What the hell are they Scousers or Mancs

When in Wigan every car had Everton or Liverpool stickers in it and saw few Everton tops floating about. But when you hear the locals speaking they all sound like Mancs. Are they slap bang in the middle or something???

I have always thought Wigan was an extension of Merseyside reinforced by what you see above; but they don't half sound like they could do backing vocals in oasis

the comm on sky at the end referred to Wigan as greater Manchester........Bolton is greater Manchester, not sure about wigan.

just as bad as shepherds bush on matchdays i've seen chelsea tops walking down uxbridge and goldhawk , i used to love that idiot on matchdays that lived on loftus rd that would sit outside his hse in his fulham shirt, he was right by the loft and would go in when the game started. the funny thing is they were at home on the same saturdays as us

Imagine growing up in an area where you had to choose between scouse or manc, now that's bleak.
Slightly akin to being asked whether you'd prefer hanging or the firing squad

Thats a tranmere nickname as well, I wonder what it's about

[loneranger]

Because they used to adore a sheepskin.

[QPReuge]

Do you mean that in a literal sense lones, or does their adoration extend a bit further ?

It's the welsh that worry sheep.the other lot just like wearing them

[QPReuge]

Each to their own I suppose

[Hoop-du-Jour]

I live in Crewe (un-fokin-fortunately), it's all LFC or MUFC here too. Haven't met an Alex supporter yet!

Fair play to Wigan fans when they are surounded by those.
