| After hearing some of their fans sing Lancashire today it seems like they don't know where they are from
Is it Cheshire, Merseyside or Lancashire???
Maybe Cheshire don't want them after all and they are being relegated back to the Red Rose county  |

[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

We're Lancashire. Always have been, always will be. The Cheshire thing is for administrative reasons only. Where you got Merseyside from I don't know, as we have never been part of that.

It runs through Manchester too. Do you think they are Merseysiders?
We have never been part of Merseyside. I have no problem with Scousers, just in case you're thinking that. Liverpool is a great city. We are not part of that, despite what you would like to think. |

Didnt say I thought anyone was a merseysider, just wondered if it was the Mersey that was near. |

Still part of the same shovel
One of my close friends is a Widnesian, not a rugby fan but an LFC fan. To everyone at work he is known as a scouser, sounds a colleague from Liverpool, and when asked he understands why people think Widnes is in Liverpool because when it was going on Liverpool City of Culture was plastered everywhere, everyone supports Liverpool or Everton and its Merseyside Police.
Even he doesn't know how to class himself, he says its a generation thing. |

Oh dear.
Probably about twice as many Man U as Everton fans in Widnes.
And it's Cheshire Constabulary. |

In RL terms, Widnes is and will always be Lancashire.
It so happens my best mate is from Halifax, though bizarrely, has always supported Widnes!
Anyway, hard luck Fax, we'll see you next month for a rematch (and no, I'm not gloating and wasn't there).

an atmosphere that isn't created by people in matching shirts clapping along to a drum or novelty PA music might be nice!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40764.jpg |

| The river Mersey runs through Stockport and Warrington also, I suppose they are scouse too?
Nah all said and done I am not too fussed, if people are ignorant enough to say we are Liverpudlians or W**es then fine, it makes it quite amusing actually.   |
