Stoke-on-Trent

[Skip Donoghue]

Could be wrong but I think Port Vale are the oldest club in the potteries.

Not sure about that as I think Stoke are the 2nd oldest football league club behind notts county, I could be wrong, maybe port vale where founded before Stoke but joined the football league after them, possible

Trafford is in Greater Manchester.

Does that mean United come from Manchester then?

In your haste to be an internet warrior, you missed

Going off the same logic, Wigan are going to change their name to Manchester Athletic.

Then again your intention was purely to troll and be a ****.

I don't need maps. I'm just a clever bastard.

You're half right.

Glad you at least didn't bother arguing the toss about Scholes though.

It wasn't my intention to argue, I actually thought he was a Middleton lad. You steamed in with a big hard on having a pop. Have I fucked your mother or something ?

Otherwise you would have looked an even bigger tosser..

Oh I think it's obvious who the tosser is.

Best to limit your show of ignorance when you can...

I think I'll sink to your level now "Go and suck a dogs arse, you window licking prick"

Aren't you the brainbox that said Burnley is a city in an earlier thread?

And you think you can give me geography lessons?

Pah!

Just let it go... being offensive doesn't make you right.

In fact it proves my point.

symantics...port vale are in burslam, 1 of the towns that make up stoke

it's similar to saying notts county are the only club in nottm

Semantics my arse. Port Vale is a lot closer to the centre of Stoke than the Britannia and about the same distance as Stokes old ground.
Drury was talking out of his arse.

Well here's some more semantics. No way is Port Vale nearer to Stoke than the Britannia. You might argue it's nearer to Hanley which is the sort of centre these days. The true Stoke is further south and near the railway station and the old victoria ground. You can walk from Stoke station to the Britannia but there is now way you would walk from there to Port Vale.

You're spot on with that.

I lived in Stoke (town) for three years and I walked to the Briannia when we played there in a friendly in 2005.

I also saw us play Vale in a friendly and a testimonial and I would never have dreamt of walking to Vale Park.

However, my original point was that Stoke-on-Trent is not a one-club city.

And I totally agree with you on that.

There is only one Machester. THE City of Manchester... Or the REPUBLIC of Mancunia ;-) ... Trafford, Salford, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Bolton, Wigan all make up the massive urban sprawl of Greater Manchester but they are not THE one and only TRUE Manchester. End of!

 

[Citizen of Ottawa]

Are those all towns that were eventually built right into the city? That's kind of happening with Stittsville and Ottawa now. Stittsville is pretty much linked with Kanata through Hazeldean road and around The Scotiabank Place. I'm not sure if it's an actual burrough of Ottawa yet though.

 

[cavalier Jackson]

I thought Scholes was from Stretford? His old man was definitely. Not that it fucking matters like.

He was behind me in the queue in Sainsburys Ashton a while back. I couldn't believe how small the gobshite was

 

[fuzz barricade]

Scholes is a ginger ****. and should only be referd to as that not manc not zimbabwaien. a ginger ****

 

[BufordUSABlue]

No, he's from Salford ;)

Indeed.

Quote:

Scholes was born at Hope Hospital in Salford, Greater Manchester, to parents Stewart and Marina Scholes. The family moved to Langley area of Middleton, Greater Manchester when he was 18 months old where he lived on Bowness Road, and later Talkin Drive.[9] He attended the St Mary's RC Primary School in Langley. The first team he played for was Langley Furrows despite being an Oldham Athletic supporter. Scholes also excelled at cricket. At age 14, he began training with Manchester United.[10] He then later joined as a trainee upon leaving the Cardinal Langley Roman Catholic High School in Middleton during the summer of 1991.[9] In his final term at school, he was selected to represent Great Britain National Schools in football.
