I was rather drunk at that game, early morning start on the train from Leeds and all that, I don't think I've actually seen the game at all despite being in the stadium at the time.
Just don't ask me what happened to 1972 either, I don't remember the whole year...

If you'd been hit by a car and transported back Sam Tyler stylee the whole year would have been a novelty for you.
Just remember the years of Red Rum's National wins so you can make a few bob out of the experience.  |

Sorry, it is a Wigan song for me all the way this one. It became their anthem throughout their record breaking CC run. My memories of the song are losing to Wigan... on many CC occasions. |

I was just thinking something similar ... By the time I get in at my usual time tomorrow, we'll still be behind on the scoreboard.

Still the first half is worth it, even if it's just for the "WTF" moment when Wardy drops the goal just before half time.  |

Without a doubt, its a fantastic song. how many of todays team could sing it?
I was thinking simply the best because John was that, nothing to do with Wigan, it was the Winfield cup anthem of the time. anyway keep right on to the end of the road will get a airing somewhere along the line if wardy has anything to do with it! |

The chorus of the song is the traditional Loiner anthem, here's the lyrics Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end,
Tho' the way be long, let your heart be strong,
Keep right on round the bend.
Tho' you're tired and weary still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
Where all the love you've been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road. [/i
Youtube is your friend to get an idea of the tune ...
There are a few clips of Birmingham City fans singing it on there too, to give you a bit of an idea of what it sounds like with a crowd singing it. |

IIRC it was actually used on the Winfield Cup pre-season TV ad and didn't Tina actually appear in the ad?
It was then brought to British RL and because Wigan were just starting their run of dominance it became the song that got played after final wins etc. As such, it became a Wigan song by default. |
