I have to agree with Reffy. We are trying to promote a family club and aggressive behaviour between fans is not on I front of kids. Banter yes. Bullying foul mouth rubbish no.

Onwards and upwards - LTID:



Cant comment on the North Stand, but I'm with Charlie on this one - a couple of middle aged Keighley fans were asking for trouble with the Barlow goading. No idea what that was about, but very much doubt they would have said it to his face icon_biggrin.gif

Plenty of swearing from the polite fans in the West Stand too - every time Leigh dropped the ball. And that happened rather a lot!

Reffy you should know me by now , I never bat nowt over the net icon_eek.gif the Keighley fans in the West Stand were the culprits , myself I don't swear , I don't find a need to , nor am I one for losing my temper , but I do say what I see , and will never be provoked or bullied by anyone , it was Rachs holier than thou attitude that prompted my response , I normally take a light hearted outlook on everything .

Quote: Leyther_Matt "Personally I thought it was the best atmosphere in a while and the Cougars fans more than added to that.'"

They certainly did in what could otherwise of been a very flat atmosphere. All their fans appeared to enjoy themselves. My comment was very much tongue in cheek.

Charlie, if you want to see holier than thou attitudes then read back some of the regulars' comment after away matches.
Every team has its share of foul mouthed gobbins but every team also has a few wise monkeys who won't admit it.

Quote: HalifaxCougar "No swear word was used. Leigh fans did swear though and a lady had to say something to them. Guess you didn't hear that though ? selective hearing no doubt.


They did swear in that chant I can assure you but look im not making a big deal of it. It was all pretty much light hearted banter and generally a very good atmosphere. Thats how I interpreted it but you are quite correct in my hearing not quite being as good as it once was.

Reffy , I realise all clubs has its share of folk that chant things that are not needed , ive been watching Leigh for many years now and it was the same in those early days stood on the Railway End .For me the 2 worst places for foul chants and intimidation are Haven and Fev ,last night was down to 4 Keighley fans in the West Stand , the Leigh fans involved were just telling them to turn it down a bit .

Holier than thou attitude my behind .... no problem with banter mate but when it gets to enduring 80 mins of puerile infantile comments about inbreds and F***in off back to Yorkshire that's when I get slightly pee-d off. It wouldn't be acceptable anywhere else , so why is it in a sports stadium ?

The very fact that some of your fans are (on this thread) supportive of an opposition fans views , and the fair number of Leigh fans apologizing to us for the behaviors of other fellow home fans after the game last night should tell you that there is a real issue here and that if away supporters are intimidated enough to make the the decision to stay away from the LSV that in turn will impact on your own club ...

And as for where we were stood , stood in similar places at Fev, Fax and all the other Championship grounds and endured nothing like I did yesterday

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg

Sorry to hear you were subjected to abuse rach, unfortunatley we at Leigh like most clubs have a minority that push past the accepted levels of banter, I hope it wont put you off attending in the future

I wish you well in your attempts to retain Championship status as I'm sure you hope to play Bradford next year

All the best
