  • I think its the ones who live in the worse areas E.g the north of the city seem to slag it off the most i live in a nice area so i like living here.

  • Let's face it, Wolves City Centre is a dive! Having said that, I came here thirty-one years ago from a very comfortable existence in the home counties, and I wouldn't go back there even if you paid me.

    Why? Because midlanders are so much more open and friendly than southerners; people here have got the time of day for you, which is a damn sight more than you can say for those in the south of England.

  • all towns in england have become cloned towns all look the bloody same .

  • No council seems to get that the shoppers with money want to come in by car and the city centre isn't car friendly. Parking is too expensive and other shopping centres draw people in with free parking.Even if you do want to travel by bus they keep digging up the bus station and that means pavements get crowded with queues making it a pain. The cities fine but the various different councils all seem clueless and don't look after the traders so it's gotten a lot of closed shops.

  • I don't think Wolves is an especially pleasant place to live and I've lived all over the UK. It needs a lot of investment. It seems to have become more and more run down over the decades that I've lived here. There's not a massive amount of things to do and see here beyond the shopping/drinking. That said, hopefully it'll get better.

  • PEOPLE WOLVERHAMPTON IS GREAT! DONT DIS WHERE I LIVE! WOLVERHAMPTON EVEN HAS A SONG! WOLVERHAMPTON GIRLS PLUS THAT VIDEO WAS MADE 2006! WOLVERHAMPTON HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN AND MUCH BETTA! I walk pass the varsity to get to the bus stops to get my bus home from town with my mates.

  • @chazolock. I found your descriptive verb quite offensive. It's not the language I would use in public or private of any place. Kinda defines the type of person YOU are and on that basis, I'd say that Wolves would be better without you rather than me. I appreciate the place and try to improve it in my own small way rather than slander the place I am proud to call my home town.

  • I grew up in Wolves then moved to London in 1976 where I lived for 20 years in 4 different areas.  I moved back here 10 years ago and believe me - the quality of life is so much better here than in London. I still have to drive down their a couple of times a year - and it's getting worse there by the day. Traffic is a nightmare, parking (if you can find a space) is expensive, and to rent a 2 bed flat (no garden) is around £1200 a month - forget about buying! Wolves everytime for me!

  • why the hell to i continue to live in this filthy shit-hole.

  • @chazoclock  ......,maybe because you're part of the shit! Towns are what those living in it make of it.

  • @wtc175 i used to love it here but now it's gone down-hill, take another cheap shot if you wish, people like you are why it's gone down-hill. the only way to make something good out of wolverhampton is remove 60% of the residents.

  • YES wolves compared to Iraq/ Afghanistan/ Israel and other war zones - Wolverhampton is a pretty decent place!

  • It's what you make of it!

  • i miss my hometown,,,,,,,,, i was born there, but i moved 

  • i live in pendi! it roxx! go king's skool!

  • I've lived in Wolves da majority of my life and I have to say it's grating on me now.

    Gah too many derelict buildings, unoccupied shops and what not.

    I prefer heading to Walsall and Birmz caus at least there I can gurantee I can find what I want in da shops.

    Now that the bus station is closed for redevelopment, da city centre seems even more hectic.

  • @UptownYardy to many phone shops lol

  • @babycat967 Loool yeah and they're all near each other.

    I heard the Summer Row project may eventually go ahead which is about time.

    Thou somehow I doubt it will any time soon, so we'll be left with all those empty derelict shops and that damned building where Netto used to be.

    Only good thing about Wolves is the gigs at the Wulfrun/Civic Hall.

  • @UptownYardy i no the street by mcdonalds is bad for them lol theres a new virgin media shop my boyfriends a right pain i say one more phone shop and im going home there all the same i say may not be same supplier but same models same prices to mostly lol the town a while back looked not bad when they did it up with flower beds and stuff but the thugs wrecked them remember now we got a thug proof fountain handy if your walking the dogs past 4 a drink or a nice pic yes civics good well the gigs

  • @UptownYardy it was a good few years ago them shops got boarded up because one shops bricks and slates nearly fell on passes by its a right eye saw now i wish they'd knock nettos down but the benefits place as a disability section thing there one good thing that i liked about nettos is lol its Scandinavian 4 de value i had to get it in bus stops are littered every were at the moment its chaos they only did it up a few years back what a waste of tax payers money

  • @babycat967 Been a good few years caus the city council's inept.

