Re: Keane, Carra, Neville and Souness
Often quoted that because Old Trafford is next to Salford Quays that Man U play in Salford. This bit is definitely not true. (Ish)
Turns out Manchester as we know it used to be part of the Salford Hundred, aka Salfordshire. This was one of the subdivisions of Historic Lancashire (the others being Amounderness, Blackburn, Leyland, Lonsdale and West Derby).
Manchester was a Parish in Salfordshire. Bizarrely, one of the Townships in the Parish of Manchester was Salford (the judicial centre of Salfordshire was here, hence the name). The Parish of Manchester was essentially made up of what we currently know as the City of Manchester (which is also a borough of Greater Manchester), along with small parts of other Greater Manchester boroughs, including Salford and Trafford.
The small area of the Borough of Trafford which could be found in the Manchester Parish was Stretford; home to Old Trafford.
So although Man U might technically play in Trafford, and not the City of Manchester, they certainly do play in the historic Parish of Manchester, which was historically part of Salfordshire. But they absolutely do not play in the City of Salford. Or it's borough.
At least that's what I think...

Depends very much when you are defining it in history. Salford was a city when Tatton still owned Manchester, the town.

I can see Mancunians and Salfordians fighting over this tonight: "You have them!"; "No, you have them!". There's a perfectly decent 30k stadium in Milton Keynes if it comes to that.

Can we stick to the situation as it is now? Old Trafford is in Trafford.
The ground safety certificate is issued by Trafford Council
Trafford Town Hall is opposite the cricket ground.
Banging on about Salford is just plain wrong, it's a bit like saying Burnley is in Yorkshire.

Re: Keane, Carra, Neville and Souness
Salford is not really on the North Bank of the Irwell.
The Irwell runs mainly North to South from near Bacup. In the Greater Manchester region, it bends Westward, then Eastward, then Westward again as it turns into the Ship Canal, before it ends where it meets the Mersey.
The historic county of Salford (not Salfordshire aka Salford Hundred) mainly lies on the North side of final Westward turn. But it also includes Broughton on the East side of the bend. The river is not the defining border. It has more of a border with the current City of Salford, but again, saying it lies on the North side of the river is misleading, as it mainly lies on the West Side.
The river also doesn't go near Newton Heath. Newton Heath is in the East of Manchester, the Irwell runs down the West side, 5km away. If you were to give the Irwell a North-South divide rather than its more accurate East-West divide, then Newton Heath still wouldn't be on the North Bank, it would be on the South Bank.
Newton Heath has never been part of Salford
Stretford has never been part of Salford
And I've got absolutely no idea what Peterloo has to do with it

Newton Heath is half way to Oldham. It's about 2 miles east of man city's ground.
It's certainly nowhere near Salford
I am trying to get my head around what you are thinking about Elwa. You aren't thinking about the Mersey and the Cheshire Lancashire border which is generally North/South?

Re: Keane, Carra, Neville and Souness
Not arguing the current border, as frankly I don’t care (not being snotty). But the Irewell starting in Bacup fed directly into the Mersey, so definitely East to West (as well as heading south) obviously the ship canal did not follow the natural course of the Irwell so from Worsley you need to consult old maps.2 Bee Holed wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 10:25 amAs rooster says, the Irwelli is generally North/South so Salford, Manchester is generally an East/ West thing.

I’ve actually been looking at the route… past Warrington. It is the reason academics are now placing the Celtic Setantii tribe in East Lancashire. Setantii means water people…. And they used the Irewell as their motorway to the Mersey and onto Inis Fail (modern Ireland) for trade. People also talk about Mammacam being Manchester, strictly speaking it was Castleford / field, not Manchester…. Castle- ford, (old name) ford on the Irewell.

Also, coming at it from a historical pov… Salford was a pre industrial revolution ‘City’ while Manchester was just a hamlet/village.
Sorry I know this isn’t for everyone, but old boundaries and water courses fascinate me.

Re: Keane, Carra, Neville and Souness
Depends on your use of the word ‘argument.’ Historians set a mean path by ‘argument’… a collective group of historians is itself known as “an argument of historians”… if you mean it as a derogation term, I see no one falling out… just discussing. It’s called debate and is perfectly healthy.

Re: Keane, Carra, Neville and Souness
I can see why we wander far from an original post it's Elwa.
We have moved from Old Trafford being in Salford, to the Roman history of Manchester.
Agricula was a centre forward for Man Utd. They got changed in a fort built at the confluence of the Irwell and Medlock. They called it Mamucium (breast shaped hill). Mamucium was in current day Castlefield, which is an area within the City of Manchester.
Guess what, this is still not in Salford.

On the same theme, Man City wasn't in Manchester when they were founded. They were in West Gorton, named Ardwick AFC, When parts of Gorten were gobbled up into Manchester they wisely changed their name to Manchester City. Very forward thinking at the time.
I think the only time to veto a team is when you get a situation such as Coventry a couple of seasons ago.

Anyway. I've checked the historical boundaries, and the old route of the Irwell. And yes, elwa is getting the Mersey and Irwell confused.
The Irwell has never flowed near Warrington
The River Mersey was partially diverted by the MSC to bypass Warrington, but the original Mersey still flows through it
