Maghull, a skid mark on the underpants of society, a part of liverpool which really should not be part of merseyside, or mainstream society for that matter. Maghull which originally was a farming hamlet has in the last century became a place for people who think that they have made it big time. Families mainly from Kirby, Aintree and Bootle flock to Maghull because it is “an apparently nicer and posher place to live”. Well lets face a few home truths about Maghull. The council tax is exactly the same as council tax in Kirby, Bootle and Aintree so the council of Liverpool or Sefton do not recognise Maghull as a special area so its just like any other rough part of liverpool. The fact that it is on the other side of switch island and in a leafy sub-urban part of merseyside is to blame for the creation of this “myth”. So, why is Maghull such a poor place to live and why should it be placed on this website. I will explain.
Maghull is a breeding ground for a new revolutionary type of Liverpool scum called “The Wannabe Bad Boy” bascially a fella who has been brought up in Maghull who grows up to believe himself to be a hardened scally who is hard and who thinks he is a gangster. The evidence for this accusation is rife. If you go to the Meadows pub on a Sunday night or the Coach and Horses you will see lads who walk around pretending to act hard and who make out that they recieve their money from illegal means. The reality is that these boys live with mummy and daddy and who probably work for mummy and daddy’s company with no names mentioned! The “wannabe bad boy” will also drive around in mummy and daddys car in the evening pretending that the car is theirs and that they conduct their “buisiness” in it. The common car that a maghull lad now drives at the moment is either a Vauxhall Vectra, a second hand lexus, or a volkswagen GTI which again WONT be theirs. However they succeed in pulling the easy girls from the pubs in maghull because girls in maghull are mostly orange faced money obsessed slags who want to latch on to a drug dealer or doorman as soon as possible but this type of woman originates from all places in liverpool so there is no change there but more on Maghull Women later. Maghull lads, most of them are not hard. They do not deal drugs and they do not possess any type of aggressiveness or obnoxiousness about them. They are not to be feared. If you wish to see a proper hard knock scally lad who is to be kept at a distance then please feel free to visit Toxteth, Dovecot or Ackers Hall or any other romantic hotspots in liverpool. Lads from Maghull tend not to enter mainstream society, they cocoon themselves in their pubs such as the red house (which is a shed which does actually have fungus growing in it) the coach and horses, the weld blundell, the hare and hounds and most importantly the Meadows which unfortuantly missed a stray bomb in the second world war when a bomb from a dive bomber landed in what is at present the rear car park. Evidence that the Germans even know how bad the place actually is. After a the meadows has called last orders on a sunday night there is a ritual gathering outside the pub because no one knows how to get a cab home. Also girls and boys who have been drinking there on a sunday night make the arrangements on who they are going home with? Has anyone seen the American Sitcom M*A*S*H? Well my point is in this series the doctors have had all the nurses on the unit and all move from one nurse to the next swapping nurses night after night with eachother. This is exactly what happens in the Meadows, only that the lads are the doctors and the girls are the nurses. Maghull lads also tend not to go to liverpool city centre at night because they feel insecure in town, why? Because they cant pretend that they are hard or violent in town because everyone in liverpool knows that Maghull is not a violent place such as toxteth or anfield. In summary of Maghull boys, if you take away the lacoste tracksuits and mummy and daddys car and money, you would be left with a lad who would be best suited to live in poshest and wealthiest parts of the Wirral or Cheshire because these lads are too soft for their own good and would surely not survivie in a city setting away from their parent’s protection. If they were placed in a container they would drown in their own bullshit spewing from their overly pronounced scouse accent speaking mouths.
