| Quote: The Watcher "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.'"
Correct,people must lead a very sheltered life if they get offended by that song,as you say its just a way of getting behind your team,probably the loudest song of the night. |

When I was young and had some sense
I bought a flute for 20 pence
The only tune that I could play
Was stuff Wigan Rugby and the IRA

| Quote: Grimmy "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'"
More like they only had to change 'The pope' to 'Wigan Rugby'. Changing more lyrics would be too hard a task for them. |

It's just a way to get the words "F*c* Wigan Rugby" into a song - dozens of football clubs use it to abuse ther rivals, can't see nowt wrong with it myself. No one compalins when Saints chant "The referees a w*ank*r" every 5 minutes. Stop being preachy and get on with life!!

The very idea that folk in Leigh who join in with that song are bothered about Catholics or Protestants is silly.
The last line is because it scans.
Can you imagine that folk seriously equate Wigan with the loathsome IRA ?
Oh yeh you can't play the flute unless you are a Protestant.  |
