I'm not sure I understand the point about Wythenshawe here. Because it's a poor area, people should support Salford? Seems like you're putting Salford down there.

Wythenshawe is a Football area. It's a 49/49 split in favour of United and City and then the other 2%......Sale. I know this, being a Wythenshawe Sale fan. Lots of Wythenshawe folk get on my coach from Brooklands station to Salford City Stadium. Wythenshawe is nowhere near Salford, however part of Wythenshawe and Sale share the same boundaries. Brooklands, where Sale FC play (Heywood Road - where Salford U16s or something play) is in both Wythenshawe and Sale. Wythenshawe and Sale are also in the same boundaries when it comes to voting and stuff. We're just Sale's poorer Cousin. A sign was recently put up saying "Welcome To Brooklands, Wythenshawe" on Altrincham Road. That's sure to p!ss off those folk trying to sell their fancy houses on Brooklands Road.

In fact, Heald Green residents recently voted to get a sign taken down at their train station as it had Wythenshawe Town Centre on the platform signs. A few years ago Northenden folk were outraged because of the same thing. A sign said "Welcome To Northenden, Wythenshawe". That one was a bit odd as it's actually in Wythenshawe. They'd rather they were associated with neighbouring Didsbury.

So I'm not sure you'd want your club associated with here. You'd get looked down on more than you would for attending a Sale game Speaking of which - saw 2 lads with Salford City Reds shirts at the last game of ours. Heroes in my eyes. No doubt they got a kicking when they left the ground though.

Before I get a telling off for a geography lesson, I was just confused as to why an area 10 miles away would be targeted as a Salford City Reds area. Most people in Wythenshawe wouldn't even know what Rugby is. In fact, they wouldn't know what Football was outside of the Premier League. You never saw a blue shirt around here for years and now City have won the league they wear nothing but the things, even if it's raining. Whenever I get a taxi to the station, the taxi driver never knows who Sale or Salford are. They only start to know what I'm talking about when I tell them it's that new ground off the motorway.

Edit - I understand what you meant. A cheaper alternative. It's a good point but then with 75000 people, in theory Wythenshawe Town or Altrincham FC would be getting some of their money every week. They don't though. That's what I was getting at with the Premier League thing.

Edit 2 - I assure you I don't say "folk" that often in real life

Oh you are still alive, then. You still finding Sale being the "puppet masters" to be a wonderful thing?

Like I said...obsessed.!

Stick to the Warrington forum in future son.

I'll take that as a yes, then. And speaking of obsessed, you do spend a lot of time on here, don't you?