    Hell it was proven our money was wasted during the building of the fountain.

    Hell even the Bus Station project looks ill-thought out judging from the plans, as the buses will have to enter it from the ring road only and its smaller (area-wise) than the old one some buses may have to park up at the coach station.

  • @UptownYardy i posted u this look on express and star online news u can just search summer row its bad news

  • @babycat967 Well as I mentioned b4 it could still happen.

    Sez that a bunch of new developers are waiting in the wings for the current developers to pull out of the deal this week.

    I hope the new developers bring back the plan to build a cinema there as part of the plans.

    Can't be arsed catching 2 buses to go Bentley Bridge for the Cinema.

  • @UptownYardy me either to many idiots there to i got in fight last time in there didnt see no film only good thing is oranges pay and get one in free

  • Did you know the traffic lights in the first minute of the video were the first automatic traffic lights in england, thats why they're painted black and white stripes like the old style. the church is also the oldest building in wolverhampton. just some facts you could have put in your tour.

  • @mumblesmashers saint peters is cool i been to top scary lots of steps

  • @mumblesmashers saint peters is cool i been to top scary lots of steps they had a memorial book4 princess diane there

  • i lived in wolves since i was born,,, now i moved to plymouth north from here and i miss it but it is quite messy some of the times :/

    Good Old Wolves !! :)

  • @Lozie2001 2 right its a dump i live here the market should be closed dwn

  • fascinating :|

  • i live in wolverhampton is and its not a bad place theres the countryside, lakes, parks, entertainment establishments, university and the proud history its just the selfish wankers that live here (heath town)

  • @Leothegreat i live in shitmore reans lol

  • Comment removed

  • its funny.. i see a lot of brummies complaining on here that wolvo is boring yet Brum is a load of shit itself?

  • @LetsGoNutsWithMarko Brummies would see Wolvo as being boring, there arn't nearly as many shootings as there are in Brum

  • @eldospinks true lol we get a fair few though to

  • @eldospinks We're catching up now thou.

    Hell Bilston feels like South-Central LA at times with police helicopters hovering overhead every couple of weeks and ppl gettin merked nuff times this year.

  • look at my video of some drunk yam yam swingin his handbag in wolvertrampton

  • I used to live in those flats they came out of !

    Above difusion clothes shop and next to the feline and firkin pub ! On bank holiday about 15 years ago we had a BBQ after an all nighter at club uk midland and burnt most of the roof off !!!

    Those were the days !

  • Yeah, try not to go down broad street ! Also it leads to heathtown :(

  • i live in blakenhall. bin here all ma life but gota say it is bare boring. theres hardly any place to go. only the town centre but thats gone pure dry now aswell.

  • Like the rest of the country these days...it's a crap hole.

  • Wolverhampton is one of the best places in England. The people are friendly and we look after each other here. Anyone saying crap about Wolvo are all tw**s. A lot of negative comments are probs from people who havent even been here. So they're basically bullshi**ing. Fair enough the team wasnt fantastic but its better now, since last season. But apart from that and the sheer ammount of immagrants taking over ASDA + the parking space problem, there really is nothing wrong with wolvo.

  • meh, there's of lot of dodgy teens in the town center

  • i ve been living 2 years there and i ve travelled to other cities in uk and its the shittiest city i ve been. What s nice with wolverhampton? even my grandmother would be bored there

  • BOLLOCKS

  • weeey say we are premier league say we are premier league lol , yh its full of goths and chavs etc, and a dumbass postcode rivalry lol wtf. btw v3 lol

  • i never said it was uncool.

  • whats cool about it?

  • Royal London! Haha, cheap Tuesdays.

  • I've lived there for over 9 months and i know every corner and every pub in Wolver....god bless whisky....greetings to every woman who wanted to fuck me...I'm from poland by the way...lol

  • It's funny looking at people either insult or defend Wolverhampton. It's either shitty or it's "not that bad". I was born here, but will be moving once I finish up my degree in a couple years.

    I don't feel the need to insult it, nor to defend it. It honestly makes no difference to me. It's a nice size and contains all the things I need. I keep my horses about 3-4 miles from the town centre down off of the tettenhall road. So really, it isn't all bad.

  • take it you guys was bored lol

  • arrrr u showed ma nan n grandads pub it was the white on near the end !!!

