Sorry to troll on over here from the Wigan site but just wanted to say what a great turnout it was from you guys tonight. You came in your droves and sang all the way through!! Brilliant.
Can I just ask tho, you sing a song about f**k wigan rugby and the IRA and something about buying a flute for 20p! You used to sing it years and years ago when I was a kid and visited Hilton Park - can someone tell me the words? Although I'm a Wigan fan I love songs like that were the whole crowd sing them!!

Chorus is stuff Wigan rugby and the IRA.  Some Leythers live on Higher fold however.  |

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg |

Lets not forget that some of the people singing that song still think we play at Hilton Park and Mick Higgins is the Chairman.

The song isn't funny,witty or clever. It is a small town anthem sung by gobbins.

In the innocence of youth I don't really get the latter part. What has the IRA got to do with anything, and why is it so offensive? I have heard much worse.

I assume it comes from Wigan being more predominantly catholic and Leigh Protestant. I don't even know if that's the case though tbh the vast majority of people I know from either aren't religious

The Watcher always sings the song & did so last night with the vast majority of the Leigh faithful. He believes it is a witty & clever song but mainly it is just a way of cheering your team on & showing support. You really can take life to seriously sometimes you "anti flute song" people.
