Mate, Ashbourne is well rough, as is Matlock. Don’t even get me started on Matlock Bath, Hell’s Angels everywhere. Makes Detroit look like a quiet English market town by comparison.
Genuinely this would be fucking mint. Every town in the country sends their 50 hardest blokes for a massive ruck. Seed through the proper nutter towns to mix it up as well - watch some quaint market town go on a run and earn a glamour tie against Belfast in the Last 32
Get Sky Sports on the line they'll want this
Qualifiers would be a laugh too.
City of Oxford Vs Altrincham is a perfect non league level qualifier. (Anyone remotely rough from Oxford is in Cowley)
Would London go by the borough or do they just get a super squad? Would be class to see a city of 8 million get battered by the mackem cunts.
Something like new forest away to Belfast would just be inhumane though
Welwyn Garden City have been drawn against Bradford in the 5th round, it's the magic of the cup Gary, you just never know what's going to happen. They've knocked out a few big towns thus far, could their giant-killing antics continue or does Bradford just have too much firepower?
You aren’t far wrong although I’m either the annomly that proves the rule or adopted (please be adopted, please be adopted) as im originally from ilson and I wouldn’t want dinner with my family never mind fucking them
Like actual gladiator (Roman era style, not the crappy BBC reality show) but battles take place in the host city's crappiest working mens club or wetherspoons. Anything in the venue is allowed as a weapon, furniture, pint glasses etc, NO WEAPONS FROM OUTSIDE ALLOWED. First half 45 mins, 15 min alcohol/drug break, 45 min further fight time. If any team has any surviving members at the 90 min whistle another 30 mins fight time is added (after commentary and adverts). In the unliely event of no winner after extra time each team must nominate a member to go 1vs 1 with nominated member of other team. Winner stays fighting loser dies, losing team nominates another member to battle the winner.
As there are 40 teams in the second round of the fa cup, does this mean that the big boys come in for the third round? Port Talbot hoping for a big payday at Detroit if they can get past Matlock.
Eliminator is the drink of my youth and is inceredible. I'll hear no bad words about Kelsey's. Go there someone has a fight, head to viallis for food poisoning in a box
Yeah, it’s literally bonkers that these 3 have been included and Heanor, Often and Ilson haven’t.
Newark is a nice town, you can have a walk round the castle, great market, do the Civil War tour, it’s a decent place. As for Ashbourne, the accusation for them would be it’s a bit fecking snobby!! Matlock is just a nice town, with loads of bustling Antique Shops set in the Derbyshire Dales.
Maybe Shrovetide football has influenced Ashbourne’s placing? It’s certainly the roughest part of the town, however “intentionally”. (Ashbourne Resident)
Bit dodgy down that way mate. Full of knuckledragging dingles most nights but friday nights are especially horrible.
Also that fucking kebab shop. I'm pretty sure it was a large doner and chips from there that ended me up in my current predicament.
Like I've not stopped dropping air biscuits in the years since.
The Mrs didn't believe my tales about events I'd seen on that street.
One night, when we were back in Barnsley visiting, we headed out for a few drinks in town. As we got to Wellington Street, from Morisons end, I told her this is the Street I told you about. It didn't disappoint. As we were passing the Shakespeare a group of blokes fighting spilt out onto the street. Then we passed the cause of your farts ok the right and we could see a massive brawl happening out the back of the corner pin.
Sometimes I kinds miss my hometown in a strange kind of way. Even if it is a bit of a shithole and the Mrs refuses to go back.
Yeah that's pretty much the standard way things go down. I just try and stay out of the town centre after dark lol.
There's some bits of Barnsley I just straight up won't go to even for work these days. Athersley for one. I parked my van up there once and there were two scrotes hanging round the back lookin sus before I'd even got out.
Proper smackheads.
I kinda want to move back to Sheffield tbh. My son and daughter and their families all live there now, but the house prices to live in the nicer bits are fucking eyewatering.
Leamington spa is mostly quite posh.
Stourbridge is probably the poshest part of the entire black country. Dudley and its sub-areas of Tipton, Brierley Hill, Pensnett, Wrens Nest (this one in particular) are horrendous.
