I'd love to see where Warrington would figure on a 'Family Fortunes' type survey - 'name a famous rugby league club'...

You said 'Warrington'.
Our survey said...

I'd rather live in Warrington than Stoke any day.

One of my earliest experiences of 'Wire on tour' was in 2003 at Caracus Airport. I had that season's home jersey on (similar to this years away one, remember?) and heard a very unfamiliar, somewhat amusing, accent (that I could only place somewhere south of Kent and north of Brighton) say to me "excuse me, me and my mate were looking at your shirt and we wondered who it was". Before I had chance to answer, he stared intently at the badge and said "Warrington Wolves? Who are they, like a local team or something?"
I wasn't as quick witted back then as I am now, so just replied "No. Rugby League". He almost seemed disappointed to here my response and meekly said "Oh, Rugby [iLeague[/i" and walked off.

I haven't seen anything about this john terry look a like.

But on cowboy builders on five the other week they said they were in Warrington, Merseyside.

I was talking to a builder from Wigan who always had the impression that Warrington was quite posh, until he got a job with the council and had to travel around some of the more earthy districts. That was an eye opener.

As someone who has lived here all my life, I don't see any difference from other towns. There are rough parts and very expensive parts. I do know that there are far better amenities in much smaller and poorer towns. That actually have a cinema in the town centre, a fun pool or a skating rink, somewhere for families to go after hours etc.

Hear hear, god awful black hole of a city.

When I was in Cyprus a couple of years ago, I went into a pub with my shirt on and it was instantly recognised by the Cypriot owner.

Apparently he was an ardent follower of the Super League and a big Warrington fan to boot.

Me neither, must have missed that one on my travels.

Of course now we're going to be known as that town that doesn't allow kissing

I love living here too.

Northampton is a fast decaying hole of a town with a backwards council that doesnt give a......

Here, the town centre is a nice place to go shopping, the Goldon Square is fantastic in comparison to what northampton has to offer. As much as I love Northampton, it was my home for the first 18 years of my life, I really like living in Warrington and would never want to move back to Northampton. In comparison, Warrington is brill!

Oh and then the team is that bit more succesful up here! Well, the Cobblers arent in the Premiership are they!

a lot of the posters are on buses as buses are for poor people and chavs

Saw that myself and wanted to throw something at my plasma!
