| There is a slight problem that when you use that postcode in any of the search engines for bus routes and what have you it isn't recognised.
Just doing a bit of research and getting to and from games looks a piece of cake from Eccles and the Hope area as the 67 runs about every 15 mins both ways until 22:40 and then goes to every 30 mins.

| Did you know that Manchester Airport has a WA (Warrington) postcode? Geographically the Manchester postcode area (Square Miles) is one of the smallest in the North of England and if you took Salford out it would be about only two thirds the size it is now. The simple fact is despite Salford being a city it isn't geographically big enough (37.5 square miles) for the Royal Mail to warrant giving Salford it's own postcode area.
Interestingly the Manchester postcode population is 498,800 and Salford makes up 229,000 of that figure. (46%)

Innit.
Plenty of individuals and businesses put Salford as their address, regardless of which part of the city they're in. Surely the address for one of the biggest assets the city of Salford has should be Salford, not Manchester?
Of course, it's a trivial fact, the club can do no wrong, it's moaning for no reason, etc. etc.
Dripping tap.

| Fair points - you can write Salford rather than Manchester, as long as the post code is right it will get there. I do think there is a difference between postal addresses and talking about where something is though, it's the latter that is most important.
I do find more people from West Salford (Eccles, Irlam, Swinton, Clifton, Walkden) saying they live in Salford rather than Manchester and people are definitely becoming more proud of being associated with our city. I guess part of that is that it takes a long time to form an identity. I grew up being told that Salford Council had ruined Irlam by underfunding the summer fair and building the "new" estate (even then 20 yrs old!) for their overspill, yadda, yadda, yadda. I was one of the few who really associated with the city of Salford, mainly because I followed the rugby team. People tended to say they were from Manchester or Lancashire rather than Salford.
I think though with the improvements in recent years, the BBC, the stadium people are definitely more positive about the place. Even the magenta rebranding is part of that, giving Salford a distinctive image despite the controversy at the time.
Anyhow not sure what this has got to do with the original posting but just thought i'd share it with you

| As anyone who has even a slight contact with me will testify, I am a very proud Salfordian. Despite living in Rochdale for 20+ years, I cannot see myself as Dale-bound or similar. However, we need to realise that Manchester as an address is (sadly) older than even post-codes: remember Salford, Broughton, and Swinton used to contest the Manchester Cup (OK, almost 90 years ago).
I also remember well that olde persons in the Pendleton area never used Salford but Pendleton in their address: De La Salle, Pendleton for example.
But I do dislike Eccles, Manchester or Swinton, Manchester as we conquered these hamlets in 1974.

| A few years ago, some Salford businesses campaigned for Salford to have its own post codes but the Post Office said no. Maybe with the development of Media City, the campaign will start again.

That's fairly typical when a new postcode is allocated - the building I work in is about 9 years old and still doesn't show on some systems.

No, it has it's own postcode area (M90).

| Quote: Iain "That's the key thing. Yes, the Post Office allocate postal addresses, but you have leeway in what you use. Look at Salford City Council, after they did their In Salford branding to highlight that it is not Manchester, it was realised that for years they had been showing the main address at Swinton Civic as "Manchester" - they simply changed it on their communications (
You are right it's the surrounding Ringway area that has a WA15 postcode. It appears as the Airport complex grew it was given special dispensation for an M postcode. This was probably to stop people querying why it was called Manchester Airport when it had a Warrington postcode with part of the airport located in a different county.
