" Time is but a flowing stream". Pedro. Higherfold Cockey Pond. 1973. You can shout for silence, but boots worn all day will always hum.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_28343.gif



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It is outdated, irrelevant and offensive.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.

[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] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.

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. icon_wink.gif 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!!! icon_surprised.gifops: icon_lol.gif

I have voted against the song ,i really enjoy singing at matches and so do the people i sit with but we have never, and never will sing the flute song until the words are changed to show that we are proud to support Leigh rugby,the tune is very catchy so its a shame the words are'nt.At the match on Sunday it was a fantastic atmosphere with all the Leythers singing until of course the flute song ,i am always glad when its ended for me and my mates its a real cringer.

Quote: Leeeigh Leeeigh "I think you are missing the point a bit if that is what you think.

Isn't there a bit after the IRA bit ? I have always said swearing is a fact' practically everyone does it sometimes. It depends on the context the swear word is made' doesn't it before you decide if you are upset by it. For example if you are earwigging a conversation and you hear the dreaded F word a few times how does it make you feel ? Are you outraged ? What if there is a group of 30 friends talking' and' a mixed group at that- if you heard say a woman use the F word and it was not said aggressively would you be traumatised ?

I play Bridge too and I am outraged by the reference to that by MapleLeyther. icon_lol.gif

The flute song it seems to me makes some people cringe not because they personally are outraged by it but because they think others will be outraged by it.

Listening to Radio Smooth early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday makes me cringe because Tony Blackburn is infantile. When it gets bad I go and put the kettle on.
