Too often we get tacky taste and downright drivel on the internet; let me direct you to some, just for a moment. Google - NUFC Ushaw Moor - and you will find it. Amongst the slime you will find a very good account of Ushaw Moor and its history which helps towards redressing the balance. When and where did the so called vote take place?
NUFC? It was Newcastle United FC that relied for a century on some of Ushaw Moor's football fans for important revenue. No doubt the club itself has nothing to do with the site in question.
Ushaw Moor helped to fuel the Industrial Revolution and revitalize the economy. Too many of its people died in the process and that is not counting those that died in two World Wars. There are lots of places inferior to Ushaw Moor and one prime example is Blackpool. I love Blackpool Football Club almost as much as I love Derby County but let me tell you that I would rather live in Ushaw Moor than Blackpool. Yes I know Blackpool is a town and not a village.

I was outraged too at first by this but reading the whole thread it seems it was just a NUFC forum member trying to get a response from his mate,who is from Ushaw Moor.So it seems there never was such a poll.After all,there's places much worse than Ushaw (even in the Deerness Valley)
