| Quote: Leyther_Matt "Both fair points. Think it can be related to the lack of games to be honest as people think what's the point of buying a shirt if England are only going to play at home once a year, and I think the same could be said as to why so few people take the international scene seriously.
Look at how many games the football side play and how many the RL side do, and I think that begins to answer why there's an entirely different culture. That said, I'd rather the inter-club banter of RL internationals than the all-out xenophobia of the football!'"
XENOPHOBIA..............Word of the day

| I was stood next to the Leigh supporters singing Pasty NOT Paki! I would rather they had joined together in England songs but the small minded heads have such a huge chip on their shoulders about Wigan that they couldn't resist the anti Wigan chants. They seemed more interested in the anti Wigan chants than the game! Athough I have to say that they were reasonably good humoured but it was quite unnecessary and tainted what was otherwise a good afternoon watching an excellent looking England team made up of a good cross section from SL & NRL.
Leigh now have a good ground. They now just need some good RL supporters!

Agreed.
They will never ever be in SL and rightly so. They are a disgrace to the game.

| I think the anti-Wigan stuff(which is being taken out of proportion) was because of the easyness of the games, against Aus and NZ you don't hear much like that. Also, i don't see anything wrong in wearing your home club colours, that's what makes RL better than other sports isn't it?

| I just don't see the point of it when you're supposed to be there to support one individual team, and like I said, I think it would eliminate the automatic segregation that happens , ie. Club fans automatically sitting near each other then singing club songs.

I still have vivid memories of our Challenge Cup fixture at their place in 2002. If memory serves, the Leigh fans did another good job of rolling back the years to the bad old days of the 1970s by actually throwing bottles at the Wigan players after they'd scored.
And they wonder why people don't take them seriously.

| Quote: WIGAN FOREVER "Anyone with a child playing amateur RL in Wigan will know what a fantastic experience it is to travel into the land that time forgot to see their kid playing in front of the worst specimens the human race could ever wish to develop.
The sort of place in which you will hear mums with more facial hair than Jamie Jones Buchannan encouraging their sons to 'kill the pie eating b*st*rds' (this is at under 7s and 8s by the way).
'"
They are just as bad at the U7 away games as well, no respect, just all line up on along the touchline as a group and abuse and try to intimidate the home team - never a truer word spoken by the OP

Yep I was there too and remember that, a ehole of a ground and a mostly moronic fanbase.......I've never been back.
Give them a new ground, but it's the same fans, just older and they have bred some more ........ just goes to show you can't polish a turd

| Quote: Roman Officer "not Paki
If only that was true.
But it's not our problem. It was the Leigh fans who did this during one of the first Test matches their club has hosted in I don't know how long.
And you can be sure that if the Sky commentators, heard it, other officials will have heard it as well.
It will do their chances of ever getting back into Super League no good whatsoever.
