Manchester is slowly becoming like New York in terms of gangland. Gangsters are now having more of an influence in the way things are run and a lot of which have control on the doors of Manchester's nightspots.

Since the early 80's Manchester has had a gang culture. The gangs in Mosside and of the overspill Cheetham Hill estates began dealing drugs, robberies, extortion e.t.c. All these gangs soon became rivals and the Cheetham Hill gangs soon began taxing the Pepperhill Gang(East Alexandra Park Estate, Mosside).

Although recently, more gangs have emerged, such as Asian gangsters from Longsight who have become rivals with the other gang and if the stories are true that Asians will take over the drug scene then the Longsight Crew, Longsight Soldiers and Young Longight Boys will be playing a serious role in Manchester's underworld.. New gangs from Salford are using a more intelligent approach and controlling more businesses. When members of the Gooch Close Gang (West Alexandra Park Estate) opened fire in a pub in Salford on 2 seperate occasions they were all killed.

I've recently been for a walk around gangland Salford and looked at those 2 pubs which have both been closed down.

Sources:a lot of the information came from local news programs but a few sites will confirm mine:

Wikipedia explanation of Gangs In England
Gangs in England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Discuss and share your knowledge of gangsters and gangs in your local towns.
 
There are some small gangs, and probably some bigger gangs that i'm not aware of and neither do i intend to. Most of them are my pals and turks, but there are some swedes too, all equally annoying.
 
well, when i think about it, there are "gangs" divided by races, but I only saw that in school and it does not count cuz most of them split up after highschool lol
 
Gooch close:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

""Gooch Territory" ? What's that all about ? Gooch Close hasn't existed for years since it changed it's name to Westerling Way. Someone, the Westerling Way Crew doesn't sound the same. Bunch of sad losers !
