Quote: wigan pie man "Dear Mr Chairman,
It wont work. A lot of the singers are in the South Stand on junior season ticket prices. They wont pay East Stand prices. Furthermore, how are you going to control whats sung in the family stand? Will it be stewarded by the club at their own expense, and the ban on swearing rigidly enforced? or will the club allow/condone/turn a blind eye to swearing.
Will the songs be hand picked by the club and possibly handed out on printed song sheets to be sung in a particular order? Will the stadium announcer direct operations? "we will now sing song 46 on our song sheets".
Will the stewards chastise anyone who goes into the singing section but doesnt sing?
Will the club be making a "non-singing" section for fans who want to sit and watch the game and occasionally applaud?
This will never work. Singing should be spontanious.

And the award for tool of the year goes to..........
If you dont like swearing at sporting events I would strongly suggest polo. Swearing in songs has happened for decades, all clubs do it, in every sport.
