Just had news that my tickets have been purchaced and are some where safe

So I`m a bit giddy tipsy and I apoligise for boring you in advance.

I think a lot of younger Warringtonions have forgotten to remember how important their Town is. Just take the situe of Wire, in the middle of (just 16/17 miles to either) Liverpool & Manchester,2 major cities not just in Britain but Europe and are known the World over. The.number of absconders from these 2 cities either escape to Wire or they shack up with our beautiful women and I`d say probably are equal in number. West Wire (Sankey, Penketh, Old Hall etc) being more scousish East Wire (Woolston, Padgate, Orford etc) being more Mancish. I also like to think that when the Yanks were here, cos there was so many of them they left a little in us. You talkin t me.
Warrington was a major Roman centre, due to its easiness of crossing the Mersey. Hence why Bridgefoot is easy at rush hour.
We`re split 4 ways on footy teams Everton, Liverpoo

, United and Shi**y. With United pipping Everton/ Liverpoo for support. I don`t think anywhere else has that.We`re connected by the M62, M56, Mersey, Manny Ship Canal, Bridgewater Canal, A57 and the East Lancs.
Warrington is the 3rd biggest town/city in the NW
`We are why we are` is down to our geography. No other town/city in Britain resembles this freak of nature. We are a proud, passionate and outspoken race that loves nothing more than intergrating.

C`mon Wire

Englightening topic Sir



So when we're away from Warrington, what upsets us more, being called Scouse or Manc? lol

My stock answer is 'I'm neither, I'm a Warringtonian'

How odd.

Scouser.

Don't mind being called a Manc as I love Manchester. But being called a scouser really gets on my boobies.

I think we are more Manc than Scouse anyway. Probably because Scousers are so unique though!

we are neither

I am orford born and bred! but with a really thick manchester accent! ( cue the milkman jokes! )

I change my accent to suit.

All roads lead to Warrington

It also has two Train Stations, I bet nobody knew that did they?

At least 4?

It's too late!

Ha ha, well 5 I can think off

Central
Bank Quay
Sankey
Padgate
Birchwood??

Any more?

Ah the Manc/Scouse debate.

Scousers think I have a Manc accent, Mancs think I have a Scouse one.
I was ina a dingy Hong Kong basr at about 6am a few years ago and some guy come up to me and asked how Warrington was. He picked my accent as he grew up in Stockton Haeth and lived in HK 20 years but still recognised the accent.

Any way as a Penketh lad with Widnedian parents and married to a scouser and living in Scouseland I am a WARRINGTONIAN.

I've lived in Manchester for 9 years, Warringtonians, on the whole sound more Mancunian than Liverpudlian. However it is still a disctinct accent as far as I'm concerned.

I always tell people I come from Warrington. Firstly, because it's the truth, and secondly, because I'm proud of it. Everyone I know since I've moved here know that and are aware of my Wire affliction* and ask me about the games. I've had very senior people in work this week ask me if I'm going Wembley. Manchester and Liverpool are great cities with their own identity. We've got ours. Let's keep it that way.

*as we're not w*nky anymore, that some probably say affiliation

Glazebrook

What with 65-75% of my family being from Liverpool on my dad's side (technically I'm 50% scouse), I have a Warrington accent but certain words seem to have a scouse twang.

My sister however seems to talk with a hybrid Bewsey/Manc accent, but she lives with a scouser.

I've lived in Manchester for over seven years, and my sister has lived in St. Helens for a similar amount of time. We grew up in Old Hall.

We both work in the same place (in Manchester) and people at work think I've got a Scouse accent and she hasn't. I know a lot of Scousers through supporting Liverpool and every single one thinks I sound like a Manc. A lad at work (from Salford) who supports United and has a couple of mates from Warrington who do tells me they talk Manc but he finds Liverpool/Everton fans from Warrington sound Scouse to him, even me with fairly long term Manchester residency.

It's a weird accent and no mistake.

Glazebrook - make it 6!

Warrington was not a major Roman town.The Romans only stopped to here to build an easy bridge at Bridgefoot ( made possible because of the shallowness of the water.) They were travelling to Deva ( Chester) from Colchester (forget name) and York (Ebor).

Warrington was known as Weirdton until the 18th century ims.

Latchford was where the brothels were in roman times. Not much has changed.

that Ikea advert saying we were in manchester got on my Moobs. Swedish s

Must admit when the county boundaries changed and we got kicked out of Lancashire I wish we'd gone into Merseyside rather than Cheshire.

Don`t class myself as living in Cheshire or being born in Lancashire. I`m a Warringtonian from Warrington. No denying we`re a different breed.
