Hahahahhahahaha watch @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 put all of the blame on his beloved Sladey as soon as he has a bad game!!
problem is ESB would insist on drafting Slade in as manager. Though if the game's at the start of September he'll probably be free by then.
What about Cornwall?
So where was Scunny when it was in North Humberside?It's the old county border between Yorkshire (north) and Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire (Midlands)
Will you change your username to Chester or Manchester-Loyal blue that's what we all want to know?There's a good chance I'll be moving to Chester or Manchester by the end of the year, will keep an eye out for anyone based around that neck of the woods as I will still want to come back for the games
Sounds good where do you all meet??we have 6 in the peak district ccfc supporters club all based in the hope valley went to 35 games last season
Manchester Piccadilly station could be a good meeting point, as you can pretty much get anywhere from that place??There's a good chance I'll be moving to Chester or Manchester by the end of the year, will keep an eye out for anyone based around that neck of the woods as I will still want to come back for the games
So where was Scunny when it was in North Humberside?
Those who count Lincolnshire in the Midlands do so because it is one of the Shires. Manchester used to be part of Lancashire so used to be in the Midlands? Lancashire goes up to Cumbria.
Do you want to try and tell people that live on the coast that they live in the Midlands?

Ah yes Stoke. That place nowhere near the sea.Am from south Cheshire originally and that's north .... But ten mins down the road you cross into Staffordshire at the outskirts of Stoke and that is very defintely midlands.
No.
So the Met office tells you exactly where the Midlands is. It names the boundaries and what is included in the middle of them. And it is a government body. The government decides the boundaries and names.No.
North: the historical i.e. pre 1974 counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Westmorland, Yorkshire, Northumberland and Cumvlberland.
Midlands: the pre 1974 counties of Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Rutland, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire.
Clearly within the north there is north west and north east, and in the midlands there is the east midlands and west midlands, but there is a clear divide

I'm about 15 minutes drive from Stoke and it's a different world there. Never eaten an oatcake and proud of it.Being a shire has nothing to do with it. You can be on the coast and in the midlands. Girlfriend is from Lincoln and agrees the whole county is midlands includong the northern bits thay have had their local govt mucked around fot years.

Co. Durham disappeared from the face of the earth!No.

I'm guessing you followed the well trodden path of sharpening your commercial awareness with the Dealers (District Manager?) for a few years before bigger and better things at head office? Just can't picture you in a Rover 600 or whatever chasing the figures whilst grabbing a pork pie and lukewarm tea for your lunch.I had a job as an area manager and looked after the North West at one point which included Manchester and on another occasion the East Midlands - which included Lincoln
What a surprise.
I came up with an accurate guide. Grendel comes up with what is called the rough guide.
The Midlands is an actual area. When you drive through Lincolnshire you will see on some signposts the way to the Midlands. Why do they bother if you are already there?

The Mt Office are not the government; they're a government agency which is independly run. So no, I do not consider their definitions worthwhile. The fact is, there is the East Midlands consisting of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Rutland, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire and the West Midlands consisting of Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire.
In the North it is the same: North West is the old counties of Cheshire, Lancashire, Westmorland and Cumberland, which corresponds to today's north-west of Cumbria, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, the rump lancashire, various unitary authorities in Cheshire, and the East/West Cheshire split. Meanwhile the north east is the old Northumberland and County Durham. Yorkshire is not North East as such but nor is it Midlands or North West. It is 100% north though.
My mistake!!!
Whreabouts are you?
For my sins I'm in Crewe. No man's land really as I reckon the North doesn't start till you cross the Thelwall Fireduck.The Mt Office are not the government; they're a government agency which is independly run.

Lol. Meanwhile us plebs on the Commercial side were tramping round in a 1.6 or 2.0 barge, latterly a 1.9 oil burner whilst dreaming of something exotic like Steak Canadian and chips for lunch.Made me laugh but it was always a Daimler or an XKR and a very expensive expensed lunch in my day I would have you know.
Why are you being so difficult?
There is a district called THE MIDLANDS. Nothing to do with Lincolnshire or any other district with the word MIDLANDS in it. How many times have you seen signs saying THE MIDLANDS? I have shown you an official map showing you where it is. I habe shown you the words describing what area it covers. Just face it. You are wrong this time.
Or do you travel to Skeggy following signs for the Midlands?

Is there a district called THE NORTH then?
Yes that's right, you can.You can get pretty much anywhere from a major railway station you say?
Yes there is a place called the Midlands and Lincs is part of it. And yes that includes Skegmess.
You know you are wrong when Grendel agrees with you.
So what is so difficult to understand? The Midlands is the bit in the middle. The original Midlands. They then named other parts. The bit you keep going on about....Lincolnshire.....was put into East Midlands. That isn't THE MIDLANDS. It is miles away. The Midlands is exactly where I showed you the map and an explanation of the exact boundaries.
