about

Song written by Matt Swift.
Inspired by Wigan Warriors achievement in reaching their 30th Challenge Cup Final.

The song was played at the DW stadium at the end of the game vs Hull KR, something which I'm very proud of!

Soon to be made available on iTunes & other good Download sites.

lyrics

The Wembley Arch -
(Wigan Challenge Cup Song)

Verse 1.
25 Miles from Manchester
There's a town always in my heart
Where they sing about greats like
Iro, Bill Boston, Edwards, Blan

Verse 2.
There's a pier that leads to nowhere
All the factories closed down
If you need a beer or friendly ear
I'm sure there's enough to go around

Verse 3.
Wigan's part of Lancashire
Let nobody be confused
Where they wear flat caps
And say strange things
Like "areet mucca owe do?"

Verse 4.
If you go down on a friday
You're in for a big suprise
As the girls are dressed up to the nines
Eating meat and prata pies

Verse 5.
I remember big offiah
Way Back in 94'
Tearing down the centre
As the rhino's watched in awe
Then Super Kris Radlinski's
Foot it saved the day
With a highland fling, we danced a jig
To Saint Helen's dismay.

Verse 6.
We've won that big old trophy
18 times before
With everyone else in our shadow
We are hungry, we want more
Sean Wayne had best be ready
When he hears that Wigan roar!
Take us back to the glorious 80s
Within our second home

Chorus.
Cos we're all off to Wembley
The town'll be empty by half
With the cherry & whites we'll never look back cos they're always in our hearts and now we're back
At the Wembley Arch

Bridge Part.
Hated.
Rated.
But never ignored.
My wife said its me or Wigan Warriors
I'll miss her so much
When Wembley's in touch
Oh Wigan is the rugby town for me.
