New Ross : Why's it Cheap

MazyMo

I've seen terraced houses advertised for sale in New Ross at under €85000 !

Considering the price of houses nowadays, this makes me wonder if there's anything wrong with the place??

Is there??

kensutz

Everything is wrong with the place. What a dive. The only good thing in it is the bridge to get outta the place. As for nights out!!! Definitely a no go area, you're more than likely going to end up in hospital with stitches. Full of travellers as well. Nothing good with the place at all.

mike65

kensutz may be crude but he's right!:ninja:

Mike.

kensutz

WOO HOO! Someone agrees with me. Lol. Along with the whole of Ireland - bar New Ross.

irish wizz

Actually I live in New Ross and I personally dont think its cheap apart from the price of petrol which is the chepaest in Ireland.
For E 85,000 you would get a small 1 bed house with no garden etc, far away from town centre. Reckon you all need to open your eyes a little!

The going price of a 3 bed room house in New Ross is E 120,000 at least and a new house is E150,000 to start with.

kensutz

Actually thats the only good point I forgot to mention. The dirt cheap petrol. Maybe it's to attract visitors lol.

irish wizz

Ah well New Ross is in need of a new nightclub lol
Reckon Waterford is a bit far away for us heavy drinkers to travel to. Anyway we might get REFUSED admission into the likes of the Manor CLub (Club LA) See we are not all stupid either here ha ha

ToxicPaddy

Club LA is no more mate.. and hasnt been for a long while..

Its now a rather large and fairly stylish pub called Masons..

But the some of the clientele (sp?) seem a bit up their own arses..

No...Ross needs to be filled in with quick drying cement and soon.
Maybe they can use the left over cement from that tunnel?

I work with a lad from new ross and i swear he's inbred.
All he's short of is a banjo. Sure he's always humming the banjo tune anyway.

Rolo Tomasi

I grew up not very far from New Ross and was never very impressed by it. There are very few shops, bare basics really, and anything that is there is very expensive. The music shop?? crazy prices.
As for going out in , well that's something I wouldn't wish on anyone. There are lots of fit chicks in Ross and its possible to score but whats a little un-nerving is the gangs of blokes that ignore these women and just want to start a fight with the first person they dont recognise. Thats not a healthy pass time.

It is pretty close to Waterford, thats a plus point.

AdMMM

My father grew up in New Ross, until he saw sense and moved to Waaaaterfard! The last time I've actually been walking around in New Ross was for that big concert on the quay (which sucked btw)

MazyMo

Heck!! - didn't realise I was gonna get such a reaction about New Ross!!

So, is this the worst town in the area??

irish wizz

Seems like you all think New Ross is full of ****e!

Well i have news for you, I HAVE seen worst towns than New Ross and I personally wont insult anyones intelligence by stating the names of places.

However there is no doubt that new ross lacks lots of things, that the shops are overprices with little or no choices in fashion (for women) and this is from a man!

As for kensutz's post re attracting visitors I think we have enough with out advertsing cheap petrol :cool:

But i have to agree with the post from Rolo Tomasi stating how men in this town ignore women, its a fact, well proven as well as the mental attuide of fellas in the company of these girls.

But i have also seen this attuide in both Waterford & Wexford!HAVE

If you want a proper head kickin' Galway's the place to be.
If you think New Ross is bad for the Knackers, Galway's your only man.

DaithiSurfer

Anyone hear about the poor swedish guy who was beaten to a pulp in new ross at the weekend.
He's on a life support machine now.
Saw the local gougers trying to wreck a table outside a pub as well.
Really rough place.

AdMMM

Just proves the New Ross is a fuc|<ing sh1thole. I mean who would want to live in a town where most the guys are more interested in KILLING someone they don't recognise. I hope the gang that did this are caught!

Stephen

The swedish guy is dead now.

MazyMo

Are there any other towns in Tipperary South, Waterford or Wexford which someone should be careful in (if you're not a local)?

