The swearing is unnecessary and I can understand why people wouldn't like it but I've never seen it as a massive issue. Parents may well want to keep their kids away from bad language but generally it's a futile effort and more importantly if kids are brought up well they'll know the difference between right and wrong and know what language they can and can't use.

Trying to prevent kids from hearing such language is the only reasonable objection to it to be honest but it's something that's difficult to prevent and as others have said it's not likely to make much difference on kids as they'll hear it in other places. Perhaps people should give kids a bit more respect and not assume they blindly copy what they see others doing.

It's also surprising that if people think bad language is an issue that it's never been raised because of the w*nky Warrington song.

Has this chap been in a monastery 'til now? Welcome to the real world matey, if you genuinely balk at the odd expletive I'd suggest a quieter game: chess anyone?

Girls are worse than lads its terrible, League is a good, strong, Northen, working mans game. Imagine going pack in time and telling the crowds what to do? Far too much PC these days pretty soon we wont be able to clap or cheer in case it upsets people trying to read in the house across the street because of 'stadium noise pollution'.

You have this the wrong way round. If YOU don't want to obey the stadium rules then YOU don't go!

In fact the worst one BY FAR we ever sung was the Tommy Martyn one (with a packet of sweets & cheesy smile, Tommy you're a f**king paedophile).

Not a good one that one.

I have a better idea... stop being a Don't use that word on this board again. JTB about things and get on with it, its people like you that complain and kill the atmosphere at games... or better still if you're that concerned don't take the kids, put them in bubble wrap and never let them out of the house

Absolutely no need for that imo

Let's turn a blind eye to bad behaviour then.

Have you never heard the saying "for evil to prosper, all it needs is for good men to do nothing".

In my opinion today's society is busted due to parents accepting and promoting yobbish behaviour.

When Laukiki was spark out yesterday I saw men of my age from St Helen's foaming at the mouth with glee. I told them they had no class and they thought I was talking a foreign language.

I accept I am in the minority on this but I happen to think I am right!

I don't swear at games so I don't have a problem. But I'm not so sensitive to swear words, anyone who is shouldn't go to a sports game like rugby or football. If you don't want to hear swearing I suggest you start watching tennis or something, don't think I've ever been to a match and not heard the occasional eff or e or whatever at the end of the day they are just words and don't hurt anybody, can't see what the fuss is all about myself. I suppose Wgan are top of the table and in the semis of the cup and Wiganers have to find something to moan about or what else would we do!

What i am trying to get at is effing and blinding in conversation around old people, young children or women isn't a good thing and i consciously try to refrain from it. however the occasional song at a game is just a bit of banter at the end of the day. Thats why rugby fans can drink in the pub and have a laugh and a joke with each other. If the banter and the atmosphere goes what to we have? A posh playing field with 26 blokes chasing an inflated egg.

Mmmmm all I will say is, it's a good job you don't sit near me during a game.

we stand at our ground

How this hasn't been locked yet is beyond me, pathetic post.

What a fantastic attitude. "We're going to behave how we want and if you don't like it then YOU don't attend." Classy, real classy. How about if a person cannot behave in a way that is appropriate for a family setting then THEY don't come.

I understand both sides of the argument but in this case this chant isnt bad enough to warrant this outcry.

my 7 yo daughter understands there are nasty words people use and she understands she shouldnt use them. issue dealt with really.
