cheapthrillz Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Just wondered what you all thought, as to me it seems too small to be the 4th largest city, even though technically it's bigger than Leeds, Liverpool and Glasgow, Sheffield seems and feels so much smaller.

boutiquechoc Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I think of Sheffield as like a big village. However, it does house as many chavscum families as the other city's in the UK!! It is greener, but a lot of Sheffield born people have never even visited the Peaks and surrounding, and IMO the traffic is just as bad as every other city I have lived and worked in! The size of it is irrelevant if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Its the poor cousin of Leeds. Rubbish shopping and feels like a village. It's got the friendliest folk in the UK though so its not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the1 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I aways thought Sheffield was the 5th or 6th Biggest City in the UK?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
websters gue Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Sheffield is nowhere near as big as Glasgow, I think a lot of people from elsewhere think our city centre is small compared to other cities but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 City centre lets it down, Meadowhalls not helped. However Leeds is a finance capital, Glasgow was Euro city of culture and so was Liverpool. This has helped raise the profile of the cities and attracted inward investment. Hopefully Sheffield will catch up in 10-15 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boutiquechoc Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I don't like Leeds, IMO it's just a big dump with an unsettling undertone about it. Yes, it's shop choice is better than sheffield, but it is scraggy as hell! Sheffield is backwards as far as the city goes, we have no cosmopolitain elements, althought it houses two Uni's it is still backwards in terms of entertainment, shops and restaurants!

adysheff Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you want a small city head to St Davids in Wales, city status has nothing to do with size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
