancy doing that here?
