A quick browse on the Crewe forum suggests they regard themselves as northerners.
Most of the assorted Smoggies, Mackems and Geordies I endure on a daily basis would regard the idea of Cheshire being in the north as incomprehensible. They just about accept Yorkshire and Lancashire as being northern and regard Cheshire as dangerously close to being Welsh.
People from Birmingham have no problem with calling themselves Midlanders, but people who live north of Brum but south of Lancashire and Yorkshire do seem to have a bit of an identity crisis - many of them want to be northerners but aren't accepted as such by the genuine article.
So I put it to the good people of shrimperzone to decide on the status of our much loved chums from Crewe
