Hanley has a cultural quarter, why wouldn’t he live there…

It might be that he feels at home there especially if it's similar to where he lived before The important thing is he's happy and plays well for us

I’m surprised he lives up Hanley but not surprised he doesn’t live in suburban England. He’s from a country with a high density living generally and is young so you’d think would want to be close to things. A flat in Manchester would make sense. He has an apartment in Manchester, on the edge of the Northern Quarter. Maybe he just chooses to be nearer the club when we’re training and goes back to Manchester when he has time off?

Probably then which makes total sense. He’s often posting videos of him walking around Hanley so I never got the impression he thinks it’s a bad thing.

Oh right, sorry. Wychwood Park is only 6 miles from Crewe as opposed to being 8 Miles from Nantwich, though it does depend which part of Whycwood, and by the same token which part of Nantwich/Crewe, but if it helps I will in future pay a lot more attention to detail, sorry If I upset you. Not at all I'm more confused by why Nantwich is held in such significance. It's on loads of road signs that don't even mention Crewe yet Crewe is miles bigger. Definitely not upset though more curious. Answers on a post card. Nantwich is significantly nicer

Yeah if he’s happy let him live in a crack den in Smallthorne for all I care…..

Even someone from Mariupal in Ukraine would reckon Hanley looks bloody awful. It needs a huge bomb dropping on it to improve the place

There’s some great spots up there and attitudes like yours are the real problem.

I've dealt with the department who sort out accommodation for players in the past and managed to secure housing for a couple of players. They normally would take on a lease for 10 months and then if didn't work out would put another player in till end of season. Prior to them getting fixed address the club have put them up in Hotel in Hanley. Same for Port Vale.

Can’t say I go there for anything even though it’s on my doorstep. I tend to go to Sandbach, Winsford, Northwich, Congleton on manoeuvres. No Spoons in Crewe or Nantwich 🤣🤣🤣

There’s some great spots up there and attitudes like yours are the real problem. Seems like your attitude to the town is exactly opposite to your attitude to the football club- interesting! As far as you can compare town centres to a football club, I would say the club is in fact much better run and maintained than Hanley, which is a complete dump

My attitude is the same. I wish the people would do more to help both.

Yes Hanley has gone to the dogs in places but it's not a complete dump, far from it. It just needs some time and money spending on it, just like Sheffield has, Leeds has, Nottingham has. It's far from a lost cause but the main issue is people with attitudes similar to yours (& the lack of public transport links).

Awful place, left to ruins by poorly ran local governments.

I know there are some great small businesses that deserve loads of credit but come on, are we really saying that it's a safe and well-functioning town? Are you also saying that my attitude is a bigger problem than the monkey dust epidemic, for example? In other words, noticing some serious issues and mentioning them is more problematic than the issues themselves?

Even when Hanley was a magnet for pubs,clubs and general shopping 20 years ago it still used to get slaughtered by its public It’s what Stoke-On-Trent people do and then they wonder why outside investment is not forthcoming and it gets slaughtered by outsiders If its natives can’t shout its positives why should anybody else? Anyway we’ve been down this road before so let’s get back on track

A fair bit of money was spent creating The Hive at the back of the Potteries centre and now look at it - 5 out of the 7 units are now totally empty and there's no one ever there. When it was first done it looked nice and brought a bit of the Manchester/Leeds/Bristol-esque culture to Stoke and now it's dead. Culture has a very hard time thriving in Stoke. I bet the same will happen to the new canal development after a few years too. It's almost like us Stokies don't want nice things

My young `un would never go to Hanley for anything and that includes shopping.
