Championship table of house prices in the postcode of a club's ground

[1973Blade]

I saw this on a Facebook page. I thought we'd be a bit higher to be honest, certainly higher than Burnley! I guess at least its one table where Wednesday are above us!

 

[JustLookin]

Middlesbrough. What a shithole.

And the only surprise is that Hull came so high.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Wednesday took £300,000 to Rightmove.

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Blows my mind you can get an average priced house for under 100k in Middlesbrough.

 

[JJBlade]

It's obviously taking the entirety of S6 into account, because the immediate area around the stadium is a shithole. S6 in general is an expensive area,
The fact that S2, a very central area of Sheffield is so low is typical of the shithole that the local council has made it.

M2, LS2, L2, would be some of the most expensive properties in their respective cities due to the central location, but this doesn't work the same way in Sheffield

 

[103SecondsOfMagic]

Imagine spending extra to move from Oxford to Bermondsey

Wow £250k to live on the grim potholed streets around Ewood Park.

I think it might have something to do with the "locals" that live in S2!!!. Another area fucked amongst many many others.

 

[Keen Blade]

Posh pigs , eh ?

 

[finlaytheblade]

S6 takes in good locations like Stannington , Loxley and areas around that which are sought after.
Go up Herries Road and you hit S5 ( parsons Cross etc) which Is totally opposite.

Worked up there a lot .. trust me it’s no surprise

 

[S64 Blade]

S2 does include a number of the poorer inner city areas - Manor, Arbourthorne, Wybourn etc. So I’m not overly surprised.

I think Bramall Lane is only 1 street away from being S1 and the wrong side of London Road from being S11, so it quickly becomes a very different story.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

The main question I have from that, is why would anyone live in Luton at those prices?

London commuter belt. 3 bedroom semi round here much more expensive yet similar time to get into London

 

[Newbury Blade]

I lived a short walk from the New Den, very handy, if dangerous, when we won 4-0 or Rotherham scored six there. Sadly, I sold the flat before the Bermondsey Boom.

S10/S11 are some of the most affluent postcodes in the country and are right on the doorstep of the city centre so this “argument” doesn’t really work. House prices very high in Kelham Island too down in S3.

This may surprise you but Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester all have deprived inner city areas too. The average house price in L2 is £30k lower than S2.

LS2 is right next to the hospital and universities and M2 is part of Manchester City centre so comparing apples and oranges.

S2 is quite a large postcode and doesn’t just cover the streets immediately round Bramall Lane, it takes in Manor, Wybourn, Hyde Park, Arbourthorne, Heeley etc. A mix of large “council” estates and terraced streets.

I grew up in S2 and didn’t find it to be the “shithole” you think it is.

Clearly he doesn’t like students…

 

[103SecondsOfMagic]

I parked right near the ground for the 4-0. I noticed a Blades window sticker on the car parked in front of me which made me think to take my own sticker off for this particular away day. Got back after the game and the car in front of mine had been trashed by the angry locals! Hope said Blades managed to get home somehow

Proud S2 lad here as well- I wonder if ‘JJBlade’ would enlighten us on which affluent area he resided in to call someone else’s area a ‘shithole’…

I didn't say they didn't
But the City Centre area of a major city is like gold, and the local authorities of other cities ensure that it remains that way as best as they can.
And yes as an S10 man born, bred, left and returned I know all about S10, S11, S6 and S17, but they really don't compare to South Manchester districts edging into Cheshire, and they don't compare with North Leeds suburbs either, and they certainly don't compare with the better areas of Southern Cities.

You can be in S5 and a 10 minute walk from the sty or in S6 and a 20 minute drive.

I spent 2 weeks working in Stockton many years ago, so not Boro itself but the wider area. I remember it being the most miserable place I had ever seen, and at the risk of sounding like a complete prick, I actually felt quite sorry for the people who lived there. The place simply had nothing going for it and the whole town centre was depressingly rundown (although there aren't many places that are different now).

I stayed in the Swallow Hotel and my main takeaway from that experience was that there had probably been a lot of swallowing done in those rooms over the years, and for a very reasonable price.

Every city "centre" has an abundance of small/old/dated properties. A lot of people don't want to live centrally if they can afford not to. Noise and crime etc.

I don't know Sheffield very well, but I've never noticed much difference between Sheffield and anywhere else in England.

 

[blade too long]

only houses near wednesday are on Bickerton Road and Leppings Lane be lucky to get 350k for 3 of them together

and S2 has some very expensive apartments

Depends on whether your main takeaway was a pizza or an Indian

I’ll start with Fielding Road……..

I think the people are as decent as anywhere else.
A property is valued by market demand, and that is driven by schools, restaurants, bars, universities, hospitals, types of employment opportunities, transport links, road infrastructure etc.

If 50,000 people want to buy 5,000 properties due to all of the above, the property will be expensive.
S2 has some good bars and restaurants and good road and transport links, but it falls short in many other areas

S6 and S10, and especially rural S6 and S10 has shit transport and road links but has many of the other features

Thanks for the memories Crookes.
Mrs. Pittsburg was born on t’Arbourthorne, mi’old Nan lived in a two up two down in Heeley, and my formative years were spent in Hyde Park Flats. I used to play for Crookes CC as a teenager. Seems a long time ago now..
I was always told not to mess with the kids from Wyburn or Manor at risk of losing a few teeth.
