I know that Manchester like most cities has it's ghettoes and the like but i was wondering if any mancs actually concur to any particular area as the "ultimate sh1tehole"?
I visit there every couple of months or so and most i meet are neanderthal knuckledraggers (the white slave trade) so i usually only ply around the more pleasant areas like Sale and Nantwich.
Personally the likes of Moss Side seem utter filth tips and Hulme (is that a town? is unpleasant.I also had a incdient with a dead wh0re in stretford a while ago so those 3 are worthy of a mention.

The KFC with the bank type glass security screens I remember best,with a mcdonalds next to it, looked fairly bad, someone name it for me, loads of foreign types on the run into manchester.
Manchester is a virtual paradise. Salford however is home to Satan.
"dirty old town!" was written about salford originally
It was fine when I used to go to the Spinnin' Wheel.
4th street longsight is a proper sh1tehole mate
Well, Salford is rough but I was actually referring to the morally bankrupt and corrupt residents who make the trip to the borough of Trafford, along with legions of**neys, obviously, every other week
A friend of mine lived in Hulme for a while. He had nothing of value in his flat. He went out one night. Upon returning he found his flat had been broken into. They had nicked all his food!
I remember my aunt telling my brother & me as kids about a guy getting stabbed in a pub in Miles Platting. It was the early 70s and before people used to carry knives. I can recall the shock!
Cheetham Hill, Salford too. Don't really know South M/c well, but I know there are some hard lads from the North m/c and Bolton areas.
Hope this helps!

correction, it was the Twisted Wheel nightclub.
my dad grew up there and said it was a relatively nice area 40s, 50s, but said it wasn't so nice now. just wanted a second opinion.
LONGSIGHT IS MAINLEY ASIAN POPULATED,ALL SHOPS MAINLY SELLING FOR THE ASIAN POPULATION
Moss Side was considered to be an excellent area to live in the early part of the 20th century. Like anywhere, things change and wealth leaves some areas and arrives at others.
I was back in the late 60's early 70's pox.
Turned up at the TW one night and it was closed down, circa '72.
Had some great nights there.

Moss Side isn't as bad as people say.

dancing from 11-0pm to 7-30am. Monday mornings were a struggle to get to work.
To be fair, its no worse than any big city in the UK .
i am still into it today, was back then and still as much today its had a massive revival and is as popular today as ever it was
Saying that Manchester is a s***hole with very few nice areas.
Can't say I've spent a load of time in Moss Side apart from matchdays and the odd passing visit, but even years ago it was never the no go area that the media made out imo from what I could see. And now it is a lot better than some others areas
Gooch crew .. yep remember them .. they used to visit a lotta raves in wolverhampton too
shot one bouncers dog dead :(

mitchell i went thrugh all that as well, happy days
I live out in the hills now. Country folks view of Mancs is that we are trouble! That said, nobody has given me any sh!t at all.
It's a quiet area and the three incidents in the pubs that I've witnessed have all involved me! Not that I've started anything!

Anyone else think that Beetham tower is the ugliest blot on the horizon ever built?
Yes Donnie, Im not anti Manchester, but that building is Horrendous, it looks like something from the soviet block 1970's !
If you stand at a certain urinal in the bar in the Beetham Tower everyone below has an unobstructed view of your manhood
The building cost £150 million,such a waste, could of been great with that budget.

Never been to Manchesters rough parts.
I lived in London, and if I wanted to see neanderthals, I could go for a drink with West Ham fans or visit the Natural History Museum, as they were a lot closer than Manchester.
