St Helens

EDIT: I'm presuming you mean St Helens in Merseyside/Lancashire. There are actually two. One's darn sarf somewhere *spit* :p

Yeah I was born and raised in St Helens, I moved back here in December last year after seven years away in Southport.

It highly depends on which part of the town you're in tbh. There are decent parts (relatively speaking), and there are... economically and educationally challenged areas. :o

Stay well away from Parr, most of Clock Face, Fingerpost and Derbyshire Hill. The top end of Haydock is decent (where the racecourse etc is), and the higher end of Newton-le-Willows is decent [whistles and looks at location].

For example, I live in Newton-le-Willows in a detached house. My neighbour is a manager at the local education authority and her husband is a teacher. My sister on the other hand, for reasons beyond my ken, chooses to live at the other side of St Helens in a street worthy of Shameless and her neighbour's highest qualification is an ASBO.

It's a highly industrial town by nature, but is expanding in the retail and managerial sectors year on year. There are definitely plus points, and the town itself is OK, just be wary of certain areas as I said. Economically it's growing as well as can be expected, and the educational, public and other facilities are very good in my experience.

Anything else? :p
 
I live there, unfortunately.

Even though I'm in one of the best areas of the town (Dentons Green), I still can't wait to up sticks and move elsewhere.

If there's anything specific you want to know, just ask.
 
There's only one team so far this year who's got any silverware in the cupboards, a repeat of last year too! :D

Though i wouldnt want to move back to my home town or St Helens!

Three successive Grand Final wins and you're still lagging behind Saints in the Super League era. :p

Out of interest, who did Leeds beat in each of those three Grand Finals? In addition to Saints having won the most (joint with Leeds, I'll have you know), they've also lost the most ;) (joint with Wigan and Bradford)

But we've won the most, so who cares? :D

Looks like it'll be yet another Saints-Leeds final this year. Time for a bit of payback!

You seem to be confusing Grand Final victories with Super League trophies, good sir. ;)

Well there's only one that matters :)

League Leaders (which I'm assuming is what you meant by Super League trophy) isn't worth a thing these days, and you know it.

Besides my grandad was of Yorkshire blood so I'm a halfbreed anyroad. haha

EDIT: I've already emailed the OP with a detailed description of where not to go in our fine borough. ;)
 
I used to live down the road from St'Helens, has some nice areas and some bloody awful ones, avoid the areas mentioned above.
I despaired when shopping there, some of the morons walking around make rednecks look like college professors:D
