It sounds delightful - I am picturing a small stream, ducklings, and tea rooms. .......... just going to have a quick look on Rightmove as I don't want to miss out. Think high crime rates, boarded up shops/houses everywhere and street after street of narrow, terraced houses. Think I read in the paper up there once that it's one of the most deprived places in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 1 bed flat in the Bristol Harbourside is going to be 10-20 times Grange Avenue. Many footballers have no brain, so this really is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger club, better wages, nicer city.... no contest. I agree but for balance you can argue that Cunningham and The Gashead Bodin moved from Bristol to Preston. I don’t think for one minute either of these footballers lived in Preston mind you. From what I’ve seen and heard about Preston ( been 3 times to the ground and have a friend who is a Preson fan) it’s quite run down, lack of amenities and shops either don’t have branches there or are closing down. Quite a poor place to live and needs regeneration, has attracted a lot of social housing people pushed out from other areas. The people are great though, very friendly just been dealt a bad hand lately. As for Daniel Johnson, always thought he had a great games against us. Mentioned to my friend that I would take him a year or so ago and she was surprised and said I could have him. She was a bit meh about him and he seems often out injured, but when he does have a blinder ( often against us) he was great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one has a absolute right to a Waitrose within walking distance. (I never knew until this thread how snooty Bristolians could be - real eye opener). Appreciate the statement you're trying to make. Unfortunately, large parts of Preston have been neglected over the years, so some of the areas have very high crime rates. Of course, some areas are also incredibly lovely - although most of which you need to drive quite far out of the city centre/away from the uni campus. I tried to find an article that supported my comments re Ribbleton: http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/lancashire-insight/deprivation/deprivation-overview/ "Lancashire's most deprived areas are in urban centres of towns in East Lancashire, Preston and Blackpool" "The IMD draws attention to some very severe deprivation issues in various urban centres in Lancashire that are among the most deprived areas in England. The county has a large number of small areas in the 10% most derived localities in England. " https://www.lep.co.uk/news/preston-s-most-deprived-areas-revealed-1-7516114 "It reveals that parts of Ribbleton are among the two per cent most deprived communities in England, while leafy Greyfriars features among the most affluent. The index of multiple deprivation, which takes into account income, employment, education skills and training, health deprivation and disability, crime and living environment, shows the 86 individual neighbourhoods in Preston and their ranking in terms of deprivation, compared with a total of 32,844 areas in England.

Meh Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Nothing wrong with Knowle West - unfortunately has more dicks per square mile than some other parts of Bristol but mostly decent people and gradually improving facilities.

The area around the stadium isn’t the greatest nowadays and parts of the city are quite run down but it doesn’t matter as a footballer as you just don’t need to live there. A lot of the players live in the Ribble Valley or in Lytham which have some beautiful areas. Quite a few live on Buckshaw Village as well, one of the decent new estates near Chorley. There’s loads of other factors when choosing a club and it might not matter really when we’re finishing above a lot of club from nicer areas season after season. Ultimately the main thing is just pay and we don’t pay that well in Championship terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I will say about our location is that it’s very helpful in terms of proximity to big Premier League clubs. Obviously it’s not that helpful in terms of attracting new supporters but in terms of recruitment young Prem players will come here on loan or permanent as it’s close to home. Ledson for example have moved back home to Liverpool since signing from Oxford, ex-Everton. Pearson, Harrop etc. probably just commute in from Cheshire.

Drew Peacock Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Looks like only two clubs interested, https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44898330 , presumably the unnamed club is us. If so and having signed Eisa we are no longer interested, it will be interesting to see how this pans out. Peterborough could be left with a dissatisfied player on their hands.