Moving swfitly on to girls from Maghull. Now girls from Maghull are just like girls from any other part of Liverpool. Most of them being orange, dangerously thin, money obsessed, self thinking peices of work. However the difference is Maghull girls are easly impressed and easily led on. Many a time have i been to the meadows and the coach and horses and have pulled girls just because i bought them ONE yes ONE drink and my car was parked outside. Thats how easy it really is and if you dont believe me try it for yourself. Girls from Maghull also believe that they too are from “da hood” that they also are hard, but the reality is they are only as hard as their current dealer or doorman boyfriend is at the time. I have spoken to many doormen and cabbies and have been told the same thing time after time after time. That the pubs in Maghull are stomping grouds for dealers and doormen from other areas in Liverpool due to the fact that it is so easy to get a shag from a girl from maghull. The more hard you are, the better car you have and the more money you have the easier it is to get a girl from their, and if you are actually a doorman or a drug dealer then you might as well never get married because you will have an ever flowing supply of Maghull Pussy. I know this because i have an ugly friend, and i mean an ugly ugly friend, he even knows himself to be very unattractive, but he drives a Range Rover HSE which even though it isnt his he once pretended that it was one sunday night and parked it right outside the meadows. We were immediatly confronted by a whord of girls smoking outside the front entrance to the meadows wereby my friend blagged that he was head doorman for the edwards bar in town. He got laid that night in the girls house as her parents were away in the lake district at the time. Need i say any more? Girls from maghull also overly dress for the pub. I mean, what girl or person would go to the pub dressed in the most revealing desinger clobber? Girls in the meadows wear practically nothing all year round and its just a pub, not a club or a bar, just an old mans pub which has a DJ in it on sunday nights. Its like going to the grafton but only that the girls age range is between 12-17, most girls from maghull over this age are usually kept behind lock and key by their dealer or doormen boyfriends. Also girls over this age from maghull have probably shagged about half the male population in the area and so therefore can no longer show their faces in such places. A final reason is that some lucky girls move to liverpool and have escaped the wrath of the cocooned maghull area and realised what fools they were to think that life in Maghull was reality.
Finally we move the fact that Maghull thinks itself to be more than it actually is. There are signs round maghull pointing to “Maghull Town Centre” MAGHULL DOESNT HAVE A TOWN CENTRE! Their apparent town centre has about 10 shops in it and a police station. That sounds more like a village to me. The only reason there is a police station in Maghull is so that Merseyside Police can keep monitoring 3 drug barons that live in Maghull, i know this because i have a few friends who are in the force.
In summary Maghull itself is not a rough place to live however it does harbour this new type of scally scum both girls and boys. If it wasnt for Maghull then clubs such as the living rooms, garlands, the newz bar and all other hives for “wanna be bad boys” would be out of buisiness.
There are some decent living folk who live there but this decent folk is comprised of mainly pensioners and white collar workers. Other people who live their simply have moved there from other parts of liverpool thinking that they are the dogs who have succeeded in life. Simply not true, i could live in Maghull right now and i am in my early 20′s. Doesnt say much does it? Anyone who is coming to liverpool for capital culture, if you cant pull in liverpool city centre or anywere else for that matter, go to Maghull. And if you fancy a laugh at the Maghull “scallies” then go for it, you wont be disapointed.
Well done for this well article based on very accurate primary research (being you were clearly stuck living in this hell hole of a town for too long)!
Most of the comment have been negative but I think this is both funny and shockingly accurate! How typical that the Maghull ‘scallies’ take themselves so seriously that they can’t even laugh at themselves! Even scousers have a sense of humour……something Maghull ‘scallies’ might want to adopt seeing as they seem to aspire to be like them!
I have been unfortunate to move to Maghull from Croxteth and was made fun off for being scouse in primary school, 2 years later I was the only person the teacher could understand as my accent was acually real!
Moving to manchester was the best idea I have ever made! And no it wasn’t because I couldn’t get laid! Anyone can in Maghull!
“Families mainly from Kirby, Aintree and Bootle flock to Maghull”
“Maghull is a breeding ground for a new revolutionary type of Liverpool scum”
It’s not the people from Maghull who are ‘scum’ it’s the people who move there from the other (worse) places, who then go on to raise ‘scum’ kids in their own image.
Change The word maghull to any other town not only in liverpool, but the entire country at the moment and it would fit seamlessly
I call massive troll, 7/10 though for the amount of people you’ve trolled so far.
p.s keep living the dream bro, you’ll make it to maghull one day!
I’am absolutely appalled after reading this disgusting piece of writing about my home town of Maghull.
I have lived in Maghull my entire life and am a 23 year old female. I do NOT wear fake tan, i am NOT impressed by men who think they are ‘hard’ or ‘drug dealers’ and i have NEVER slept with anyone who has bought me drinks from any pub in Maghull. I also know no-one else who has done these things.
I have 5 A levels, and am currently studying for a PHD at university and consider whoever wrote this piece of crap a complete liar and fabricator of the truth.
