“The city stinks of sewers, is a landscape of 50s/60s/70s concrete brutal architecture/charity shops/boarded up stores and is bottom of the tables for education, top of tables for truancy. Where does culture fit in to all that?
It'd be great if the city centre was redeveloped, the grim car parks/Hull Truck/Hull Royal/prospect centre building/library gutted and re-developed, sewers cleansed, but that takes time and money. It'd save the city being an utter joke if the work was done first, then the city proposed. And enough of Larkin, toads etc etc, find something this city has achieved in the 21st century.”

“I know must of us thought this was a laugh when we first heard about it, but it could do wonders for this great city I live in.
The current hosts are Derry:

“Sadly, Hull simple doesnt deserve the tag of "City of Culture". Have you seen the city centre recently? ...... full of drunks, druggies, ex-prisoners with face tattoo's, sheltered-housing. I live in Hull but lets not kid ourselves. This city needs a major-face-lift.”

“Ginjuice, well done for only picking up on one point. Yes Hull hosts a few half decent events. The darts wasn't one of them, I attended and it was dire in comparison to other cities. My point is Hull has been neglected for years, and its infrastructure is shocking, not to mention the dreadful city council. But we'll done for picking up on the potholes, I am sure when visitors come to the city they will just over look them, along with the derelict buildings, discarded syringes, zombified people spitting in the street, dead city centre, and the gorgeous Poundland superstore opposite the interchange. Please get real.”
