| Negatives from Saturday's game:
Robbie Williams
PA in North Stand is terrible (volume wise) but at least this negated having to listen to Williams
Stop bringing drums
Handling errors galore (I'm looking at you Hoppy).
And that bloody flute song.

Ste, I don't sING the Flute Song,but it doesn't bother me when it is sung, I've heard much worse,I've been watching Leigh for around 55 years now and in the 60s the songs and bad language from the Railway End was frowned on,on another site it has been posted that Derek, Micky Higham and a few other players also sing it,the Jimmy Savile song is worse , but it's still sung on a regular basis,songs will always be sung like them or loathe them,it seems to me a hell a lot of Leythers are singing it.

| I myself was guilty of a lot of those songs from the Railway End Charlie. Mind you I was only about 13 or 14.

You are correct Charlie, it will continue through the generations because kids see/hear their dads singing it. I hate it.

| When I was young, The Munich Song was prevalent at the old Burnden Park. When much older I heard rumours that a hardcore of Trotters duck'eeds were planning to sing it at Old Trafford as King Nat and others laid a wreath to the fallen on the 40th anniversary of the crash. Despite reports to the contrary it didn't happen and I have never heard it since. It only takes one generation of sufficiently mature parents to kill these songs by firstly not singing them in front of their kids and secondly rollicking those kids if the parents hear them doing it. There is hope, Reffy.
Ps. Bolton got a draw that day and Cole & Sheringham are still throwing their toys at each other.

Exactly my thoughts! Neil is loyal to his squad and wanted to reward those who have been giving everything in training, for weeks, without getting a game. At the end of the day, the replacements were more convincing against Batley, than the 'first choices' were twice during the season!

I spent many seasons on the Railway End, about the age of 12 till around 20 and loved it, there were some mad characters around then, but it was good,there was plenty of fights to, I remember Wigan fans being escorted by police from Leigh Bus station to Hilton Park,.

| Well the ref made sure he wasn't ignored by the big crowd. Was great to see people who are leaving have good games and leave on a high, special for me was Andrew Dixon who IMHO has never had a bad game. It has been suggested it was Fui's last game at LSV pity not be celebrated if that's the case.

Charlie, what about this for an idea? First SL game at LSV, you take the microphone on a podium in the Man U reserves' centre circle and, to the accompaniment of a descendant of Bombadier Billy Wells on the gran tambura, teach the next generation a good wholesome song in the form of "Lily the Pink"?
As I see it, it's a vincero:vincero situation

You obviously haven't heard me sing,my last Kareoke spot was at a Caroli family get together, when I gave a rendition of Tom Hark,with the Flute Song,to the Wigan Carolis.
I am ready to a company you in a selection of Stanley Unwin greatest hits,didn't he do a version of the Farms ,Altogether Now?
