What do people think of the council's investment strategy? Plenty being said on social media - but nothing on here.

A true gentleman who i had the pleasure of meeting on several occasions over the years. He was always supportive of Warrington Town, signing shirts for the club several times. Last time I saw him was on Warrington town's famous FA Cup run.

Nice to know Reader is still going strong - from memory a gentleman with a first name beginning with R. Did he divulge why we had lost him?

Nope - the jokes section in particular allegedly contains some politically incorrect stuff which has been deemed offensive

I've done two forum upgrades in the space of a week - hopefully no teething problems!

Absolutely not!

Staycations for me until the day you can get back on a plane as normal! https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-total-chaos-at-uk-airports-on-busiest-weekend-this-year-with-covid-checks-and-lack-of-staff-blamed-12363202

I know Warrington has a long history of munitions - but was surprised to see a local company not only still operating but updating!

Good to see the return of the Warrington Regatta - the event has a long history in our town. Warrington Regatta

Proud of you Sid!

Unfortunately the more members, the more running costs and the more hassle for me as Dizzy rarely appears these days (Not having a go as I know she is very busy working and on facebook ) Because of the millions of spammers who try and join the joining process is fairly rigorous and we don't even allow people with gmail accounts to join. Every now and again someone emails in saying please let them join, we go to the trouble of manually creating their account - and guess what they rarely ever post and are not seen again. We are also undergoing a revamp of the main site and our web developers have said the forum could drag the reputation of the site down because ITHO there are some racist and not politically correct posts on the forum which could damage our reputation. You have to remember around 90 pc of you fall into the Grumpy Old Men category these days (probably me included). So is anyone willing to come on board as a moderator and share the responsibilty and the legal fees? Even with the adverts this forum costs best part of £1k a year to run and maintain properly - and the more members it gets the more expensive it gets. The vast majority of our forum membersm, being grumpy old men also have ad blocker on so the returns are almost non existence towards the running costs.

Wire seem to be developing a pattern when playing the underdog - without realising every dog has its day!

So the mighty Manchester United finished one place above the "worst defending champions of all time" who stuffed them at the Theatre of Clowns in the most recent encounter when United fielded their strongest team! They go on to represent our country in a European Final and get beaten by a team from a town of 50,000 people who haven't ever won a trophy before and get beaten on penalties by a goalscoring goalkeeper! The future looks great!

Thankfully no recorded Indian variants in Warrington as yet and positive tests at an equal all time low since records began . https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2021/05/21/positive-covid-19-tests-in-warrington-at-equal-lowest-level-since-pandemic-data-started/
