So where is Widnes then?? : Sun Jun 21, 2009 9:54 pm  
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 :wink:

Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”

There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back!

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.

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.
