Quote: leighonardo "Were you the lone voice booing the victorius Leigh Centurions team that won a place in Super League after clinching the 2004 Grand Final v Whitehaven? -

Because that's the song what the team were singing on the pitch in front of the SKY TV camera's.

I hope you were booing. Just to be consistent.'"


No, I didn't boo then because I was bloody relieved that we had won after a below par performance. We should have tatered Haven that day the way we had been playing beforehand. The day I realised the song was stupid was a game against Salford and one of their lot who was looking for a fight asked what it was all about. I told him to love off but couldn't answer his question. I realised then I was a normal human being who really didn't need to wear a wooly coat and bleat. The song is crap.

The song Leeds sing at the beginning of their games is great ,all positive towards their club some Leigh fans on the other hand prefer to sing this negative song and I say song loosely .It really is pathetic and nothing at all to do with Leigh Rugby .I and others feel totally embarrassed when its sung.

Ridiculous statement. According to that any song is ok. Even one spouting worse racist etc stuff that this.

A Leigh anthem with the only connection to rugby being Wigan, says it all really.

Please show me where I've said "any song is ok" my post was in relation to the flute song, that's it.

I must admit , for me "THE SONG ", is OK , i know many Wiganers find it amusing , not at all offensive , i have NEVER stood up because i DONT hate Wigan , or ever chanted the same , and admit ive NEVER heard any racist chanting from Leigh supporters , on Friday i felt some chanting was not needed , but thats life .

My My, what a sensitive bunch of fans we have become?

Instead of concentrating on the teams efforts, commending the pride and grit the team displayed when it looked like Wigan would run riot, some instead would rather choose to devote a 6 page thread to 'That song'

Each and everyone of our fans all got behind the lads from start to finish and you could see that we generated a fantastic atmosphere that visibly lifted our team and was reflective in the display.

For what it's worth the song actually bores me to tears when ever it is sang elsewhere, but If there was ever a time and place for it IMO then a packed away end at Wigan is definitely it. Sport is a very passionate business and when you are playing your arch enemy then raw emotions will become evident. That's what makes sport great.

As far as I know there was not even a hint of any trouble and the players, officials and the vast majority of fans from both clubs appeared to thoroughly enjoy the occasion and concentrated their post match discussions rightly on the game itself.

I do sometimes have the impression that a few of our supporters would rather the fans heckle our team or just sit in stony silence rather than getting fully behind them as they did on Friday,

Let's put it to bed.

I went to work this morning expecting abuse, all I got was compliments on the way both the team but especially the fans performed on Friday night.
