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.