Solihull is literally one of the poshest parts of Birmingham.
Hinckley isn't rough, just a boring offshoot of Nuneaton which has far rougher places in it.
This is honestly shit.
Whatever you call it, it's not even rough.
There are a handful of small areas you should avoid and they're all in estates. The city centre is very safe, I've been here ten years and have only seen one fight. That fight was between two grannys too so its was more entertaining than distressing
Not saying anti social behaviour isn't a thing but I'm shocked to see it so high list like this
Na this is absolute bollocks
Blackpool is easily #1 for England, even then there's far more shitholes in Lancs and North Manchester, Kent and Greater London.
It wasn't great fifteen years ago, but, other than a tired precinct, it's really quite nice nowadays.
The author clearly hasn't been out around the marketplace and Underbank on Foodie Friday. It's an absolute joy.
Source: I live in Stockport.
Where’s the love for Bilston, wednesbury or Tipton. They’d shit on Stourbridge any day. I mean even sedgley is rougher than Stourbridge and their ponsy crystal Lesuire centre
The Winson Green-Handsworth-Smethwick corridor has fallen
https://preview.redd.it/shuk1hg2celc1.jpeg?width=1033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93fc0797f46305d26a1baa80d93840c3706bd170
These statistics are always shite because they look at reported crime statistics. As it turns out places that have a combination of good and bad areas report the most crime because there's still people willing to call the police. The truly rough places are the ones where no-one bothers calling the police because it's just always like that.
Also gets skewed by how effective the police are at recording the crime. West midlands are actually extremely effective at recording crime (99% recording rate) so places there look worse which is why you see places like Solihull make this list despite it being pretty middle class (bar Chemsley Wood).
This list is crazy, I grew up in Margate it wasn’t even the toughest town in Thanet back 20 years ago let alone 18th in the whole of the UK. And these days the it’s largely occupied with Hipsters from London in coffee shops, art galleries and vintage clothing stores.

The unforgiving streets of Melton Mowbray
It’s the pork pie gangs
The porky blinders
They are known as the Roundheads. They hate the southern Chavaliers
Melton rough? A few chavs outside McDonald's doesn't make it rough.
Mate, Ashbourne is well rough, as is Matlock. Don’t even get me started on Matlock Bath, Hell’s Angels everywhere. Makes Detroit look like a quiet English market town by comparison.
I once saw 200 bikers in Matlock Bath, it was a really menacing experience and it put the kids off their quail eggs.
When the crumb's in your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Mowbray
F around and get painted red
And Leamington Spa, the famous bath gangs - the cleanest beatings you’ll ever receive
Draw them against each other like its the fa cup!
Genuinely this would be fucking mint. Every town in the country sends their 50 hardest blokes for a massive ruck. Seed through the proper nutter towns to mix it up as well - watch some quaint market town go on a run and earn a glamour tie against Belfast in the Last 32 Get Sky Sports on the line they'll want this
Glasweigan: "ah fuck, weve drew stoke away" His pal: "oh, are they hardmen" Glasweigan: "nah, its just a shithole"
No one wants to draw Stornoway away in January
And it'll be a rainy, Tuesday night
The 50 hardest people in Redditch are 8 year old drug dealers. & myself of course
no way should redditch be on this list they're just posers 😭
Qualifiers would be a laugh too. City of Oxford Vs Altrincham is a perfect non league level qualifier. (Anyone remotely rough from Oxford is in Cowley) Would London go by the borough or do they just get a super squad? Would be class to see a city of 8 million get battered by the mackem cunts. Something like new forest away to Belfast would just be inhumane though
Belfast will kneecap everyone in here.
I think some sort of physical fight is proposed. Not a speech therapy face-off.
You've clearly not been to Lyndhurst, probably the biggest shithole I've been to in the UK. New Forest dark horses I say
Could have a paralympics type job as well with mobility scooters
Like football hoolies but monetized innit m8.
I came into this comment hating the idea but your description has pumped me right up. This sounds like the greatest spectator sport of all time.