  • ahhh hello ma nan n gardad have a pub in wolvo i love it i no its crap thoww

  • she looks like a girl who were at walsall campus as group leader or something like this in summer 2006 with Natalie and other girls... Is she?

  • Nope. I only lived in Wolves for about 6 months and worked at the Bullring in Birmingham. This was Winter 2005.

  • Wolves isn't a shi*hole at all. Compared to a lot of places in England it's a great place to live. Everything you could ever need is right here in Wolves. I'm a wolves lad and proud of it. An all the derelict buildings?? Whats that about, if you walked around you would see that the whole city is been renovated, wolves is on the up :-)

  • I know! The place grew on me, I have to admit. I think I had only been in Wolves for a couple weeks when this was taken and fresh off the plane from California. I didn't know my way around! I can't wait to come back to Wolves and see how much it's changed.

  • lol! compare to what?

  • Comment removed

  • erm this is from 2006 u shud see all the goths and chavs in it now

  • I was born in wolverhampton and spent most of my life in wolverhampton and i can't wait to leave its full of chavs now. 50 years ago it was great place to live its now over populated and immigration is too high..

    ps i'm not against immigration just high immigration

  • I was born in wolverhampton and spent most of my life in wolverhampton and i can't wait to leave its full of chavs now. 50 years it was great place to live its now over populated and immigration is too high..

    ps i'm not against immigration just high immigration

  • Wolverhampton is dull, boring and grey.

    I cant think of a worse place to live.

    If you have ever spent a week in bristol, you will know how much of a shit hole wolverhampton is.

  • thumps up! People that say wolverhampton is nice probably havent gone anywhere else how sad lol

  • Wolverhampton is a horrible place to live, Half of wolvs is abandoned with derelict buildings, there is Little work prospects unless you like factory life.

    Nightlife is rubbish unless your a chav. There is no real countryside for miles.

    I just think that wolvs is a boring average town, with nothing new or innovative ever happening. A place were senile old people should go to die. Its just so grey, so dull and so boaring. Most of the people who live here have never left the place.

    shity city

  • I was an oversea students from HK and used to live in Wolves for 3 years in the early 90s. Its not a shithole at all...I kind of like being there.

  • Wolverhampton is the place to be

    i live in bushbury

    also known as wv10 killaz!!!!! and yam yams lol

  • Comment removed

  • naa man bushbury is bad man than r way better

  • twat

  • fuk off u prik

  • Wolverhampton is NOT a shithole. There is a few parts of the City that are tbh..

    But where I live Finchfield, is a lovely area.

    I'm proud to live in Wolverhampton.

    But yeah, as a Wolves fan I support them. But as said, they are shit.. :\

  • Wolverhampton is pretty shite and the team is infuriatingly crap but it's my home town so big up dem babbies! We're going up this season...

  • Wolverhampton is not a shit hole! the Football team is shit!!!!

  • how much are they making a big fact of the america/england thing... its basically the same anyway

  • Who is the Freandly and Pretty  Girl, Who shows me Wolverhampton

  • wolvos brill!! =]

  • Coool, on Tuesday.

  • ruturd1- thankyou for posting this. I hope you had a good time in Wolverhampton and the UK (I am British and studied at Wolves shortly before you)Wolves is certainly not the most impressive city in Britain, and people here often run it down- theres some justification for that, but I hope people also recognise its good side. Anyway, thanks for posting.

  • I studied in Wolves for a while. It seems to me that sometimes people can be too negative or alternatively; too defensive of any given city. Wolverhampton has a number of good things to offer but also has its share of problems.

  • All i remember is the drunken fights, followed by more drunken fights! Followed by racist abuse! The availability of good skunk made it bearable!....Just!

    PS Stay away from Broad St!

  • Thats unfortunate and I agree with the Broad St comment- most disgusting street in Britain- but maybe the skunk affected your reasoning on everything else?

  • Na mate! It helped me stay calm when confronted by the lunatics that inhabit the hole known has wolves!!

  • Awesome its wolverhampton the best city on earth :)

  • God you're extremely retarded and annoying...why didn't you show some interesting bits of Wolvo...or for that matter any of it...half of it was your annoying shitty American accent whining on about where you buy your food making you fatter.

    YOU SUCK!!!

