I see youāre as good with populations as you are with everything else Bazzaā¦
Belgrade: 1.3m
Berlin: 3.5m
Evissa is an island, but if you are seriously comparing places to Ibiza then there is nowhere on Earth that would live up to your high standards (which is strange, because you evidently set such low standards for yourself).
I think itās pretty funny that you bemoan Southamptons night life for not having a superclub, and then canāt give an example of a similar sized place with a Superclub in England. And then you prove you canāt do it even if you include Europe!! Youāre too much Bazza!
Its just a brand extension (20 other places as well were asked) and its still in the planning phase, lets see what comes of it, I laughed when he said Southampton has a vibrant club sceneā¦
Went to Unity taproom last Saturday. Lush beer right in the microbrewery. Dead cool. They are doing an alternative christmas dinner on the 14th, pairing food with different beers.
The population of Derby is 248k. The population of Southampton is 253k. So, they are basically the same in terms of size. The problem Southampton has is the nearby presence of London. London sucks the life out of the Home Counties and the South in general, all the way across to Bristol. When I was a kid I had a choice. A night out in Southampton/Pompey or a trip to London. If I could afford it, Iād go to London.
But Britain is full of towns like Derby and Southampton. Just think Norwich, Milton Keynes, Swindon, etc, etc. Theyāre all a bit dull.
Anyway, Bazza, what are you complaining about. Yiou live near Liverpool and, in any case, youāre going out days are over for the next few years now you have a sprog.
True. but it doesnāt suck the life out of Brighton? Iām spoilt in Liverpool but yes at 42 with 2 kids my best days are long behind me, I still give it a nudge now and again and feel it for 3 days, a few people I know run bars in the City, Liverpool really is light years beyond most UK ones for things to do, nights out, restaurants, hotels and culture.
Southampton canāt compete with the big boys but show some ambition, a bit like football really.
Punters have already said its shit, this is code for success in Southampton so expect this along with the authentic German Christmas market to become a featureā¦
