Manchester voted one of the best nights out, Salford one of the worst.

There’s plenty of decent enough pubs dotted around various parts of Salford.

It’s probably unique though in that it’s the only town or city I know that hasn’t really got a centre.

Had this discussion the other day. Does anyone know where the centre of Salford is? The Precinct?

The 'f'.

All depends on whether you count the precinct / Pendleton or Greengate / Blackfriars or the Quays as the city centre. It’s the only city where there’s not a simple answer. To confuse matters further the Town Hall (Civic Centre) which would normally be in the city centre is in Swinton, which depending on definitions is a different town and has a Manchester postal address.

You call any Swintonian a Salfordian he’ll shoot you down in flames ..

Town for me.

Trinity and Blackfriars are part of Salford but are in Manchester city centre. Salford Central Station is in Mcr city centre n’all.

Town could be called Mansalaffordchester city centre (or some other mixture of the names).

Kings arms, black lion, the eagle, New Oxford, a nice little crawl in salford

What was known as Chapel street now not much of a crawl

Especially any Swinton RL fans, they’re all staunchly Swinton and not Salford.

If only we had a decent transport system that operated through the night then town would be awesome. As it is the last tram out is at 11.34pm. That is embarrassing for a world leading city.

Count yourself lucky, last realistic train back to Sheffield after City match or gigs has often been before 10.30pm !

For me, Manchester City Centre is also Salford’s city centre. Especially when you think Manchester was just a district in the Salford Hundred at one time. Even our Manchester accent is actually the Salford accent.

Salfordians (and people from Trafford n’all) all call Mcr City Centre ‘Town’.

We’re all one and the same metropolis despite being cities in their own right.

It was always be "Town" for me.

Born in Hope, raised in Weaste, Manchester is "Town"

I hate being called Mancunian. I'm a Salfordian, there is a big difference

And they would be…?

I recall Berlin's metro system running throughout the early hours
