This from an article in New Statesman: "Despite its location in affluent East Sussex, Hastings has endemic problems with poverty and deprivation...". So perhaps scousers feel at home there?
A lot of northerners come to the haven in hastings on their holidays don't have a clue why but their choice haha. It ain't as bad as your all making it out to be. Quiete possibly it's worse
I live in Hastings and at this point should leap to its defence and get the right hump for it being slagged off........ But I cant! It has got some nice little areas (Old Town) but in general, and definitely during summer, its is a sh*thole. The main town in particular has just become a lad centre interspersed with coffee shop chains and pub chains.
I think we were the suicide capital of England not long back, there you go then!
Well i'll leap to it's defence. For 6 years I lived just along the coast in Rye but the nicest people I met were always from Hastings. It's just a shame there is no work there.
I quite like it down there . Stayed Hastings house and Zanizbar hotel before which were great . Decent Webbes restaurant there and another place called St Clements
I live in Rye, so just down the road from Hastings and I could confirm that a large percentage of the residents are not the best people. The town itself is fairly decent but considering the fact that the most local club is 50 miles away in Brighton, it's the perfect area for gloryhunting.
Off to my annual holiday to Camber Sands on Saturday for a week so will get to visit nice and pleasant Rye and not so pleasant Hastings. One thing that baffles me also is the amount of French/German tourists that come to Hastings, surely you would just head to London instead.
The tourists coming to hastings exchange students etc are what keep the old town and on itself the new town in business, I've worked in many a place in old and new town and majority are kept afloat by the students, I must live near you valley Fred, sleepy village of pett

We could have had our own supporters club, I was at Winchelsea beach.

For a start, you forgot the cable car.
Caravan club?
