It's a bit of a difficult subject. Depends on if you are looking to buy or rent and how much you want to pay. I mean if you want to buy an expensive house then there are posh areas like Royds Avenue with some very nice houses.

There are often houses to rent in the Willows Lane/Ormerod Street area. It's not bad up here. Houses vary in size, mostly terraced. It's a racially mixed area where people get along well with each other.

However, it's the wrong side of town for the Field of Dreams!

theres some decent avenues on the ribblesdale estate (council) one or two dodgy but handy for the Crown n Town, was probably the best estate in accy long ago, but still some ok n some nice folk up that way, hope that helps.

It's within reach though. Hey, maybe they should relocate up here - Bullough Park ?

Would you really want a football league ground near your house, though? All those people trooping up and down Willows Lane. Then again, it'd be just like old times on Sultan Street for you!

WillowTheWhisp · 11-01-2008, 09:45

Ah the good old days in Sultan Street - I remember my Mum saying lets get back from shopping before the football lets loose or it was like swimming against the tide trying to get up Sultan Street when they were all coming down!

Wouldn't most people head off down Ormerod Street though? Make the exit locations to direct them down that way and my problem is solved.

I shall advise Eric Whalley of your requirements, should the need ever arise!

WillowTheWhisp · 11-01-2008, 11:10

Can I have a special area in the stand with posh seats just for me and Busman? (We could have a tunnel direct from the house!)

Oh dear, sorry Kev, this isn't helping your house hunting is it?

Wynonie Harris · 11-01-2008, 12:03

I'm sure Eric would be happy to oblige!

Just to get back on track, Kev, maybe you should consider Clayton? Quite a lot of terraced houses, so there may be some for rent, it's handy for the ground and some good boozers, too!