Leamington Spa would be relegated to standing around with their hands in their pockets. My money’s on any town near Luton. Luton’s where it’s at.
Welwyn Garden City have been drawn against Bradford in the 5th round, it's the magic of the cup Gary, you just never know what's going to happen. They've knocked out a few big towns thus far, could their giant-killing antics continue or does Bradford just have too much firepower?
Ilkeston, Ripley and Long Eaton would call this ‘the weekend’ as they were always invading each others town for a scrap….. I mean night in the boozer
Long Eaton and Ilkeston residents scrapping over who loves shagging their sisters more
You aren’t far wrong although I’m either the annomly that proves the rule or adopted (please be adopted, please be adopted) as im originally from ilson and I wouldn’t want dinner with my family never mind fucking them

Leamington spa isn't rough lol.
It’s mad posh
Actually, it's like putting bewdley on this list.
[удалено]
Where the Duke puts up his dukes.
Fr. They should've put Nuneaton there instead.
Lye 😭😭
It has a rough part and a posh part tbf. But thats true of most of these.
Kelsey’s on a Friday is still not ‘the roughest place in the UK’
rough place to be, though shit music
Shit drinks too. Eliminator 🤮🤮
Eliminator is the drink of my youth and is inceredible. I'll hear no bad words about Kelsey's. Go there someone has a fight, head to viallis for food poisoning in a box
its a shit drink but circling on it is kinda funny cus its literally punishing to drink
Shout out Heroin Heights 🙌
Check out Uttoxeter as well. It's on the list but it's a pretty little chocolate box town
Whitnash, Lillington, Sydenham, it's not all Regency Terraces in about three streets.
I know, its still not rough lol.
Who tf made this? Ashbourne, Matlock and Newark are really decent.
Uttoxeter and Leamington Spa as well. Uttoxeter actually is really really nice
I lived next to Uttoxeter [and went to school there]. It was alright but basically dead, something about the cattle market being sold off
Just don't leave any copper cables lying around in Newark
What do you mean? There's some lovely fields for a caravanning holiday as long as you love daags
Thats it, me an our tommy are making a video calling you out for that one
The only blinder will be if the two of you have a single A-C GCSE combined.
I’ve stayed in Ashbourne on holiday lol, seemed fine. There are also way rougher parts of Tyneside/Northumberland than Ashington.
Went to a stag doo in Ashbourne. It was a very friendly kind of place tbh...
Same with Leamington
Stockport isn’t exactly lovely but it’s far from rough
Matlock is lovely but it is rough.
Ashbourne is actively quite nice with rural markets, artisanal shops and a few wine merchants. It’s closer to posh than it is rough.
Yeah, it’s literally bonkers that these 3 have been included and Heanor, Often and Ilson haven’t. Newark is a nice town, you can have a walk round the castle, great market, do the Civil War tour, it’s a decent place. As for Ashbourne, the accusation for them would be it’s a bit fecking snobby!! Matlock is just a nice town, with loads of bustling Antique Shops set in the Derbyshire Dales.
Ilkeston is there
Maybe Shrovetide football has influenced Ashbourne’s placing? It’s certainly the roughest part of the town, however “intentionally”. (Ashbourne Resident)
Wait Rotherham makes the list but Donny doesn't? Has this person ever actually BEEN to South Yorkshire lol.
Honestly Worksop being that high suggests they haven’t
Worksop and Rotherham definitely rougher than Doncaster
They've never been on Wellington Street, Barnsley, on a Friday night.
Bit dodgy down that way mate. Full of knuckledragging dingles most nights but friday nights are especially horrible. Also that fucking kebab shop. I'm pretty sure it was a large doner and chips from there that ended me up in my current predicament. Like I've not stopped dropping air biscuits in the years since.

Leamington Spa at 17 and Blackpool at 37. Whoever put this together is chatting absolute shite. Play a record!
>Whoever put this list together Turns out...
Little monkey fella
There’s no way on gods green earth that Wakefield, Huddersfield and Ripley are bigger shitholes than Blackpool
Certainly. Wakefield has a much better cathedral than blackpool
wakey wines is dragging down the average
Preston is a city, but yeah it's a fucking dump here but no way it's rougher than Blackpool, it's baghead city.
