    Maybe the lack of a response says it all? Maybe?

    Where I call home doesn't make Barnsley any less of a shithole, nothing to do with being ashamed of it. Currently just outside of Lincoln, near Scampton. That doesn't change the fact that Barnsley is often filthy, often full of people off their heads on spice, or roaming the bus station asking for 50p. People seem to have taken exception to my characterisation of Barnsley as full of angry, bitter people. I'll leave my supporting evidence below.

    I'm quite happy to tell people I live in Elsecar (it's in my profile).

    I posted on a different thread that I haven't lived in Barnsley for over 20 years but I’m still proud to tell people thats where I’m from, yes its got run down areas but so has everywhere, yes its got druggies and beggars but so has everywhere, not saying its right just that its not exclusive to Barnsley. We’re always portrayed in the media as thick bigots, the underclass, but give me Barnsley folk over any others. It’s the people that make my home town home. It will always be home.

    Nor does it make where you live any better than Barnsley.

    Well I don't actually live in Lincoln itself, so for the most part, it does. There are nice places within the borough of Barnsley, Silkstone and the like, but the town centre, which is what the thread is about, is a shithole.

    What is the major town/city in your address ? Sugar coat it all you want, where you live has all the same problems.

    Sadly, most towns and cities in the UK (and, as I described in another post, overseas) are as you describe. Barnsley is actually better than most, and I enjoy going into town. My wife, who's from Germany and had no reason to defend the place, enjoys it too and can often be seen there shopping. We eat there in several decent restaurants from time to time, and we love the new meat and fish market which sells top quality food. It's a decent town with decent people, and your comments are an absolute disgrace.

    But that's not how it works. The major city in your postcode is Sheffield, guess you must live there. Bit of a silly argument. There are nice areas of the country.

    It really isn't. Why do you think the club has a similar number of arrests as clubs with huge followings?

    I don’t give two hooks what you think tbh as you’ve shown your a self centred person with a weak backbone and very dislikeable .
    The amount of people that’s done things for charity and the many more that’s donated tells me it’s a brilliant Town and glad your not here to burden the ambience l.
    If you get what you deserve in life you definitely have it coming .

    The people of North Kesteven will also have Lincoln in their address, thanks for proving it meaningless <3

    And your views are equivalent, maybe not the same but equally vile.
