I agree with this. Took my 7 year old to Wigan and was wincing throughout.
The flute song does not bother me too much as I grew up with it and it is a bit of a tradition. Would I rather it not be sung? Yes. Casual, appalling language chanted throughout is much worse. Openly expressing hatred for anyone is just appalling. How is it OK to teach kids that you can hate someone because they live 7 miles down the road?
If I go to another away game with him, I won't be sitting with the Leigh fans and I'd expect many other parents to make the same choice.
The club has already done a bit by promoting a new song and should keep up the pressure.
Well I stand with my kids in the North Stand and both are graduates and I/they dont have a problem.As above change the songs..God forbid fighting in the North Stand amongst ourselves we'd be hung drawn and quartered.
We are in SL and we have a lot eyes upon us being the new kids on the block..LSV is a fortress,lets not make it a laughing stock..You don't always have to follow the leader,they soon shut up,if you dont.

But within the ' songs/chants ' sung that include swear words there isn't a single one that is actually supportive/positive to the club or the team , every single one is abusive/aggressive aimed at the supporters of the team we are playing or Wigan
Anybody singing or supporting the singing of those songs/chants is an idiot , it isn't big and it isn't funny'"
.....He use to be e but now he's alright
I remember some idiot singing that in full voice in the Albert and lion not to long ago

I was singing it on Thursday when Mick was walking the kids past , but " sh!ite " is a bit different to F*****G and the peado song or a reference to the IRA IMO
I took up Mr Beaumont and Mr Koukash's very generous offer yesterday and attended the Salford/Cas game, there was a good crowd on with both popular ends well attended especially the Cas end which was packed I believe they took 2K along.
Some posters on this thread are of the opinion that other teams chant obscene songs, well I must say it was not evident yesterday from both sets of supporters.
What is quite evident on this thread is the variation in self and life standards that people class themselves, unfortunately when other supporters from other clubs comment on the Leigh chants it is the all Leigh Fans who are tarnished with the same brush, not just those who believe it is right and proper to do so.
