icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

I wonder if these were the missing hundreds which you said were missing from the disclosed attendance?

Oh how very droll. No these were real people singing, some of them were also saying the crowd looked bigger than the stated figure...............some who didn't sing also thought the crowd was bigger.
What would you have guessed about the crowd (if you saw it)
Edit, Just looking on LCtv now the stand don't look 2/3rds full as I first thought. a lot of Leigh fans changed ends after half time so I was estimating them twice..............still heard the flute though ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

| Regarding this singing of obscenities, is it just Me or what because when the chants start up ,I have to listen very carefully as I cant tell a bloody word that they're singing about, so I have to ask someone what they are singing, and the usual reply is "dunno mate not a bloody clue." ![Confused icon_confused.gif](images/smilies//icon_confused.gif)

Not sure what parts of my posts people are not getting or refusing to read, maybe I'm writing in a foreign language without realising?
I was replying ONLY about signing about Wigan, not swearing, not the IRA etc. I don't see what is 'stupid' about singing about them!!

I think your right there Lynda, most people who do sing when that "Tune" starts is what you sing. I think the tune and chant is quite catchy and I join in but don't use wig@n and the ira. It may only be a handful who use these words but because it has become synonymous now when some folk hear it they just assume everyone singing must be idiots ![Rolling Eyes icon_rolleyes.gif](images/smilies//icon_rolleyes.gif)

Yep that's where it came from, as I said only a few and in the whole scheme of things not really significant (mountain molehill)

| It was the Rochdale club to blame. When they scored well into the second half they played the flute tune and our lads then joined in - may not have been sung otherwise.

9005.jpg kcab sfrawdder
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 |

| Well done Ian Holloway for his public condemnation of his own fans singing songs with reference to Mr Saville

| Millwall Manager.
Holloway said the Savile songs were just one example of the sort of bad taste chanting he wants driven out of the game.

| Oh dear that second bottle is kicking in. I can't google atm due to befuddlement but it has surprised me that Millwall fans sing stuff Wigan Rugby and the ira.
I always thought Millwall was a Catholic stronghold.

I have to agree with Steve here. It's not funny, and it's not clever. I swear like a pitman, but would NEVER EVER sing the flute song, or sing about owt to do with that pervert Saville. I've been to games with my two kids - who also can swear like pitmen when under pressure - but they also think that where we are trying to encourage kids/teenagers to become future fans, then their mum/dad take them to the game, and they hear stuff like this, we're actually discouraging them ....
