Bob Weasel Fox Posted 12 August 2017 Posted 12 August 2017 Any City fans up in the Widnes / Warrington area of the North West at all? i have family up there and they are a mix of Man City / Man U / Liverpool / Everton fans but was just wondering if there any Foxes fans up there at all?
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 14 August 2017 Author Posted 14 August 2017 Anyone up that neck of the woods at all?

Took the family to Gullivers World, which is similar to the one at Matlock Bath, only larger and not on a hillside. Only football shirts I saw were Liverpool. Think they might be more into their rugby league: the stadium seemed impressive. Loads of retail parks, lots of expensive cars around. TBH, that's the only time in my life I've been there, and I'm not sure when I'll be back again for a further report.....

Mayofox Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Well, it was going well, until my youngest, in his wheelchair, tumbled over a kerb and stopped himself with his face !! So we also know the joys of Warrington A+E. At least they give out free crisps and chocolate. Fortunately the marks are healed now (though he too may never return to W********n).

Bless him, hope all is ok now? just in case I haven't mentioned previously but I have a son who lives in Widnes (only 11 bless him) who was a Liverpool fan until they sold Torres to Chelsea when he was 5/6 in 2011 so became a Manchester City fan (I'm still slowly convincing him to turn to the Foxes, however thorn in my side is that his step dad is an Arsenal fan) so he is currently in a 3 way tug of war for his football allegiance

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 22 August 2017 Author Posted 22 August 2017 Just now, billyn88 said: Liverpooooooooool Ah only down the road then. My dad was originally from Birkenhead (and is a Liverpool fan) and my grandad was an Everton fan. I did own a house in Widnes around 10/11 years ago but couldn't transfer my line of work up to there so stayed in sunny Leicestershire and met the current wife.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 24 August 2017 Author Posted 24 August 2017 As an aside if anyone has a couple of spare tickets for the Man City home game this season I would love to take my lad to the game long shot I know
