Now C*Mon,,we are all part of the Rugby League Family....

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.

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

I don't know how anyone can mistake a good humoured chant of "I'd rather be a pastie than a pie" for something racist! The yorkshire lads in front of me thought it was amusing as did my Wiganer mother.
Don't try to make a story where there isn't one.......

As for what goes on at under 7 matches the whole of RL has a problem with abusive parents - at one Orrell St James vs Ince St Williams match some years ago one parent ripped off his shirt and stormed across the pitch to confront the opposing coach only to turn around halfway across when everyone laughed at his fat belly!!!!

Well i was at the game and it sounded like pastie to me also watched it on TV when i got back and it still sounded like pastie. I dont know where people have got the other from but i believe Specsavers do hearing aids as well now maybe one or to should invest in one.

Well said that man.

To be fair the same group were also the ones getting the England songs going!!
I took it as banter and some fun!!
Im glad were getting more stick and hatred is coming back means people see us as a force again, better than the ridicule we have had for last few years!!

Nah, not pastie. That sounds like attempted damage limitation to me.

As i have said specsavers do hearing aids.
Sounds more like some on hear want to ring a racialist slant to a innocent song.

Hint hear is Leigh is known for Pasties Wigan are known for Pies that not give a clue on the song.

It is definitely "pastie" and suggesting it is "paki" is just rabble rousing.

BTW superant, what is an "inbread", you aren't using your loaf on that one?

Accepting this explanation would require me to give Leigh the benefit of the doubt. Not possible, I'm afraid. Too many memories of idiotic behaviour at Hilton Park.
