    **** The Pogues, we'd have the Oldham Tinkers or some other Lancashire folk band do a cover.

    The song was originally written about Salford in 1949 by Ewan MacColl before it got sang by The Pogues.

    He was from Salford and (Presumably) of Irish heritage. I don't see the problem, most people I know have Irish family including me, we just don't bang on about it like the bloody Yanks.

    Really? Most people of Irish descent I know cheer on England and couldn't give a toss about ROI. I can't speak for them as I only have an Irish Grandma.

    But, at the end of the day, the song was written about Salford, Lancashire, and that's why it should be our wonderful County's anthem.

    If Hitchin ever becomes an Independent republic then this should be its anthem:
