Quote: TV BOY "Lets me get this straight. Myself and "a few others" objected to a song sheet containing -what I regard as - an offensive song, that was publicly advertised in a publicity statement by the club. A thread that had only views of "fans" on an "independent fans forum" was then deleted as not being in the best interests of the club. Nothing that I could see in any post on that thread came anywhere near to harming the club as much as the publicity statement could have done.
Then a thread was locked for trying to find out why the other thread was deleted. There were no derogatory remarks about the mods as the use of the AUP used to lock the thread claimed.
To top it all the club put out what I call another silly statement about the song sheet being withdrawn with wording that tries to infer that it was a minority who were against the sheet. (I wasn't against the sheet, just the one song. But I never got a chance to say that on the appropriate thread). With wording like " Despite a great deal of support, a number of people". I find that a bit childish.
I have been coming on here and other forums and have read posts a million times worse than what has been deleted or locked in the last few days.
The club made the gaff not any single person on here.
What has happened on here is a disgrace. What are we meant to do just keep our mouths shut and let people who support such rubbish have it their way.
Not me. Never have never will.
When you can't debate a problem about the club you love on an "independent fans forum" when they make a mistake then it's not independent is it? This forum is now affiliated directly to the club in my view.
Very, very disappointed with it all this week and I only hope that the lads can lift my spirits on Sunday because my faith in the club and this forum are at an all time low.

Come On You Leeeeeeeeeeeigh'"


That's your view and you are entitled to it. I will respectfully disagree, and I am more than comfortable with moderation policies on this forum.

Had fans not complained on here, leaflets would have been distributed in violation of the RFL respect campaign, with the director of standards in attendance. Thank goodness for unofficial forums such as these eh.

Leyther 'Til I Die!!!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46670.jpg



Quote: salfordlad "Wether you like the flute song or not 8 of 10 fans do 1 out of 10 don't give a toss and 1 out of 10 find it offensive.'"


This is the best thing I've read about this subject Frank. Well said. Now, if you don't like the song, don't join in. If it offends you sooo bad, cover your ears for a few seconds. I personally love it. It lifts the players, it lifts the fans. One swear word isn't the end of the world, when there are swear words in a lot of the other chants. And the IRA bit is irrelevant. People just stick to the original song they've heard.... I will be singing it, and every other song loud and proud. Because I love cheering my team on in the best atmosphere possible

It's not about that, you are both missing the point. The fact is, like it or not a professional club- particularly one trying to impress the powers that be cannot be seen to encourage or condone such things.

Well said, some Leigh fans need to understand that professional Rugby League has moved on and is now a family orientated entertainment business not some 1970's football/soccer tribal movement that is only interested in getting one over the opposition "firm" after the match.

"I know you've had a bad day, but there's no need to take it out on me":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_14002.jpg



BIGGEST home game for ages, and some folk on here are getting quite upset about deleted posts/freedom of speech etc.
This is pathetic. The only thing I CARE about, is when 2 minutes before KO, our team trots out onto the pitch.
Seems like some 'supporters' on here, have other priorities. (you know who you are)
Sad....but true.

Here we go again poltical correctness.
.
Why not let folk make their own minds up.

I hear Nigel Farage is seeing a Roumanian girl who smokes and a Bulgarian refuse collector who gives him cheap tomatoes but I never say anything.

Who cares ? Leigh on Sunday for a fab afternoons entertainment. AND IT'S CHEAPER than sitting in the pub for two hours watching footie waiting for something to happen which rarely does and supping and going out for a cig every 15 minutes.

Well I had the full backing of the site admin about my call on this topic so lets draw a line under it and move on folks.
We have a cup game on Sunay against the second best team in the league, and remember,
We're all in this together
Be Leighve

Well said Jacko , I personally love the Flute Song , though I admit I never sing it at games ,as most know I have many Wigan relatives , and when we have a Family do in Leigh we always play it then , it even makes the Wiganers laugh .I never get involved with Religion or Politics and respect everyones views on these subjects ,but feel there is nothing offensive in the Flute Song .Its like the music "Entrance of the Gladiators ", a Leyther heritage , I would love to see that played .