I would never change where i come from, or the people i know from Maghull. My enitre family have had a problem free, quiet and peaceful life in Maghull and find that everybody is extremely friendly and genuine.
Every town has its problems and differences to publishing statistics is completely useless. Unless you have lived there and experienced the true community in Maghull then an outsider would never understand how offensive this peice of writing actually is.
It’s not perfect but its my home and i would never change it.
For someone who claims to have studied at university, your spelling/grammar is “proper shit, la”.
Now do one, you wool.
Ihatescalls please stop rambling on about your degree, as though people from Maghull aren’t university educated. I’m from Maghull and have a degree, and seeing as the sixth forms in the area are the busiest in Sefton I’m guessing that a large part of these have gone on to be university educated also, it’s not as though you’ve cured cancer or anything. Also if earlier comments are true it sounds as though the degree is a lie, this page was made from your jealousy of seeing these people when you were delivering your bread and cakes.
Also in response to scally’s to the slaughter asking for scally tipping to be legalized why don’t you leave your name, and I’m sure there won’t be a shortage of people for you to do it too, I just hope ihatescalls would submit his name one day. I have said in the past that you are quick to name people, and that Maghull is just full of wannabe’s, so I’m sure that someone of your higher stature wouldn’t have to worry too much about repercussions.
For a kick off dont call me “babe”. I am not your “babe”. Now to business. I didnt say that i didnt get laid or even tried to get laid in Maghull and you would have known that if you read the article properly. My point was that its very EASY to get laid there. As i said in my article i have pulled many a girl from the meadows pub simply because my car was parked outside, read ffs.
According to the Office For National Statistics the population of Maghull at the last count was 22,225 people, not the “over thirty thousand” you have stated. And here is the source for you in full (i used to actually write essays in university you know) http://neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=790613&c=Maghull&d=16&e=15&g=361060&i=1001x1003x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1265986052057&enc=1&dsFamilyId=779 . Now as for your comment on council tax as im sure you know there are many bands which categorise certain parts of society (A to band H) A being the lowest band and H being the highest. Now, in this instance Maghull falls into the Sefton constituency which suprise suprise it shares with BOOTLE! So my previous statement is true that Maghull is no better than Bootle or Litherland.
As for the crime statistics (and this is my speciality) Within the period April 2008-March 2009 (the most recent statistics availiable) when comparing Sefton with Knowsley (knowsley as you know includes Kirkby) Sefton has a higher crime rate than knowsley according to Notifiable offences Recorded by the police. You can find these statistics at http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=276789& c=L31+7AX&d=13&e=3&f=25628& g=361076&i=1001x1003x1004x1005&l=904& o=300&m=0&r=0&s=1265987048160& enc=1 (that one for Sefton) and for Knowsley http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadTableView.do?a=7&b=276786& c=Knowsley&d=13&e=3&f=25628& g=357767&i=1001x1003x1004x1005&l=904& o=300&m=0&r=1&s=1265987071191& enc=1 So will you please explain to me how Maghull “blows kirkby and bootle out of the water”? As for writing the article for chavtowns.com there wasnt a site called chav villages.com. As for Maghull having more than thirty shops in its central business district im not sure if i shall take your word on that one as some of your comments have just been proven to not be true in the slightest.
^^^^^ Pedantry and belittling in one post, now that’s what I call a comment!
council tax doesn’t determine the quality of an area, general infrastructure, crime rate (etc) do. based on that, maghull blows kirkby/bootle out of the water.
the population is over thirty thousand, maghull square has more than thirty shops not ten. ergo, it’s a town with a town centre. if you didn’t think it’s a town, why have you written this article for “chavtowns.com”…?
listen babe, just because you couldn’t get laid in maghull when all of your friends did you shouldn’t feel bitter about the place.
Ok, here the deal. All comments on here are moderated.

I would check the Acceptable Usage Policy of your ISP before you issue what I consider to be online threats. Also make your f**king social networking pages private FFS!
ihatescalls, ye they would try to get passers by to get ale for em but i suppose you get that everywere in liverpool. I couldnt park me car anywere else apart from the somerfield car park over the road behind the shops but thats a bit of a moody place too. You would think because of the police station bein only over the road you wouldnt have any trouble…..wrong. In the time i lived there i had me car windows smashed in twice and lost 3 tyres because of the kids. I couldnt stand me neighbours because all they would do would be arguin and screamin all night and playin loud music all the time. I just coudnt take it anymore so i got somewere else.