  • Because it was my first couple of weeks in Wolves and I didn't know my way around. The video was made for my friends back here regardless. And of course I talked about food, it's so different and the major thing I noticed on my first couple of weeks there. Cheers for your input :)

  • ruturd1- I feel obliged to apologise for the insults of James1096bz (he is an embarassment, though I don't know him)- im sure you know not all British people are as rude and xenophobic as him. Best wishes

  • Cheers! Yes I met some wonderful British people the year I live in the UK. In fact, the Brit in the video is now my fiance and we're getting married in 3 months. We've decided to settle in California but will make a point to visit the UK at least once every year or two. I have to admit, I really miss the place (and people) sometimes!!

  • rutard1- Thanks. And Congradulations!

  • HEY HEY HEY (repli 2 james1096bz) YES wolverhampton is a shit hole, but YES we do love it and NO dont take it out i on the girl filming

  • its still a hellhole lol and yet im still here hmm...

  • the guy sound pretty hot...

    but i live in wolverhampton so i have given up hope meeting a hot gentleman!!

    unless he's a true outsider... and gay! ha!

  • I live in Southampton now, sorry. I might be back at Christmas 2007 though.

    Regards,

    Lord Swarthey.

  • hahahah next to caspian u can c broad street amusments, i have spent bout £10 playin street fighter in there even tho i have it at home :S lol

  • when me and my best friend go to my nans we ALWAYS go to wolverhampton. like looooadsa times. cus we loove it sooooooooo much...

  • Is this mike? Did i buy a nintendo wii of u

  • You might be giving it the "oo we'er so arty" but you walked past a theatre without so much as a "this is the uni's theatre", if that's an exuctive cut then fair enough. But you didn't miss Greggs... you're American... they sell donuts... you didn't miss Greggs... I'm doing that weighing up hands/pulling a sceptiacl face thing right now.

  • i like the american accent but is she as hot in bed ?

  • Oh my God thank you thank you thank you, i haven't seen Wolves in 12 years.

    Love that city!! going back last week in August, to stay i hope i can find a job. LOL

  • thanks for bringing back a part of my past!

  • WV1 SOLDIERS!!!!!!!!!

  • lolz nice vid but ideve loved to see u take the camera to heath town a mile up the road, wudve got nicked straigt away

  • ive lived in wolverhampton 28 years i guess im bored here

  • this video only seems to show the nice bits of wolvo if yo0u did this video on the outskirts of the town the camera would have been stolen

  • My home town, lived there all my life til last year, my roots, love the place!

  • Omg thats like the best plave to live!Love the royal might see u there tommorow ;)

  • Unfortunately we're out in California now! Do miss the Royal London tons though but possibly not the weather. Hoping to make a visit later this year!

  • wolverhampton is a wicked city, the best city in the whole of the midlands.

  • are you kidding, man?

  • what a place who needs new york !

  • Wolverhampton is not a crappy place, have you been to stoke?

  • HAHA! Such a cool vid. One of my faves yet! Loved it when you said Wolves is such a "crappy place"! Be thankful you don't have to live here, like me! More please!!!

  • i live there

  • What a fucking shithole!!!! Boing Boing 4-2 agg - Que Sera Sera, what ever will be will be, we going to WEMBERLY que Sera Sera. ALWAYS shit on the old gold and black!!!!

  • Oh dear!!! What was acore at wembley? And who will lose all there players in summer? Nevermind!!

  • Ahhhhh Home.

    Left Wolverhampton a few years ago now

    thanks for the memories

  • why didnt u film by molineux or any toher places. I love wolvo and love livin in it but is begginin to become a shithole. Just not safe to walk around there anymore.

  • Well, I had just arrived from California and all that walking around was tiring me out! I used to live about Revolution Bar, it was so much fun! I meant to go back and film some more but I just never got around to it and now I'm 5000 miles away so it'll be awhile before I get the opportunity.

  • I can't believe how crazy those buses are, man...outa sight.

  • Awesome! I haven't been to WLV for over a year but this video recalled so many good memories! Why don't you head towards uni and SU! Thanks for that!!

  • Oh I'm back in the bay area, California!! I filmed this at least a couple of years ago now - can't believe it's been that long. I've heard the place has changed somewhat. I did visit the uni and SU quite a lot while I was there though, had some really fun nights out at the SU.

  • Many thanks for your video to recall my memory there.

  • awesome!

  • I used to live here too but left 10 years ago, quite a lot has changed! Thanks for doing the video :)

  • She's cute.

  • Lived in good old wolves for six years and this video brought back many good memories!

