Armed with camera phones and a tape recorder, the Salford Star team sent a group of lads to the Lowry centre. "We won't last two minutes," was the teens' prediction.

"They've got to let you in - it's a public building, paid for by your parents ... of course they'll let you in," responded the Star. "They're talking all the time about how they want to reach out to 'young people in the community'..."

Here's what happened...

An inevitable stich up? A genuine fear of the other? A set of reactions based on previously bad experiences? Welcoming, open? Food for thought.
