The East Midlands Skybar

[PAC_MAN]

There really needs to be a Derby and Northampton thread. Theres no point having the smaller towns as Sticky's as it would become too cluttered.


....If your reading this Gothic !

stick to the official facts and figures given by census and government sources, dont make up your own

If you're going to write 'fact' after making statements, I'd check the figures first

Nottingham UA (266995) + Notts CC (748503) = 1015498
Leicester UA (279923) + Leices CC (609579) = 889502

If you include Nottm, most of Gedling and Broxtowe(not the villages which aren't connected), the Hucknall wards of Ashfield and the West Bridgford Urban area of Rushcliffe you end up with about 530,000. Long Eaton sort of joins on to Gtr Nottm though doesn't it so that's takes it up to about 567,000.


For Leicester if you include the City + only the immediately adjacent areas not inside the city boundary such as Birstall, Thurmaston, Thurnby, Oadby and Wigston, Glen Parva, Braunstone, LFE and Glenfield you end up with about 410,000 population.

These figures all from the 2001 census.

Exactly

[braunstone geezer]

your talking bollocks, check ur figures again

leicester is bigger in population than nottingham

leicestershire is bigger than nottinghamshire

accept it

[braunstone geezer]

people from nottingham are so afraid of leicester, scared that they might lose the crown of east mids capital, news flash guys, ur not the capital, leicester is as it has a bigger population, making leicester the capital, bad luck

[braunstone geezer]

something alse for u to chew over nottingham

people from leicester, birmingham, liverpool, glasgow, norwich, london, cardiff, swindon, brighton, plymouth, skegness, blackpool, dublin, belfast and every other town, city, village and hamlet outside of nottingham and notthinghamshire couldnt give a fuck about ur shithole city or any other city apart from there own,

u will not convince anyone that ur city is the biggest or best (cos its far from it) people have an inbuilt loyalty to there own city that no other person will change,

even if u dont like the city u were born in (like me) you will still defend its honour

so wake up and stop being so insecure about ur wank little town with no high rises (what the fuck u doing on a skyscraper website anyway)

leicester is bigger in every way, and its the people that make a city great in my eyes, so u definately lose there

skid, fact,

Yet again my "massive chip on the shoulder" theory stands up..

Statistics don't always tell the truth. As i have said before City of London population 7185. I don't know if you have ever been to London but it is a bit bigger than that. Just because they use the word "city" and a certain invisible line to mark out a border it doesn't mean that this is how big London is. Nottingham happens to have outgrown its previous City boundaries but currently the population figures only include whats inside the old boundary whereas places like Manchester, Liverpool etc now have population figure based on their Metropolitan area. This is currently being reviewed and ammended in Nottingham and possibly other citys. So when the next population statistics come out stating the Nottingham Metropolitan area has a population of 680000 it won't mean that the City has grown by 400000 in 6 years it will just mean that a new way of measuring a City's population has been used. I would also imagine that soon Leicester will do the same and the Leciester population will be 400000+. But will this then upset you as you won't have any meaningless facts to boost about!!

sorry nob head but i was so bored by reading the first line of your crap reply above that i couldnt be arsed to read the rest,

i assume u put ur hands up and admitted that leicester is bigger and better than nottingham in every possible way,

thats cool, i accept ur defeat, dont worry about it too much, nottingham mite one day catch up wiv leicester, but until that day,

ur still second best

[braunstone geezer]

please will every one who wishes to argue wiv me read my messages carefully, especially the bit where i state that no one can convince anybody that there city is the best, it just wont work so dont try

[Skid]

I've put the link up for the Census figures. Are you blind as well as stupid?

As Leicester claiming to be High-Rise capital, yes it is the first to have a proper skyscraper but Nottingham has 61 listed High-Rises (there are also around 10 existing buildings extra need adding) Leicester has 30

http://www.skyscrapernews.com/cities.php

As for people, I don't like to make sweeping statements about one cities being better than another but I've only known one person from Leicester (I used to work with) now he was a right tosser - fact

[danz013]

This is crackers... getting ridulous...

Notts guys... take a look at this... found it on the net...

Hey people seems to be getting a bit out of hand here!

Please read post number one of this thread...

None of our cities are better than the other, they each have good and bad points. Bigger, smaller - so what! It is the quality that comes out of regeneration that counts in the end.

Think how we compare to cities in Europe and further afield. Unless we work together, the region will suffer.

Sorry i have now learnt my lesson. I've just realised that your about as much benefit to this forum as a kick in the face.

Your either a joker or stupid, Braunstone eh (perhaps both)...

Heres the EM...

[braunstone geezer]

talking of stupid ben77, isnt notts famous for its queens hospital?

oh and well done on that one by the way, one of only two things ur famous for and its a hospital, good work. ten points if u can guess what the other thing is.

but the main thing queens is used for is when normal people suffer brain injuries they are then admitted to queens where they are treated and turned into retards and, judging by posts from some of you, released into the local community.

[braunstone geezer]

skid, am i blind as well as stupid, ha ha, your mam.

ive read ur links and it clearly says leicester is bigger in every way, so i win again.

your clearly another product of the queens spag unit.

in recogognition of the valuable work for retards at the queens medical centre i officially rename nottingham

mongole city

congratulations citizens of mongole

[braunstone geezer]

i have just received some info from a citizen of mongole, it says 'mongole city, formely known as nottingham, is the biggest user of kleenex tissues in the whole world'

a spokesman confirmed 'newley named mongole city is indeed the biggest user of kleenex products, we can only assume it is due to the fact that they dribble a lot'

Nottingham may not be the capital of the East Midlands.

But at least we know what a capital letter is.

[Stefan88]

This thread is pretty shit to read now. Im not going to comment on anything after this until we talk about something INTERESTING!

Fuck the Nottingham Vs Leicester arguments there boring now. Face it both cities are superior to other like Leeds, Birmingham etc that we always try and compare ourselves to.

[danz013]

so what do you guys think of that skyvault thing as an icon for the EM?
