Site Supporter Spider Posted January 23, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2021 We’ve been part of Manchester for 30 odd years. Apart from Horwich, which is vying to maintain its Lancastrian roots of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadRunnerFan Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I'm with Royal & Escobarp. A name change to Bolton Wanderers of Manchester FC would inevitably follow, and what a welcome filip that would be for our global brand advancement.

Youri McAnespie Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 (edited) On current displays I suggest: 'Bolton Manchester Tarts FC'. In non-wumland I know folk living a stone's throw from Manchester proper who are proud Salfordians... Bolton will never be part of Manchester. But I've always been glad of it and it's proximity. There's a direct train at 22:24, I could get dressed now, take a leisurely walk to the station and be in Manchester City Centre for ten to eleven... If traffic's bad it can take longer to get to, say, Harwood or Belmont Road... Edited January 23, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not in Crawley Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Is his argument that by making it like london's boroughs it'll help it compete? Like living here in bromley, it's a London Borough, but has its own postcode and I write Kent in my address. I don't think Gtr Manchester could work like Gtr London because as he himself says its a collection of villages, the towns of gtr Manchester have too much individual identity. Plus London has grown and consumed throughout history (there's even poems about it around some Kent villages about if London comes over the hills and pulls them in, always remember this was a village etc etc) The North West didn't develop like that.

Just kick Wiggin into Merseyside and it will be reet. Leigh is in Wigan 😁 Edited January 23, 2021 by Escobarp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh is Leigh, it's like no other place on earth, the home of joggers, slag wellies, Lonsdale and people with no teeth, I'm like Simon Cowell around here, me and the missus are the only ones with teeth, although Leigh White still has 3 of his own...apparently 😁 He does I can verify that 🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
