Remember, the cotton industry was not based around Manchester for no reason - its wet!

Great city but Leeds is a more manageable size and you've seen nothing until you've seen the grandur of the dales and the stark beauty of the north York moors.

If you crave disappointment move to Widnes. If you wish to live in a place of pure beauty and wonder then anywhere in Yorkshire will do. Apart from Bradford maybe. Halifax is home to the undisputed Greatest Rugby League team on earth, although not SL. But Huddersfield is very near by and has a very sexy stadium. Hull has two clubs in SL. Just come to Yorkshire. Y'can't go wrong (again with the exception of Bradford).

How sad you have this dislikle of my native city. I would be upset if it had come from someone whose views I had any respect for..

it's merely high humidity.

I see the new year has made no difference to the bitchiness on here.

How about a few quick resolutions guys? :-)

Forget Leeds and Manchester. Chester or York

Fantastic history, many areas of interest and big cities nearby.


Good luck

[The Future is League]

For any Aussie Rugby League fans wanting to move to the UK , i would say move to Leeds.

[Optimus]

What work are you after?
Leeds or Manchester for RL
York and Chester both great options too.

[markleeds]

York is great for shopping and entertainment.

Leeds is great if you are a student or on a hen/stag do or standing in bars trying to look so cool you have forgotten to actually enjoy yourself.

[southstand loiner]

LEEDS would be the perfect base for you as there are many super league teams withiin public transport commuting distance . short let rents tend to be cheaper than london and even manchester .the city centre is more concentrated than manchester .
job prospects in leeds i would venture are also better depending of course on what you want to do but there is a strong financial services sector which is always looking to recuit and of course there is a steady stream of bar or hotel work with leeds been one of the major clubbing venues in the country'
then of course theres the yorkshire dales only a short distance away which are the most beautiful part of the country to visit .

try looking online for employment oppotunities in leeds or west yorkshire to see if they suit your skills then look at rental market for places to stay . avoid south leeds or harehills at all costs.

of course if you move to leeds you would see the super league champions and with luck world champions on a regular basis and enjoy the vibe in the world famous south stand at headingley .

there is quite a large anzac community already in the north leeds area so thats another plus.

If you don't go to Leeds, Manchester, or Liverpool, then you should move to Bristol, as its a lovely city, you could watch the 2 Bristol Sonics amateur teams and support Swindon St George who are just down the road. Also you could support the new semi-professional University of Gloucestershire All Golds in the 2nd Level of the Tier 2 'Championships'.

Leeds as a major financial centre, in other words its where the London based banks have situated their call centres as labour is cheap and plentiful.

Trust me, for jobs Manchester has more to offer, especially in terms of marketing and advertising.

[Marauder]

Best throw Donny into the mix then, short drive to everywhere and a night life as good as anywhere (Not sure about work, but not being British should put you in a good position for a job)

Its nicer than SOME places and not as nice as others you pay your money takes your choice...

leeds its the home of a number of both personal and industry insurance companies and i dont mean the call centre for them also the home of at least 3 major individual share trading companies also the uk and europe devolopment headquarters for GE capital and a number of other companies .

manchester has a number of low quality banking jobs and minor advertising sub offices of london based firms also one of the highest crime rates in england and of course no professional rugby league teams

Ask Dally,he's an Aussie who used to post on here with knoweldge of RL area's.There has been a lot said about Manchester,but beware of the gangsters and drive by shootings,maybe thats why they get so many cash handouts from the govt

[Yorkie44]

City of York, quite possibly the greatest place on earth.
