The language, accents, general demeanour north of the county is nothing like around the Furness/duddon estuary area. Anywhere that calls a bun a teacake is no area of mine! 😂
You could say the same for Lancashire. Lancastrians are not interested in Barrow. They see it as being in Cumbria, which it is.
Its just a name at the end of the day. But I feel no affinity at all with those areas north of us. Personal preference I suppose.
Millom has always been in Cumberland/Cumbria but no one north of it is interested. Seems to be a black hole around the duddon estuary that neither county has much interest in. Perhaps a breakaway county is in order 😂
We hate Carlisle United, we hate Workington too (and Morecambe), we hate Accrington Stanley but Barrow we love you :scarf:

Going to be re-classified as South Lakes shortly aren’t we?
We will follow the soccer, over land and sea...

No - only the admin changes. Still Historic Lancashire and Ceremonial Cumbria.

the mighty only Cumbrian team were humbled by the yorkshire wannabees... they are NOT what they are made out to be. 22nd April, we will avenge this.. i will say now and stick 100 quid on it, we will make them look inadequate. good backing, vocal and proud, lets put them fu**ers in their box

The difference between us being Lancastrian and being Cumbrian is that we build submarines not care for sheep.

Cumbria is not a county - it is an administrative area.
All counties have been administrative areas since time immemorial. That's what they are.
Don't let the old man in.

As I said Cumbria is not a county. Barrow-in-Furness is in the county of Lancashire.
