It does appear that Leeds have the monopoly on fans who are complete weapons.

| Quote: MOT "They were promoted the season before so do you think they should be realistically be aiming to win the league? I think any club would aim to stay in the league and slowly progress which they did'" No, that's not what I'm saying, the fact that there was a team in the league who's only realistic goal was to avoid being the worst team (and even that was a massive ask) is wrong. But as you said, I don't really have an issue with a newly promoted team chanting about staying up because that was their only real hope, and for them staying up was an achievement because of the massive odds stacked against them. For any other team to celebrate narrowly avoiding relegation is nonsense, I remember hearing Wigan fans chanting in 2006(?) which was just stupid.

Every team should hope to make progress in every season. If you win promotion one year and stay up the next then that's a higher finish than the previous season. I can't see why progress shouldn't be celebrated.

| Quote: headhunter "The fact that a team was put in a position which meant that finishing second bottom was considered a remarkable achievement sums up everything that was wrong with automatic P&R. If there was no P&R, you wouldn't have been chanting 'We are second bottom'. It's no achievement, other than the fact that the old system of P&R was so illogical that finishing second bottom was actually a great result and massive overachievement for a promoted club.
Again, if a team's target is to avoid finishing bottom then there is something fundamentally wrong with the system. That aside, every team's goal should be to win their respective league, a Championship team earning promotion would have achieved that whereas a SL team avoiding relegation has simply avoided being the worst, they've still ultimately failed at their goal which should have been to finish as high as possible.'"
As a fan of a team that has both stayed up on the last day and also been relegated, I can say that staying up was a HUGE achievement and well worth celebrating especially when after relegation we were down for a few years and also almost stopped existing.
If you were a proper fan you'd know this.

| The only chants which bother me are ones which have an overly aggressive element. Often started as sectarian chants at sporting events I'd rather not attend.
We've all heard them, and I groan when our lot starts one up. I've no desire to shoot anyone and rugby league fans are a good bunch in general so I wouldn't describe any set of fans as scum. There is playful rivalry which drives the sport and then there is a plain bad taste bad example.

| Of course, I get it now Headhunter. Without relegation no team can finish bottom! And we ALL get to celebrate at the end of the season. Well, those of us that go and understand what's going on. What rot
You should watch the Harlem Globetrotters and whip yourself into a frenzy over a true pointless exhibition team!

Why would I want to Chant anything?
It suggests mindless people.

| Not a chant, but the big-hand-clap that some fans do after a try is extremely irritating.