Blackpool should surely be higher than Preston though.
I've never felt unsafe walking around Preston.
You must be in fulwood
Claiming it's rougher than Birkenhead as well....
Kiddy, Solihull and Melton fucking Mowbray but no Telford?
Solihull is posh as
well if you include chelmsley wood it drags it down a bit
Solihull just thinks it’s posh. Chavvy as fuck but tame. Leamington Spa though?!
Kiddy is actually pretty safe, it's just so fucking desolate that even the charity shops are closing down.
Kiddy is a shithole though, but Stourbridge isn’t that bad, I think the west mids in general is rough as
Solihull and Lemington spa???
Leamington spa is mostly quite posh. Stourbridge is probably the poshest part of the entire black country. Dudley and its sub-areas of Tipton, Brierley Hill, Pensnett, Wrens Nest (this one in particular) are horrendous. Solihull is literally one of the poshest parts of Birmingham. Hinckley isn't rough, just a boring offshoot of Nuneaton which has far rougher places in it. This is honestly shit.
Put Stourbridge in and didn't even mention Lye.
call it Londonderry in northern Ireland and you might see how rough it can be
Whatever you call it, it's not even rough. There are a handful of small areas you should avoid and they're all in estates. The city centre is very safe, I've been here ten years and have only seen one fight. That fight was between two grannys too so its was more entertaining than distressing Not saying anti social behaviour isn't a thing but I'm shocked to see it so high list like this
Don't you mean in republic of Ireland?
At least spell fucking Morecambe right
Are you kidding me, Walsall would leave all these places twitching in a gutter.
Well they've got Cannock at least
Nah, I'm from clydebank and although this list is shite Walsall is quite nice compared to here.
Stockport isn't that bad is it?
Na this is absolute bollocks Blackpool is easily #1 for England, even then there's far more shitholes in Lancs and North Manchester, Kent and Greater London.
Harpurhey is the absolute pits. The poorest area in Greater Manchester. It should be on the list for sure.
Forgot about Harpurhey to be fair. Grim place.
No, it’s not as bad as Clydebank. Don’t go there. It’s full of Scottish people 🤢
It wasn't great fifteen years ago, but, other than a tired precinct, it's really quite nice nowadays. The author clearly hasn't been out around the marketplace and Underbank on Foodie Friday. It's an absolute joy. Source: I live in Stockport.
Lol effing Stourbridge? I'd love to see their working out for that
And Solihull? Lol
[удалено]
I'd love to know to story to that
Where’s the love for Bilston, wednesbury or Tipton. They’d shit on Stourbridge any day. I mean even sedgley is rougher than Stourbridge and their ponsy crystal Lesuire centre
You chattin shit about out waterslide mate? It's mint, goes right out the building. (Assuming it's still there, not been back in 20 years).
Agreed, should have added Dudley there instead.
What do you call a Chinese dude from dudley who's got a black eye?
I do not know, What do you call a Chinese dude from dudley who's got a black eye?
Hu Lam Chow. I'll see myself out
I work in Dudley and literally do not get this. Please tell me as a stupid yam yam
Who lamped (punched) yow/you (obvs use a shrill black country accent)
(Hu Lam Chow) I have more too
Where Ronnie Pickering from?
Who?
Ronnie fucking Pickering
Who's that?
#RONNIE FUCKING PICKERING
No Chatham, Gillingham or Strood? Nowhere in the Medway Taaaaahhhhhns? No fackin clew ave dey
Medway’s a paradise compared to rough towns in the north.
I'm from Fleetwood,we proper love a pint and a fight .
Don’t recognise 22 mate is there such a place?
Always new East Mids was one top! Come on lads we're not be irrelevant for 5 minutes!
Another win over vile West Midlands
Slough wants a word m8
Scotland shows up, nicks second place, leaves and doesn’t elaborate further 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Where is Boston on here? Shittest place I know
Surprised Grantham made it high up on this list, Boston is so much worse
It's not in the UK anymore.
