Less than a week to the launch of The Cat on 87.7 FM , with bags of music, local chat, news, sport and interviews. The area needs its own station, with the BBC covering either Stoke or Manchester and a host of other stations dotted around the area but ignoring us. The Cat will be a proper Crewe and Nantwich station. As detailed before on Crewe blog the station goes live next Tuesday 29th July and will...

I've been meaning to get back to posting more regularly for a while, and I notice that back in May, almost 2 months ago, I promised to discuss Crewe & Nantwich. Of course, since that by-election there's been Henley and Howden & Haltemprice. Before the local elections, and even with them, it could be claimed that Labour was just in the middle of a normal 'mid-term blues' patch. The local elections in...

Fears that the new Cheshire East power base will see Crewe left in the cold were fuelled this week as council leaders agreed to site the new admin HQ at Sandbach. The purpose-built Congleton Borough Council office will only accommodate around 56 of the 81 recently-elected Cheshire East councillors, but others sites ( inc Crewe's Muni Buildings and Macclesfield ) were deemed unsuitable. It now means...

There was a familiar face back in Crewe on Saturday. In fact, there were some very familiar looking shirts as well. Whatever, it was great to see some footy of a Saturday afternoon. Back to the story and older Alex fans will recall a talented, tough-tackling midfielder called Steve Walters. He had the tracksuit on but the boots have been hung up as the Crewe lad is now concentrating on management with...

Busy one today, inc shopping with the kids and Mrs Crewe blog, over to the Sherborne estate for the family fun day, dodging the rain, then a footy fix at Legends where former Alex player Steve Walters arrived with his Welsh side Rhos Aelwyd to play Crewe FC. More snaps on Sunday and Monday, but until then it doesn't get much more exciting than a Spot the Ball competition. Just for fun, but have a guess...

Forget those national headlines about building firms crumbling and the property market crashing. Ok, it's not looking too rosy. However, at least a few schemes are up and running around Crewe. Not really one of those quiz questions - especially if you noticed a big crane on the town centre landscape over the last few days - but where do you reckon this is? Full details to follow...

Back to the music for a moment. There are some decent bands coming to town over the next couple of weeks, with Hayseed Dixie, Dodgy and Ocean Colour Scene all likely to pull in big crowds at Crewe's M Club . So, with the blog approaching the one quarter of a million visits milestone some time during the next week we thought we'd have a competition. Have a guess at the date and time when we'll click...

Admin : You know that guy upstairs? Dan*? He pinched me with a pair of tweezers on that fatty bit you get on your hips and it *really hurt*. So I went back and burned him with a spoon.
