I moved to Failsworth in 2016 and would tell people I lived half way between Manchester and Oldham.

The Nelson is in Failsworth. No? It was my uncle Ronnies local, at the end of his rd (Newton rd).

Yup, just across the border. No decent pubs left in NH nowadays .... not that the Nelson is too clever either really.

Not heard anything about this rumour apart from on here, so not sure if there's any truth to it. Can see why someone wanting to own a club might look at County though, as they should really be a League Two club with the fanbase they've got. Not owning the stadium has hit them hard though. The Brian Kennedy takeover royally screwed them up as a club.

RE: Stockport. It's always been my understanding that south Manchester types moved further south when that side of the city became geared up for students or a bit gentrified. Stockport being a leafier place to raise the children etc. I've heard Manc accents in Derbyshire etc.

No different to Cockneys in Milton Keynes or Peterborough.

True & true.
Stockport is in Cheshire, but pays rates to Manchester, which is the same for any village in Stockport, so Hazel Grove, High Lane, Cheadle Hulme, Bramhall etc pay rates to Manchester, whereas Disley & Poynton (plus anywhere else heading towards Macc from Poynton) pay their’s to East Cheshire Council. Postal address is Cheshire, Rates is Manchester.

Stockport is not in Cheshire. Its postal address is not Cheshire it is Stockport. The postcode is SK which gives a clue.

I lived in Cheadle Hulme which was SK8 and Cheshire has not been part of the postal address for 40 years or more.

Post codes count for nowt.
Aberystwyth in Wales has a SY post code for Shrewsbury in England.
Ashton has a OL post code for Oldham.
Rochdale has a OL post code for Oldham.
