ursus arctos posted on a thread in the football section the following sentence: "Gelsenkirchen isn't really a nice day out kind of place."
He's probably right looking at its wiki page, which struggles to bring up anything of great cultural or historical interest, though no doubt the bars are lively places if you want a good beer and a chat about football.
Some time back there was a series in some newspaper or other about crap towns, but how about boring ones? Gelsenkirchen has about a quarter of a million inhabitants so to be fair let's restrict any nominations to towns/cities of a decent size, otherwise Hollyhead would win ever time.