Or is this town just a one-off?

No, not at all. In Galway most people will mind their own business and keeps their fueds amoungst themselves but ross is a free for all.
It was bad went i went there [secondary school] but now its a disaster.

yo mr whizz sir i've got 6 aunts and uncles who used to live in new ross and i live bout 5 miles outside the ****e hole and i can tell ya its a dive the only good thing about it is the bridge out of it (and that takes ya to kilkenny ) m sorry to burst youre view of youre home town but its by far the roughest place in the south east and quite possibly the worst place in the country to go out in.Ffs clonroche is better than new ross to go out in

Your actually right about Clonroche being better

New Ross town looks like the whole place is about to fall apart, its so run down!! It needs to be done up badly!!!

Mike.

bozzie

lol good one
nah new ross is a ****e hole but thats because it lacks the funds to clean itself up a bit



i say we start a clean up new ross foundation and see if we can get the money for a flame thrower together

MazyMo

What's Wexford like in comparison to New Ross?

Is Wexford an ok place, and fairly safe?

chernobyl

knackers...and what else did wexford give us?...strawberries.

MazyMo

Do you mean Wexford is full of knackers & strawberries?

NedNew

The circus arrived in New Ross last year. Luckily one of the zebra's managed to escape. Unfortunately for him he was caught and had to go through with the show.

Ross has two night clubs that have been shut down. A cinema that shut down years ago. It needs a decent company to come along with a few hundred jobs.

Until then the crumble will continue.

I suggest avoiding carrick on suir also.

But in saying that, Clonroche is a complete kip too and the town
is full knackers and scumbags..

Especially that estate on the left as you come into the town from
New Ross.. whatever its called..

Was out in Enniscorthy a few years back for that strawberry fair,
was having great craic for the night we were there, when we
were heading back to waterford the following evening, we
stopped off in Clonroche for a few drinks thinkin it looked ok and
went into one of the pubs there...

Seemed cool enuff, nice local pub, drink was well priced and a nice
open fire.. but that changed quickly enuff.. one of the lads was in
the bathroom, some assh*le started on him and headbutted him
for no apparent reason apart from my mate telling him he didnt
want any trouble..

After it all finished, one of the locals told us that yer man was from
the estate up the road and the whole place is full of em,
scumbags who have nothing better to do than cause hassle and
fight...

So there is another place I would avoid..

Oh it is rough, the estate is well known for its trouble makers!! But most people from Clonroche are genuinely friendly etc

You came up for The Strawberry Fair??? Not many people do anymore

Yeah the guys sitting at the bar were sound enough as was the old guy behind the bar..

Ive been at the strawberrty fair a few times in the past, well not
the fair itself, more the pubs and the bar extensions that they
have as they seem never to close.. Always a class session..

Ive also heard of that place, with the night club out in the arse
hole of no where, Killane, where all the clonroche heads go..
apparently Saturday night there is like a mix of a scene from
deliverance and Beruit.... :rolleyes:

That would be Rackards of Killane - if you ever want to see the vast selection of checked shirts in one place, well Rackards is the place to go

Always fighting and all kinds of goings on out there!!!

They all seem a bit inbred out there.. :rolleyes:

T.G Catter

New Ross and Clonroche are on a par with each other, neither better than the other, and the road to Kilkenny is not the best thing to come out of New Ross (the Rower anyone...tsk)
New Ross needs some serious Urban Renewal, some E.U grants, and a cinema , and has the potential to be an 'ok' place.
I haven't gone out in New Ross since the days of the Colosseum, when the sewerage from the ladies toilet used to seep down into the men's... ah those were they days........!!!!
Wexford town is getting better and better(with the longest bridge in Ireland)!
County Wexford has some very talented people, particularly in the Arts... Eoin Colfer, Salthouse, some great scenery(the hook), and sporting legends.
Although a serious amount of teenage pregnancies.

But it's not all bad ya know lads.
