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]

| Just echoing what Ody said, think things got out of hand yesterday and, in the cold light of day, it's a lot easier to recognise the mistakes made and make sure a similar situation doesn't arise in the future.

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| I'll admit to swearing a bit but I've mellowed a hell of alot in recent years.
It takes a really big game or something scandalous to get me going. Definitely no need for it all through the game... people drinking ridiculous amounts of booze before and during the game doesn't help.
You're not allowed to drink unless your under the stand at football grounds as far as I'm aware. I know people who go to the game and miss half of it going to and from the bar anyway... I mean what's the point?

There didn't seem many stewards in evidence yesterday. In previous years, they have out-numbered the fans (must have all moved over to LSV ) and worn Gestapo-like uniforms!

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |
|
| Continuous swearing shows a lack of imagination I'm afraid boys
You know you can do better

| It is good to have the apology. Takes character to do it. Well done!

| Bad language mars the game and puts people off coming? Don't talk rubbish man, have you never been to a Premiership football game? Families and much louder and cruder language than I've heard at ANY game of RL, and they're pretty obviously not suffering for it.
Get off your high horse Peanut, its life. Words are only offensive because of a victorian mentality that still pervades life. If thats your biggest concern about the game then I'm sorry, but you really do know nowt.
How can a word that is used to describe one of the best parts of the human experience be offensive? It should be a celebratory word, not an offensive one!

This comment does not make sense! A lot of people will find the language offensive and not attend. The simple fact is that the language is intended to be offensive to opposing fans.
That alone means it is unacceptable and needs stopping.

oh dear,high horse is it?? so from now on you are speaking for everyone?
so now leigh centurions rugby league club is not family friendly.
i know nothing about rugby i take it you travel home and away do you,did you go to sheffield???????.
so f***In is a celebratory word you really are a numpty.but the best thing about a forum is that everyone as an opinion. eh i swear like a trooper in certain circumstances but you think its acceptable at a sporting event were children are!!!!
so in a few years time all these kids that are supposed to be the future of leigh centurions can openly sing profanities cos its all they ave known from the terraces.have a word with ya self and read your post again

Think you might actually be on to summat there; I'll hold my hands up and admit that the fact that I grew up watching Leigh through most of the 90's when there was maybe a more hostile kind of atmosphere, and that may affect the behaviour who have known little different. Of course, it is now up to ourselves as a fanbase to ensure that the next generation of fans don't grow up with the same tendancies.
