Which town (or city) stands out as the least aesthetically pleasing away day you've visited?

[LGWIO]

Luton. Absolute dump. Gillingham’s not got a lot going for it either

Agree on both but would also add in Doncaster, although it was back '88 when I saw a game there

The place is a ghost town

Thought that was Diss Town.

Donny is indeed a dump.
Full of weirdo meth heads, laughing at trees and arguing with themselves.
My BIL lives there, we've stayed a few times.

It’s nice around Wembley. Just the pubs are shit.

On a few of our trips I’ve had a good walk around the area and surrounding areas and it’s spotless. It’s full of people, always!, and a lot of shit shops and market stalls selling tat, but it’s still nice.

Makes even some so-called nicer areas of Manchester (like Chorlton-cum-Hardy, for example) look like a fucking tip and it’s nowhere near one of London’s nicer areas.

King Edward VII Park, Wembley Hill Road, Wembley Park Road, Alperton, Sudbury, Perivale, Brent etc. are tree-lined and lovely and they’re all around the Wembley area. The Sanatan Temple is one of the top buildings in the entire British Isles. Then you have Wembley itself and all the new hotels and places to eat.

I think it’s nice round there.

I would rather not walk through a shopping precinct to watch a football match at a shit stadium.

Each to there own though.

Wood Green/Tottenham, it always makes me laugh when Londoners comment on “up north” towns when parts of London are just as ropey.

P⁹p

Oldham play at Boundary Park.

My bad - I did mean it', Boundary Park it's still a shithole!!

 

[urban genie]

Hull or Wolverhampton

walk out of the train station into dystopian landscapes

 

[MadchesterCity]

Always thought Preston had a particularly oppressive greyness about it with its brutalist bus station.

The bust station has been revamped

 

[yankblue]

I havent been to the stadium, but I have been to Luton. I cant imagine anywhere worse than that

 

[Banshee]

Milton Keynes was particularly grim

 

[idahoblues]

I thought Plymouth was quite nice but otherwise would agree. I'd put Peterborough on that list too.

I don't think Peterborough is a terrible place, just bland as hell

Never thought Hell could be described as bland.

Never thought Hell could be described as bland.

I grew up near there, been so many times. I diddled a girl there in a beauty salon

Nothing better than a revamped bust.

Barrow-In-Furness for a Rugby League was pretty grim too.

Ever been to Featherstone?

Salford.

Always very pleasing to look at the score board.

We all know the real answer is Trafford , it's only redeeming feature is the real old Trafford :)

Trafford is a nice borough. Alty, Sale, Urmston are all nice places, Trafford Wharf, the real Old Trafford, the best collection of schools in the region, the largest industrial estate in Europe and the Trafford Centre and surrounding attractions all adding to Manchester’s GDP… it just has that one blot on the map that brings it down.
