Having worked in and around Salford for the past 15 years I know the [icity[/i quite well. Although the likes of Dallam & Longford are poor areas, they look like The Hamptons in comparisn to the likes of both Broughtons, Ordsall, Yeast etc. If you think otherwise, which you do based on your comical comment about Salford being 1st class which seems to be an obvious attempt to be ironic, then it would appear you've missed your true vocation in life. Get down to the Comedy Store and get yourself signed up for the Open-Mike night. You'll go down a storm with such a great sense of humour.

Yeah your right. From now on I'll look at Callands in a whole different light. Those pesky roundabouts really do bring the Warrington suburbs down ? And as for those issors Ikea, M&S etc.... don't get me started.

What kind of bizarre, f+cked up thinking does having an Ikea and an M&S equal having a thriving suburban (non-slum like) metropolis???



Another thing, where the hell is Yeast???

bread?



beer?

Why lie?

Warrington, I like it. Culturally it benefits and suffers from it's hybrid-like creation, as a result of the unfairly named 'slum clearances' and overspill operations of the late 50's, 60's and 70's. Of course, this results in relative superficiality and identity... I suppose thie epitomy of this would be the adage 'if it wasn't for IKEA and Warrington RL, we wouldn't know it was there.'

Like most successful RL towns, this is precisely why they're respective RL team's are successful. Besides RL, there's little else to get passionate about.



Now, in Salford, we have a rich and abundant culture. Profound, diverse and until recently, concealed under the shadow of Manchester. Many reports have Salford, a victim of the demise of industrialism, as a resurgent and significant player. The recent successes at the Quays will hopefully continue to influence other regeneration projects in Ordsall and both Broughton's. Projects that have partly resulted in me returning to the city after 15 years in exile in a sleepy village in the pennines.

Hey, I could wax lyrical about how good Salford is all day but for fear of being dragged into a debate over whether Russell Watson or Kerry Katona has contributed more to music that'll undoubtedly unfold at some point, I'll leave it at that.



Like I say, I like Warrington but I'll happily stick with my slums although I suspect they're just a tad better than some misleaders would have you believe.

On another note, we should really have a look at the Wire's playing paradigm because that was one hell of a team I saw yesterday. 21st century RL played to a very decent standard.

It isn't cantilevered, it is propped.

It's amazing a mid-twentieth century hybrid town can provide the birthplace of one of the most famous authors in the world in the early 1800s.

I seriously hope your a child, no I seriously do.

Yes, I'm well aware that Warrington has a history pre-1968. But in the silly 'my willy's bigger than you willy' debate that was beginning to unfold, a little reflection was required. Just to reiterate, I LIKE WARRINGTON. IT JUST DOESN'T COMPARE WITH SALFORD ON SO MANY LEVELS.

All the best for the season and hopefully we can model our club on your successes and add another string to our diverse bow.

can't be bothered with this..................................

Ever been to or heard of Worsley?



Even if your ridiculous statement WERE true, its still a hundred times removed from anywhere in Warrington.
