looking for a property in sheff. which is the better area. shire green or longley and why?

Neither... Shiregreen's scary and Longley's run down.

Shiregreen or Longley?

Matey, you shouldn't ask which one is the best, you should ask which one is not the worst!

There are many Longley residents on this forum who can't resist making a dig at nearby areas such as Pitsmoor, Firth Park and Shiregreen...until they leave Longley that is, in which case they tell us how glad they are to see the back of the place!

Viva la North East Sheffield!

:loopy:

(Back to the point simon, you may like to try Firth Park instead)

*cough* Firth Park's just as bad as Shiregreen, if not worse *cough*

Only good thing about Firth Park is that it has a local bowling alley, and even that ain't really a blessing cos Firth Park bowling alley sucks compared to even the little tiny one at Handsworth much less the Hollywood Bowl at Valley Centertainment.

Maybe, maybe not, but as a compromise, let's just say it's still better than Longley ;)

Postcodes aren't all relevant. S11 also includes Sharrow and thats far from being somewhere I'd wish to live. I look for things like parks/greenery, low crime/ trouble, nice houses, quiet, lack of council housing, etc. This does include parts of S11 but also includes many others too, so please stop insinuating with every single post you make that I think S11 is the only place to consider.

Longley run down........I doubt that very much,I agree it has its problems (as does any area) sadly there are a number of losers that ruin it for everyone else.

Shiregreen Scarey........hmmmmm ill pass on that one

"As does any area" - maybe so, but surely you can see that some places have greater degrees of problems than others. Could you honestly say, for example, that problems such as arson attacks on cars are as big a problem in Fulwood as they are on the Manor?? Not snobbism before the accusations come - just fact.

And nobody ever gets their car half-inched or their house burgled in Ecclesall? Yeah right! You see contrary to your deluded views, Ecclesall is not perfect, YOU live there so that's one strike against the area for a start.

I live in sharrow/nether edge borders, s11 and I think sharrow is great!

I am proud to be part of sharrow!

It may border on innercity in parts, but, meh! One thing it has going for it is community spirit. just look at the size and success of the sharow festival as an example of community spirit...?

I love teh diversity of faithsand races... Christian, Moslem, Jew, Hindu, Pagan, Atheist..... (as just a small sample of faith among the community) Races... (counts on fingers) well I have UK nationals, Pakistani, Chinese, Bangladeshi, various African, Egyptian, Chinese, Somalian, and goodness knows what other races and cultures who all brighten up the community by their contribution to the diversity that is sharrow.

Where I am, is like being in the countryside. I have the joy of watching squirrels playing on my fence and in the trees around my garden. it's quiet, decent tenants and residents (on the whole, but meh, there's always the one exception, isn't there! LOL)

there are parks and greenery here in sharrow. There's a lot going for it.

There is virtually no trouble or crime where I am.
In fact it's like being back in my childhood, again, in the days where you could leave your door unlocked!

And the reason I labour the point (rather than insinuate) that you push ecclesall as being the only place to consider is that you yourself have set you up as the spokesperson for the "ecclesall is the only place to consider living in" party.

I love sharrrow, and actively chose it as an option when I moved, back here. As did my son and daughter in law, with my three grandbabies when they needed rehousing, recently. Sharrow was their choice.
It's an area where I don't feel afraid to walk along the streets.

It's a really nice place to live.

and I stand by my statements.... you are still a snob

(Oh, yes, and i realise i have forgotten to capitalise my proper nouns. Meh!)

I AGREED WITH THE "AS DOES ANY AREA". Its just naive to believe that all areas have the same level of problems... don't kid yourself FFS. Like I said..... does Fulwood have the same problems with arson attacks on cars that the Manor does? Come off it and wake up. No, Ecclesall isn't perfect, Fulwood isn't perfect, Windsor isn't perfect, nowhere is PERFECT. You just can't pretend that all areas have the same level of problems because it simply isn't true.

DaBouncer has done the same with Sothall yet no-one batters an eyelid. It seems like one's only allowed to be proud of ones' area if it isn't seen to be too "snobby".

How much have you shoved Ecclesall is the best and contended it's borders, been arrogant and snobbish with other forum members in comparison to me about Sothall?

Well I have never been snobbish about Sothall and it's borders. Contended the difference between Sothall/Beighton (as in they are two different areas) but never said one is better than the other. I don't constantly ram Sothall down peoples throats again and again and again. Nor do I refer to people as scum or no class/classless/lowerclass because they live on a council estate... YOU do that.

I live at on the ESTATE of Sothall... proud to say estate too. Unlike you... you don't like to have Ecclesall referred to as an Estate because it 'brings down the tone' of the area.

The reason people jump on your back t020, is because you are an arrogant snob who thinks he's above the rest of the people on here. The fact that we laugh at you and deliberately intice you to post your inate ramblings and delusions of grandure never seems to cross your mind.

If you apologised to some people you have upset and think about what you intend to post before you post MAYBE just MAYBE people will start to not jump straight on you or pick up on what you post!

You're still very much a child in mind with no 'real' understanding of the world or peoples feelings.

It's about time you took a long hard look at yourself!

It would be interesting to find out the amount of police cover per sq km in Ecclesall and compare it with the Manor say.

And I would like to see how much of the money which keeps a lot of these Ecclesall elite in luxury has been gained illegally using some loophole in the law designed to benefit the rich at the expense of the poor. Not a blanket accusation by the way, just wondering.

What a load of rubbish, no offence. I barely see police officers around here because there is barely any trouble - I'm sure the Manor gets more than its fair share of police cover, don't you worry. As for the Ecclesall 'elite' (not really elite, just mainly professional people who have worked hard to earn money), the only money keeping them in 'luxury' is that which they have earned through working hard in education and in their professional careers.

That's it then, it's the police who are doing the nasty stuff.

Thanks for clearing that one up t020:thumbsup:

Not a problem.

Shiregreen Scarey........hmmmmm ill pass on that one

I'd pass on it too if I were you. You can't even stand at the bus stop without some hooligans thumping the bus stop trying to provoke fights. Yes, this happened last night as Chris and I returned from Morrisons at Ecclesfield. We were waiting for the 48 to take us from down in the depths of Beruit (Lower shiregreen) to bellhouse road...

Now I'm not being funny or anything, but when we're in my area we are a hell of a lot safer.

Give it a rest. You talk as if Firth Park is the promised land compared to Shiregreen. Firth Park is no better than Shiregreen.. trust me I know both very well.

Neither are sparkling but neither are "conflict zones" as you seem to think Shiregreen is.. Shiregreen has it's ups and downs like most areas and I (infact most people) would feel safe walking through it any day.

You talk as if Firth Park is the promised land compared to Shiregreen

I most certainly do not!

My area, as I referred to it in my previous post, is Intake/Richmond... Definately not Firth Park.

come off it! Shiregreen ain't scary! you get idiots everywhere hanging about.
I'm proudto say I'm from the 'Green and visited it just this weekend - still looked the same to me :thumbsup:

Its scary for someone who hasn't been brought up there!

Longley or Shiregreen? er,let me think about that one.......still thinkin.........