    COME ON YOU WANDERERS!

  • Quite interesting video, really, I liked it, but you should also show stadium, university, Oceana and some other places to get a full view of Wolverhampton :) Cheers

  • Lol- im watching that and im like- I walked down there! Ive been in that shop! lol

  • i live in wolves i must admit it was ok at first but is now becoming just as dangerouse as birmingham.there have been a few shootings around me and also where i work,the road is often cornered off after shootings and stabbings.

    if i had the money i would be straight outta here

  • It's funny seeing Wolvo on video. I am from there and lived there till 1997. Even though I visit it still, it's funny to see it like this.

  • I live 5 mile out of wolves.

  • u missed out the 'man on the horse' u zoomed passed it and filmed subway!! LOL, hilarious

  • Test

  • thats what im sayin

  • Wolverhampton/Walsall might be a crapholes and thats the governments fault in my opinion but at least we are the most genuine, friendly people anywhere in the world. Californias are just fucking weird. I feel like smacking half of them with their nasally shit. Have a nice day.

  • Your jokeing right!?! The people are inbred or all the schools are run by thick dildos!

    About as friendly as a kick in the nuts more like!!!!

  • lovely wolverhampton 79p for a can of tennents super

  • wolves I acutally miss it at the moment as I spent about 16-17 years living there (basically grew up there). The Vairsty I remeber. The one way you pointed was where if you walked far enough down you would have ended up at the ol lighthouse cinema and go into heath town.

  • Wolverhampton is fine, just like any other town. All of the put-downs are so tired and cliched.. why don't we just accept it the way it is and get on with life? It's not a shit-hole, just has some shit residents but so does anywhere.

  • As someone who lives in the Midlands, I can personally say that there is nothing wrong with an American pointing out what a dump Wolverhampton is. Regardless of which country you are from, turds smell the same in any nose.

    I'd personally like Wolverhampton to be struck off the list of Black Country areas. It gives us a bad name. It's like Triblinka without the work-ethic.

  • Rather than just calling it a dump and picking a few choice places from our lovely town, why dont u actually tell us why it is such a "dump"...

  • Sometimes when you looked out of our kitchen window you could see Chavs peeing in puddles. Unpleasant. Anyway, I took that video when I first moved over form sunny California, completely different than what I was used to. I ended up living in Wolves for 6 more months after I shot the vid and I have to admit, the ole place kinda grew on me.

  • Liar! You know u hated the place. I hated it too, so that makes 2 of us who think its a dump.

  • Yeah this video must be really old, it has changed quite a bit now and i've never seen that TK Maxx sign outside O_O TK Maxx is inside the Wulfren not outside... I didn't see either of the two GAME stores either, what's up with that? They're the two best stores there lol. Also i don't appreciate the American girl calling Wolverhampton a dump, it's not as nice as other places like Birmingham or London, but it's definately not dump, i've seen far worse places *cough* Walsall, Bilston *cough*

  • This was taken around January 05, 18 months or so ago, so I would certainly hope that some things have changed. As for my calling Wolves a 'dump', well, it is. Just because Bilston is worse does not negate this obvious fact.

  • you dont look like californian

  • And what, pray tell, does a typical Californian look like?

  • suprised you did nt get your camera nicked

  • the ambulances and police park up in the town centre to cut down on the response time to street robberies and assaults,they just wait for crimes to happen,and they don`t have to wait very long(would be funny if i was joking but i`m not!)

  • please film Chapel Ash. Former student now in Taiwan.Pete Jones

  • LOVE wolves.... might look like a shit hole but its home sweet home

  • How come you didnt show the molineux!?

  • I got tired of walking haha. I was still getting adjusted to anything-but-a-car transportation.

  • I think someone has vide-taped the city before, but they were just stupid chavs abusing people. This video is much better :-)

  • Thanks :)

  • I heard Wolverhampton is a shit-hole town, somewhere in the UK. It looks it.

  • Ah yes it has it's quirks but the place grows on you. Still, it doesn't beat California!

  • yherp it is, total shit hole. NOTHING good can possibli b sed about the town, but 4 sum veeerriii strange reason it is the most amzing place i have ever lived :/

  • wierd when you're actually in wolves watching it...cool

  • gotta love good old wolf town :) has changed loads though!

  • Asda is not 80 miles from where you were filming!!!

  • It was sarcasm.
