Cumbria Nines

[JAYFORHAVEN]

I was born in Cumberland & westmorland but i have always been a cumbrian and this is where the name of cumbria came from but if you where born in cumberland & westmorland that is what it says on your birth certificate.They can change a boundary but they can not change where you where born.

Correct and I always state Barrow in Furness Lancashire when I am asked my place of birth, but Barrow in Furness Cumbria when asked where I live now.

The orginal post which I replied to stating that anyone born south of Millom shouldn't be in a Cumbria team is pure nonsense, as I doubt that any of the current 9s team will have been born in Cumberland as this county hasn't existed since 1974.

As for Barrow being part of Cumbria - can someone explain what the Town has contributed to the rest of Cumberland's rich history and the cultural similarities between Barrow and the rest of Cumbria.

What a stupid and narrow minded statement.....no wonder Haven fans are called deluded....you should be ashamed of yourself
