    In the turnstiles, then between someone’s washing lines on the way in!

    Horrible place though

    It's a working class town in a middle class part of the country. There are far worse characterless dumps : Crystal Palace, Milton Keynes, Bournemouth

    I actually like the Kenilworth Road ground, except the portacabins down the touchline but the town itself is a ****hole and has had its identity stolen and I wouldn't want to live there, or London for that matter.

    I found it unpleasant, although I’ve never been to Milton Keynes

    Leicester is unusually dull and featureless. Been there several times , never found owt of interest. Affluent enough but dull as.

    I had 2 students working for me. One from Huddersfield and one from Warrington. Both could if chosen unis elsewhere but came here. When I asked what decided it they both said one look at the uni and speaking to to other students here and it was sealed.

    like i said earlier

    how is a city judged?

    on it's estates? well i'd rather be in an hull estate than a glasgow or london or manchester or derby or birmingham or wolverhampton and luton

    hull has one of if not the best old towns i've seen in the uk bar maybe edinburgh

    very close proximity to stunning countryside, but also beaches

    the marina and the area around it is absolutely incredible, it's a shame it took so long for the renevations to take place

    plus we ain't surrounded by another 10 cities in close proximity like hell holes of wolverhampton and the like

    it's got it's flaws
    mostly the council

    but it's a good city

    and the university has one of the most stunning buildings in the uk

    Hull has its own sudden elegancies. People are slow to leave it, quick to return. And there are others who come, as they think, for a year or two, and stay a lifetime, sensing that they have found a city that is in the world yet sufficiently on the edge of it to have a different resonance
