Sometimes it's better to say 'I got it wrong'. It will give you a lot more credibility. Your post was provoking towards the people of Leek and has made you look a bit silly, in my opinion, as you've said that nearly 30k people want culling. All of this because they were celebrating England getting to the semi final of the world cup. I'm hoping you're better than that. Seems it's got all blown out of proportion now. I wonder if it would have been as bad, had it been any other place in the UK. Anyway you seem like a level headed guy fish, and it seems like my comments have unintentionally stirred up a bit if a hornets nest, so I'll take it on the chin and learn from experience. Is that a come down on your part?

Maybe the people slagging Leek off can tell us all what the people of the magnificent city of Stoke-on-Trent have done to make the World Cup more enjoyable. I think I know - fuck all! A bunch of people justifying their existence by mimicking an inferior WC song and posting it online? Nah. That said I think it's incredibly short sighted of SCC to have not put anything on in one of the parks, or somewhere like the cultural quarter, it really wouldn't have taken that much organizing or financing. I'm not sure of the legalities of screening a BBC or ITV broadcast but it doesn't look like it's troubled any of the councils ,plike Nottingham, Brighton, Manchester, Newcastle, the boroughs in London. Sadly, a large screen in the Cultural Quarter is just a recipe for disaster. England win, everyone goes home happy. England lose and the knuckle-draggers ensure that Hanley gets smashed up. Not a great deal of cost to host it, but from a Risk/Reward perspective, just doesn’t make sense, sadly.

I quite often get asked what it's like where I come from and I've always found it quite hard to describe Leek. Now I can just show them this video It's coming home!! Anything planned before the match on Wednesday in Leek? I'm not sure sorry mate. I grew up there but moved away some time ago. Family still there though so will see what I can find out

I think it's brilliant, off the wall and mad but brilliant. Well done to whoever organised it. The one really funny bit though was right at the end when the music stopped but the video carried on running and everyone just stood around not knowing what to do. A bit like when you're dancing at the Southbank Hotel or the Winking Man and the music suddenly stops and you carry on dancing for a second or two and then stand around embarrassed waiting for the next tune to start. Oliver's for me (complete with those weird, usually out of date, bottles of foreign beer) 😂 That did seem to happen with alarming regularity at the Winking Man didn't it

I know what I quote you bell end. But you can kiss my dogs ring before I have to explain anything to you knob head. So you can't/won't back it up? So I'll stick with my opinion that it's made up bollocks and you're full of shite. You probably haven't even got a dog....... I’m concerned as he knows a lot about a dogs ring piece 😱

They've even got their own Facebook page imaginatively called 'Mamba Heads of Derby'. Have a scan if you want a laugh. I'm suspecting the zombies don't actually run the page.

The difference is that the people in Derby match the city and are dull and miserable, the people in Stoke are much warmer and friendlier and remind me of Sheffield. I'd consider myself relatively impartial as I live between the two!

I’ve seen all the comments about Leek and really couldn’t give a shit , we know we’re a bit “special “, but if you come here and act like a decent person then you’ll make friends for life and never be short of a drinking partner. However, if you come and try to act all billy big bollocks and generally act the cunt then you’ll soon be shown the way out of town.
I was part of vindaloo yesterday and it was an absolute pisser.

I'd consider myself relatively impartial as I live between the two! This is bang on. I even sometimes mistake people from Sheffield as Stokies when they speak. Derbyites with a few notable exceptions (Sarge) are miserable buggers. When I moved here 38 years ago I used to say hello to people walking to work in the morning and they'd look at me as if I'd just shit in their shoes. Miserable fuckers.

Even more alarming was the Lake Hotel on a Saturday night when they bussed birds in from South Manchester. Moss Side. Scary.
