| I personally don't think people should be ejected for singing the flute song and unless anyone is being out of order then swearing is a given in today's society. I am probably the worst when not in the company of older people and kids. I really dislike swearing enmasse though and it really does make us look stupid when it's done. I also believe that rugby fans are a better quality of fan but when we sing rubbish we sound just like the thugs at a football match.

Wigan might be the sworn enemy for many but they aren't our rivals and haven't been for a long time. When we play Wigan in a competitive match then sing as many 'anti-Wigan' songs you can think of but it sounds quite ridiculous to sing about Wigan when they're not even on the pitch.
As I said before, I love the Flute song tune but those words just make me feel embarrassed for those singing it.

Have to disagree, most sports teams will sing songs about their rivals whether they are playing them that day or not

Just because other people do stupid things doesnt make it right, unless of course you consider yourself stupid as well
' En masse ' swearing and singing about sexual abusers IS stupid, time we stopped, we should consider ourselves better than that if we wish to progress as a club

| Give me an example of en masse swearing at the LSV ?
When I first heard the Saville song like a lot of others I laughfed. When I was leaving Headingley after the Leeds game several of their fans complemented the Leigh side on our performance and quite a few said they thought the Saville song was very funny in the circumstances.
Guess some are more touchy than others and' some like making mountains out of molehills.

" f ukc Wigan rugby and the IRA '
I remember some parts of the IRA getting upset with the police foiling their plans to blow up some gas containers in Warrington, 2 little boys paid with their lives as I recalled
Maybe just change it to Widnes and al qaeda, it is just as relevant
I look forward to hearing our chant on Sunday, " Cyril Smith, he's one of your own, " shame we dont play Oldham " Ian Brady, hes one of your own " , I hope to see you joining in at our next match against Australia " Rolf Harris, he's one of your own " , maybe next time the Aussie schoolboys play at the LSV?

I think most people know that and know what Jimmy Saville was.
My grandaughters would not have a clue. But to imply when that Saville song is sung means everyone born or who lives in Yorkshire is as objectionable as him needs to get a sense of humour and a reality check.
Every ground we go to over the pennines we endure the Yorkshire Yorkshire chant.
It is a few words which are humerous to a lot but for some not. Life and humour like everything else does not appeal to all. I don't like celery.

Of course I remember too but think you should read my last post and btw when I join in with the flute song I sing stuff Wigan rugby and the IRA.
Lets deal with the swearing issue. Men swear when in male company. Some swear in female company. Have you ever been in a venue when there is a hen party ? Have you listened to kids playing in the street ?
The thought to equate the flute song with the numerous deaths of innocent human beings by idiots assosciated with terrorism is bloody silly quite frankly.

Just as singing songs about peadophiles and terrorist organisations is bloody silly, wouldnt you agree?

| Steve. Let it go you have made your point and so have I.
We will no doubt have our side coming out to march of the gladiators soon. Course I would object because they murdered people for money.

| Both the "Flute" rubbish and the "Time to go" crap for example.
