That's right, they do!
However if the RFL started too fine the club over it, would you as a fan still sing it, knowing it would get the club in bother?

| Are there W1ganers playing for Leigh? Will W1ganers in the future be playing for Leigh? I would be surprised (and hope they don't) sing it word for word.
Why oh why do we have the "well school kids say worse in the school yard", or "other clubs chant this and that" ? Why oh why can we not be leading the way in getting the family club image in RL? Can't ban the song of course, but it would help if the club stopped playing the tune that encourages it to be sang, and it would help if fans looked at it themselves properly and think of the club and maybe realise it is a bit dated and does not involve supporting Leigh by singing it.

| Last thing I am ever going to post on this subject. The reason the players sing it is because they think it is the Leigh fans anthem (which it is in a way) and favourate song. The other reason is that it is the only real catchy song with several rhyming lines in it that we have. Please , please , please just rewrite the words to the same tune. "Lobby on draft and a beetroot chaser" is the only thing left I have to say.

| The players may well sing it in the privacy of the changing room; fair enough. Totally different to fans on the terraces.
It is outdated, irrelevant and offensive. We want more kids and families at LSV not fewer. This kind of thing would prevent me from bringing my kids until they were much older. By then they probably wont want to come.
Get rid of it and if a few idiots continue singing it and other such rot then get rid of them. The club is better off without them.

42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| It's a just a song with a catchy tune - I don't see what the problem is.

I think you are missing the point a bit if that is what you think. Its seen as our anthem by some, but doesn't seem to mention Leigh Centurions in any way.
Personally I don't like IRA reference or chanting "F@ck" in unison either in a supposedly family RL club.
Also there is nothing wrong with being a member of the Leigh Tiddlywinks club!!!
