Dont need to ask my parents im 27 years old, i live in middleton MANCHESTER. I pay my council tax to manchester council. And if im being as pedantic as you are then, middleton isnt IN rocdale its a just within rochdale borough, there is a border, hence the welcome to middleton, welcome to rochdale signs.

Paul scholes was the only MANC to play in the derby on sat, why does this bother people so much? ffs we really are clutching at straws, first the trafford thing and now this. soon u will have to live on deansgate to be called a manc.

ahh cheers cleared things up a little, still dont understand why its split between two councils? its irrelevent anyway im bored of it now. better go support rochdale eh lol

Just exactly HOW is Paul Scholes a Manc?

He was born in Salford and brought up in the Oldham area.

The only link he has personally to Manchester is that he travels through it to get to Old Trafford... which is also not in Manchester!

;-))

hey i might be shite at geography (lol) but i do know paul scholes was brought up on langley. jesus his name gets thrown around way too much by fake tv rags round here for him not to be. Im bored too now i really dont care i sound like im a huge scholes fan which im not hes as much as a twat as the rest of the em.

Paul Scholes ended my football career, shame hes a red but as a person hes not too bad, quiet family man who has helped me out for charity work.

From Middleton isn't he. Which is technically in Greater Manchester. So he could legitimately be called a manc.


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

Born in Salford.

Which isn't in Manchester.

And Middleton is in Rochdale. So you're even wrong with that one!

So Middleton IS in Rochdale..?

I didn't realise we were restricting it to specific timescales.

Saddleworth used to be in Yorkshire. But it is now in Lancashire.

I don't get your point...

ps the niceties of Ottawa's geography are totally lost on me, sorry :)

Why not. Here you go. Ottawa covers all this land. The names in black are the names of villages, towns and Burroughs while the pink bits are the developed areas. The rest is all valleys and forests. God bless Canada and it's immensity.

For anyone who cares, Scotiabank Place is located in Kanata. That's teh home of the Ottawa Senators. Once we get our football team, (fingers crossed I wont be waiting 10 years), the Stadium will be right there as well.

Rochdale was in Greater Manchester the last time I looked. Or do the maps in your house have different boundaries on them. Are they special maps ? Where can I get one from ?
Or is it just that in your haste to have a pop you ended up looking like a twat ?

In local government terms, Middleton is Rochdale. I used to work for the council and so I know these things.
