I've been to football games and heard worse , and thought it was funny , until watching MOTD with my parents and hearing it clearly on the TV

I prefer RL now for several reasons , one of those was the difference in support , ie being able to mix with opposition fans before and after

Yes there has always been individual swearing , and while I try to not do it myself , it happens within the emotion of the game

But within the ' songs/chants ' sung that include swear words there isn't a single one that is actually supportive/positive to the club or the team , every single one is abusive/aggressive aimed at the supporters of the team we are playing or Wigan

Anybody singing or supporting the singing of those songs/chants is an idiot , it isn't big and it isn't funny

Its about the 'woke up this morning' taking over as the song of choice, it was much louder on Thursday and as it takes off will replace one of the less savoury ones imo, especially if it becomes part of the players ritual. Used to love the Leigh Wino's one.

Can someone tell me the lyrics to the song? All I can decipher when it is sung is "woke up this morning feeling fine Naha nanh nah nah nah nah"

It's a take on the UTD version

Woke up this morning feeling fine , got Leigh Rugby on my mind , jukesys got the lads playing how the Leythers should oh yeh , something tells me I'm into something good

Cheers Steve, I can join in now!

Good solution..

Just as bad on away coaches when I take my daughter and "the enlightened few" are on the same coach giving it the Tourettes...

Works any you rub it I'm afraid

Unfortunately Roy , never makes it right

Or "are you Widnes in disguise" or some such ....

We have a football following now, many of our fans are also Man United fans & it shows in the songs that carry over.

Don't get me wrong, I am a MUFC fan & born & raised in Mcr so I know the songs, what happens is this, those lads singing them are mid teens to late 20's, they eventually grow up & leave it behind, I was the same at that age, not defending it, just pointing out facts as I see them.

The North Stand is where 'the lad's' go, to drink & sing, some are lads, some are lads dad's & some have kids. If you really want to avoid it/protect your kids from it, then go in the West Stand ....

No, it shouldn't be that way, but who will stop it ?

On Thursday night I witnessed a Scouse steward shouting & swearing at other stewards in the N.S, "treat 'em like £UCK!N' Kids" & so on he was shouting about Leigh fans, so if the stewards have no self control, what hope for the rest ?

Well I stand with my kids in the North Stand and both are graduates and I/they dont have a problem.As above change the songs..God forbid fighting in the North Stand amongst ourselves we'd be hung drawn and quartered.

We are in SL and we have a lot eyes upon us being the new kids on the block..LSV is a fortress,lets not make it a laughing stock..You don't always have to follow the leader,they soon shut up,if you dont.

Already has Atomic

Middle 8's last year

And

Blackpool Summer Bash

(Not young blokes neither)

.....He use to be e but now he's alright

I remember some idiot singing that in full voice in the Albert and lion not to long ago

I took up Mr Beaumont and Mr Koukash's very generous offer yesterday and attended the Salford/Cas game, there was a good crowd on with both popular ends well attended especially the Cas end which was packed I believe they took 2K along.

Some posters on this thread are of the opinion that other teams chant obscene songs, well I must say it was not evident yesterday from both sets of supporters.

What is quite evident on this thread is the variation in self and life standards that people class themselves, unfortunately when other supporters from other clubs comment on the Leigh chants it is the all Leigh Fans who are tarnished with the same brush, not just those who believe it is right and proper to do so.