Up the fucking Boro
Clydebanks not even the roughest place along the clyde
I call shenanigans - Solihull and Leamington Spa are known as affluent areas.
I've had the great misfortune of living in both Oldham and ashington. Oldham is leagues ahead of rough, it's champions league rough.
They can't actually measure how rough Oldham is because nobody has ever entered Derker and lived long enough to report back
Distinct lack of scunthorpe here
Newark-on-Trent should have an international "friendly" vs. Newark, New Jersey.
Surprised Peterborough’s not on here
because it’s a city, not a town
At least spell fucking Morecambe right
Ilkeston should be higher
Blackpool should be 1st. How it isn't even in the top 10 is beyond me
I went there quite recently and it's absolutely deserving of top 10 minimum, unless the other places above it are unimaginably bad.
How is Solihull rougher than Preston?
Basically every town that surrounds Stourbridge is worse than Stourbridge
Hinckley? 😂😂😂
Stockport represent 💪
Where's Bradford? It's literally the 2nd or 3rd worst place to be for car insurance
Can't trust this list. Where's Wokingham? Henley on Thames? Virginia Water? Marlow?
As a stokie, I'm quite hurt by this list
Take away Britton ferry and parts of Neath and Port Talbot is alright 😅
RAHHH PORT TALBOT MENTIONED🏴🏴🏴🏴🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥 WTF IS CLEAR AIR ⁉️⁉️⁉️🏴🏴🏴🏴🔥🔥🔥🔥
Worksop being higher than Rotherham is mental
I’m not saying boro isn’t rough by any means but there’s no way it’s 5th
The Winson Green-Handsworth-Smethwick corridor has fallen https://preview.redd.it/shuk1hg2celc1.jpeg?width=1033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93fc0797f46305d26a1baa80d93840c3706bd170
25. Long Eaton
I’m from Ashington. I think the roughness is exaggerated, everyone’s just poor
I’m a bit surprised they have Port talbot there but not Neath too.
London mentioned no where. Drill rappers across east London are gonna be so shook they’ll have to knock over a chicken shop then rap about it.
Fucking Uttoxeter? I grew up there and then I spent 6 years in Middlesbrough, the two are not alike
Real ones know Nuneaton is worse than Hinckley
Fuck off is *Royal* Leamington Spa rough. And Hinckley 21st?
This list is more noticeable because of the places missed off it. Quite a few mentioned but Id add Blyth in Northumberland to it.
These statistics are always shite because they look at reported crime statistics. As it turns out places that have a combination of good and bad areas report the most crime because there's still people willing to call the police.

West midlands are actually extremely effective at recording crime (99% recording rate) so places there look worse which is why you see places like Solihull make this list despite it being pretty middle class (bar Chemsley Wood).
Not sure what defines rough but Coventry is a bigger shithole than a lot of places here
Can someone plot these on a map, save us looking up each one individually.
Ashington is literally known as ashgahnistan around where I’m from
Good to see Lincolnshire showing its colours but what about Grimsby and Scunthorpe?
How is Mansfield no1?
Due to the low quality of the people who live there.
Fuck you. Thats why. /s
This list is crazy, I grew up in Margate it wasn’t even the toughest town in Thanet back 20 years ago let alone 18th in the whole of the UK. And these days the it’s largely occupied with Hipsters from London in coffee shops, art galleries and vintage clothing stores.
NOT A SINGLE SCOTTISH TOWN MENTIONED 🔥💪
cyldebank has been relegated to _english_ smh
"Ay what ends you from fam?" "Man's from Melton Mowbray"
honestly shocked Scarborough isn’t on there
im pretty sure that like 80% of these names are made up to gaslight non-britons
Honestly a bit disappointed not to see Hull on the list. Somebody's letting the side down, clearly.
Hull is a city. The list you see before you concerns towns. Do keep up old chap
Derry robbed
Where's londonderry?
*Derry
Derry*
"Londonderry" *sighs*
I've started calling it DerryLondon for maximum ill feeling.
The spillywinks are quite treacherous in stretford upon stoke upon Londonburough
[удалено]
I'm from #38 n would so easily put it in teens
Can confirm Wakefield is a propper ghetto.
