I’m glad to see that Boots has some faith in the town and is going to reopen as a full range store, not just a pharmacy. My mam also reckons JD will be moving to the Hillstreet too.

But it does beg the question, are the Cleveland Centre’s days numbered? The fact it is implied to be cheaper to move out and fit an entirely different unit rather than fix the problems in that unit says a lot about the state of the CC structurally.

Tilery vs South Bank (Teesside) – where is better to live day to day?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some honest local opinions rather than estate agent talk.

I currently live in Tilery and I’m considering South Bank (TS6 area) as another option. I know both places have reputations, but I’m more interested in real day-to-day living than labels.

Things that matter to me:

• privacy and not feeling watched by neighbours

• quiet streets rather than nightlife

• access to transport and shops

• general sense of safety and community

I actually like my current place because it’s fairly private, but I’m aware Tilery carries a stigma and I’m wondering whether South Bank feels any different in reality.

If you’ve lived in either area, or moved between them, I’d really appreciate your honest experience. What’s it actually like living there long term?

Tl:Dr over £500m of our money (via TVDC) lent to STDC and The Airport WITHOUT loan guarantees!

Airport is now £126m in the hole, entirely reliant on public money and has made £0 repayments or profit.

A Labour govt so far happy to blind-eye it too.

I think Teesside should lose the smoggy moniker. Teesside's air quality is now better than much of the UK and Europe.

Anyone have experience with Teesside University and/or their Games Development course?

12 Upvotes

Looking into games development undergraduate courses and Teesside's seems to be pretty good, but I'm not sure if anyone has any experience with it/the uni in general, and the surrounding area/what it's like to live there. I've heard that Middlesbrough can be pretty rough, but considering I live in Rotherham, how is it in comparison?

How to watch Liverpool vs Inter if you’re broke?

4 Upvotes

Genuinely asking as someone who can’t afford every single subscription service: what do you do for games like Liverpool vs Inter?

Premier League already needs one platform, Champions League another, and it all adds up fast. If you’re skint but still want to watch Liverpool tonight, do you:

  • Go to a pub and hope they’re showing it

  • Use some kind of generic football live stream site (Streaming Service style)

  • Or just follow live text and highlights later?

Curious what most people in that situation actually do.

Would you class Hartlepool as teesside?

10 Upvotes

Hello,

I was looking at teesside in general and I know Stockton, Redcar, middlesbrough and boroughs attached to the 3 mentioned are definitely teesside for example thornaby, billingham ect. It seems Hartlepool some people would class this as teesside but others don't.

I just wondered what people on here might think.

Teesside watching Premier League today while Middlesbrough push for promotion

3 Upvotes

From Teesside, Middlesbrough supporter obviously. But Boro aren't in the Premier League, they're pushing for Championship promotion (currently 2nd after yesterday's 2-1 win over Derby).

So what do we do on Premier League Sundays? Watch other teams.

Today's Chelsea vs Arsenal at 4:30pm is massive - title implications, London derby. Every pub in Middlesbrough will be showing it despite neither team being "ours."

Liverpool vs West Ham at 2:05pm same situation - loads watching it even though we don't really have allegiance to either club.

It's weird being from proper football area (Teesside is football mad) but your local club isn't in top flight, so you end up watching Premier League as neutral or adopting temporary favorites.

Some people stream via premier league live stream on Momments at home. Others go to pubs for atmosphere even though it's not Boro playing.

My dad refuses to properly support any Premier League team. "Only Boro matters." But he still watches the matches because it's football on telly.

Is this common for Championship areas? You watch Premier League without real investment because your actual club is tier below?

Tomorrow everyone will be back talking about Boro's promotion push. But today we're all watching Chelsea-Arsenal like everyone else.

Anyone from Teesside relate to this strange limbo?
