Back on the map for all the wrong reasons!

Its also great to see Nexus has kept its legendary status by letting in the scum of the earth..... quality!
Thing is, people wonder when the town is dead on a weekend!!!! Its becasue the town is ridden with scum bags with no job or real life who are intent on making people hurt like they are hurting inside with lack of brain stimutlation! Fooking vvankers!

I agree it is toss.

But it's the same everywhere nowadays unfortunately.

Yep, Hartlepool more so than others. When I go back to Hartlepool to visit family I see more and more bag heads and scum..... Im growing to dislike the place, its not great, its boring, its chav central & seeminly no-one has a job!

I know Hull isnt much better, but for Gods sake its got a whole lot more qualities than that God forsaken place i used to call 'home'. Sad really.

I blame Asia, Australia & Germany. Its their fault!

Well, at 14 its hard to bring up a child! Its going to be a corrupt child isnt it!

Hartlepool must be vying for the roughest town in the country, that the only reason I can think of at the minute...

And Jesmond is quite select although quite busy.

This town is too small and it has too many bars for the size of it.

Everyone knows everyone, and is related to everyone.

I used to be a bit of a lad over town, but i quickly learnt you can't as you've probably took home your ex girlfriends cousin or summit!

And eventually almost everything becomes 'Hartlepooled', turns shite, becomes rough as feck

When the Lighthouse first opened, it may not of been everyones cuppa, but it was OK, quite well done out, now I wouldn't go there if it was the last bar on earth, how long before the Marina ends up that way?


Too many 'bars', too much cheap beer, stupid opening hours and too many arseholes who if they want a scrap, can't to it without a glass or bottle in their hands

How are we on the map - are we on the national news?

It's fucking shite on a night out in Hartlepool, I never go past Victoria Road in the rare event I do go out, the town's full of tossers. The women are the worst. Then again, I was in Hull this weekend and saw a bar-clearing brawl in Hockneys between Brits and Poles

Well since my time in Hull ive never seen a fight and i go out every weekend.....

Not even new town where the 'ruff' folk go...... you must be going to the place where pricks congregate!!!!!
You must have been pretty close if you knew it was Brits & Poles!!!! Was it not your fighting with the Polish shop's shutters and mutters obseneties under your breath??

And yes, you might find 2 stabbing & a glass in the face in one night puts a place on the map for the wrong reasons.



Absolutely bang on!

People at work asking me if the town is rough, so you know, its national a bit isnt it.

I never go out in Hartlepool now, not because of the roughness, it's just a bit shiit.

Saying this, i'd much rather go out in Hartlepool than south London these days

I generally go to the local in Seaham now, if I go for a night out it's Sunderland

where were you on sunday you feckin coward ?

It is though, its bad crack like. Not quite in the top 20 worst places like, but neither is Hull. Maybe now Hull has a Premiership football team and 2 super league rugby teams channel 4's 'EXPERTS' will take a closer look at Hull rather than driving into Brandsholme Estate and leaving! Hartlepool is worse than Hull, it pains me to say it like, but it really is!!!!

I didnt mention the night out.............or did i compare Hartlepool to Hull's night life.....

I concur.

I think the number of bars in Hartlepool actually stop the town centre from becoming an all out warzone on a saturday night. The young ones and older posers stay up the top end and older crowd and the younger chavs/chores stay down the bottom end. Imagine there was only 4 or 5 bars, there'd be even more on hell on than there is now.

I don't think you can compare Jesmond to Hartlepool either like - I've lived in Jesmond for the past two years and the people who frequent the pubs along there are students, professionals and the occasional stag do. I've never seen a fight there and I wouldn't expect to. A fair comparison would be the Bigg Market, which is far worse than Hartlepool in my opinion.

I couldnt give a flying fook to be fair. The city is tidying its act up and bloody quickly too. Although, i wouldnt touch Orchard Park in the dark, the rest is ok. East Hull is 'rough' but not that bad where you fear for your life! unlike rift house and seaton lane.

I reckon Hull and Hartlepool are very very similar.

Nice spots and not so nice spots. Most large towns and cities are similar.

I slept in Aido, for some reason i still think i can go out and get mega drunk and still get up for football the next day, d'oh!

I'll make it up to you

well thats going to be true seen as though this 2001 census says;

Hull population - 253,400
Hartlepool Population - 98,000

So, there is likely to be more crime in hull with it being twice the size of Hartletown........

I reckon proportionally Hull has a higher crimerate than hartlepool

i found a statistic about hull from 2005 - 69 crimes per day....

Hartlepool doesnt do crime - is overlooked by people with rose tinted glasses!

Nah, one lot were shouting in a foreign language and one was wearing a Polska t-shirt and a red and white flagged cap. The British lot were pure Hull scum though. If you're out on Princes Rd and town then you probably won't see anything, but you're having a laugh if you think Hull's not violent and has its fights. Beverley Rd's on fire at some point on a weekend, I lived off of it near the Dorchester and sirens would be in their dozens on a Friday and Saturday.

To be fair to Hull though, in three years there I only saw two fights, but I was attacked twice, saw a couple of thefts and had my house broken in to. Hull's much worse, but that's only if you take into account the likes of Bransholme and Orchard Park.

Hartlepool and Hull are VERY similar though. Both off the beaten track, you only go there if you need to (and rarely do if you're not native), has a nice marina and an okay town centre, loads of bars and full of scum.

No, it's overlooked by the police, which is a different matter. Most crime figures will be largely made up of traffic offences, which is not the kind of crime we're on about, is it? Or are Hulls roads safer than ours too?

Total Number of Offences.

Ha......im not slagging off my home town, im just making the point that its not that nice of a place......!

is 3% is a massive diffference then?

Are you a yank?

I did indeed say that!

Its my opinion and of course and your own opinion is what matters isnt it.

A nice town.......... Beverley (Is it classed as a town??), Harrogate....thats about it i think

No but im that bored at work i may have one!

ive only ever camped there like so im not even in a position to slate it

Patty Robsons chin just doesn't sound right.

Leave the dog out of this please...........

Harrogate, Knaresborough

Hartlepool has no decent shops for a starter, few decent hotels, transport links are cack...

.

You don't rate a town by hotels and shops, do you?
I think Harrogate and Knaresborough are terminally dull have an intolerable lack of subterraneanisms. I'd rather live in Hull any day

You know, so would I

Life is no fun without subterraneanisms

One thing im not looking forward to is the big new bridge to be built round the corner

Won't it be useful for getting to the other side?

Where?

Thats your decision, but they aren't filled to the rafts whit shitehawks, bagheads, skagmiesters, broken glass, dogshite, rubbish strewn everywhere, I like Hartlepool because my family and friends live there and Hartlepool United, I can take or leave the rest of it

No, but a little inconvenience is the price you must pay to avoid dying of boredom
See, Talbot, that's why you spend so much time picking fault on here......there's nowt to disagree with in Harrogate

I'll remember that next time my house or car gets done over then old bean.......

he wishes