Nah, sorry you’ve got me confused with someone else.
I KNOW its you. You are a joke. How would you know who I was referring to? The fact I KNOW its you is because I seen you post this as a link on your facebook all them years ago! Muhahaha, unlucky fella!!!
Not denying that im from West Derby at all but the fact about me delivering cakes and bread, no thats deffo not me, Although i may know the individual your referring too, and if it is then i havent spoke to him for quite some time. Im not bothered who you have shown the article too and i couldnt care less about any response from a wannabe big boy as i have shown in the article. Bigfella i know what you mean about the lil shits by the shops. Would they hang round the off licence and try n get people to buy em booze? Why would you park your “merc” there anyways?
you make me laugh you really do!! Not only are you denying you hail from West Derby,but also you family trade. I wont say any more on that subject – or do you want your address in case you have forgotten that as well. I have shown one of the ‘tits’ your article and you can only imagine the response. The above comment sounds like you with a split personality – what do you reckon!!!
What this article says i have to agree with, mostly. I used to live in Maghull and had to leave due to a dispute with two of my chav neighbours. I think the author of this article hit the nail right on the head about almost everything apart from brandishing everyone who lives there with the same brush even though the distinction is quite clearly made between the good ones and bad ones. I happen to also know the two individuals who are mentioned and all i can say about that is one of them is indeed a tit, the other one was a tit but is now quite sound. What i hated the most about the place when i lived there is the snottyness that existed. Everyone thought they were boss just because they lived there and i couldnt deal with that. I used to live in a rented flat in the “town centre” which i also agree was pathetic, it was deffo not a town centre. It was more like the place were the lil shits used to gather and basically try to have off with me merc every fri n sat night. One thing the author forgot to mention is the playin fields off ormond road were you would see the schoolies shaggin eachother senseless on weekends gettin pissed off cheap ale bought from the bargain booze next to the chippy of liverpool road. Caz, i dont think the author sounds bitter like your suggestin, i just think he/she’s pissed off like i am or was. I only moved to maghull because i was goin through a tough seperation at the time and i needed some place to stay so me mate let me live in one of his old flats which he had free at time. One thing i would like to know is if the author didnt or doesnt live in Maghull then why does he/she know the place so well. I would love to know. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and im gonna have people tryin to have me off now like but i do agree with almost everythin that is said here. Thirty years ago i think maghull was probably boss but now its goin like everywere else which is down the pan.
No sorry, you have completely lost me there. Cakes and bread? wtf!?
Lets just say I do know why you spent time in Maghull and to be going on about it 4 years later is rather sad and pathetic. You need to get a life and move on. Concentrate on WEST DERBY and its downfalls instead of living in the past and judging a place on your own experience and opinions. You got KB’d. So what? MOVE ON. You do not have good knowledge of the place and after reading the comments on your “article” the majority of people agree with me and believe you need to get out more.
Dont get me wrong, I know exactly who the article is aimed at so it stands to reason I know who you are, I notice you confirmed you are not an only child but no the point of an only boy. Sounds like the bad experience of being KB’d from a Maghull resident left you bitter and devastated and still not over it. Half the time there was no need to be in Maghull ,it was commomly known as stalking ,the other other half you were delivering cakes and bread.
im not an only child and as i say i dont want to say why i know the place so well but i can categorically confirm that i was not knocked back by a girl from there and i am not a misfit. I have loads of mates who also agree totally with me. Thats all im saying, AND FOR THE 10 MILLIONTH TIME I KNOW I HAVE SPELLING MISTAKES ON HERE! THE ARTICLES AND REPLIES HAVE BEEN PUT UP IN HASTE! jeeeeez try reading! scallies to the slaughter i do agree that there are a small proportion of sound people young and old in maghull as i did mention in the article but they are a small proportion indeed. As for my car being in maghull, lets just say that there was a part of my life were i had to be in maghull on a regular basis. I wouldnt make an opinion on any area unless i had good knowledge of the place. Aughton wrong, huyton wrong, kirkby definitly wrong.
