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

its in blackpool 12th of july.

all messing aside it comes under cheshire on our address.

So why the Lancashire chants then???

i think it used to come under lancs not sure of the reasons why it changed.

like warrington, st helens, w***n and liegh widnes is historically in god's county of lancashire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1973 the boundaries where altered we're originally lancastrians

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.

Doesnt the Rivery Mersey run near?

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.

Widnes is now in the unitary authority of Halton, so presumably, it isn't even in Cheshire any more! Geographically it is part of Lancashire. It is on the River Mersey, but has never been part of the county of Merseyside, unlike Southport and St Helens which are nowhere near the Mersey! I, however, am from the Wirral, and consider myself to be from Cheshire even though it was moved into Merseyside in 1973.

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).

judging by the postcodes, just a suburb of Warrington. Am i right?, I'm not wrong.... (ducks his head and awaits incoming)

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.

at the end of the day berie atleast we don't shag sheep

Nah we just steal people's stereo's and rob our way through the towns of the M62 corridor. Laaa

That'll do for me

I wouldn't know, my mate who lives in Widnes would.

Sounds like a plastic scouser who knows .... all to be honest.

wheres WIDNES - in Blackpool on the glorious 12th July 2009

widnes people hate being called scousers.

real scousers call people from widnes woolybacks.

sounds like no one whats to claim widnes in its county. we should split off and start our own country. our slogan would be the b*st*rds of britain.

I hope it absolutely es it down

Well you sound like scoucers, look like scoucers and you used to have Liverpool 08 on your shirts so despite you lot thinking you are Lancastrians, from chesher you are scoucers to me.

They also have a fetish for hub caps.
