If your chant and swear in the street you would be cautioned by the police and probably fined. What makes a rugby game any different?

There was a bit of chanting in the Northstand from Leeds fans too. 'Wakefield's a poophole' to the sound of The Beach Boys' Sloop John B stood out the most. Think they sing it every time they visit. Personally I couldn't give a monkey's.

If you ran up to someone in the street and tackled them to the floor you would be cautioned by police, What makes a rugby game any different?

I don't join in......why would I?
I cheer on my team and sometimes criticise players or ref but I am sufficiently educated to do that without swearing. Swearing and chanting abuse is different though.

I don't have the same sort of adrenaline (no not beer as I drive to every game) running through my body when walking through the streets, nor am I a football hooligan, everything said and done gets left in the stadium! It's just banter get over yourselves! Stop finding stuff to moan about! We won after great team spirit was shown, something that was lacking under agar, just enjoy it and stop moaning,

It isn't different. If you do that on the terrace you'll be cautioned.

Its banter it's at a rugby game get over it, get a grip!

Think he means on the pitch! I'm educated enough to grasp what he is talking about

Theres no banter in singing "if you really ******* hate em clap your hands" Thats just vile language and not fit for an area were children are present. If you do not understand this you obviously have an issue. Yes i understand there is swearing at a rugby league game, but when a few hundred people are singing it together thats completely different. Kids like to get involved in the chants and if they start copying that its obviously not good. The northstanders are nothing short of brilliant at times. But spoil it at other times.

I don't have an issue I do understand what your saying just don't get why week after week all people do is moan moan moan there litterally always something to moan about, on here, on Facebook, and twitter moan moan and moan some more!, just because currently you can't moan about on the pitch lets have a moan about something off the pitch, Lighten up go moan about price of fuel or your gas bill!!

Instead of repeating yourself constantly try and understand people are having an opinion.
Its a forum, its what its for. If you don't like it don't look.

The irony is, you are moaning about people (in your [iopinion[/i) moaning.

Correct I am moaning, about the fact that there always seems to be a negative thread, people are entitled to their opinion, I'm just airing mine too, I knew as soon as I posted i would get this sort of reply, just because I'm not part of the forum or the merry band of misery that seems to surround this place!

Then you cannot have any complaints' then

When did rugby league become a family sport? I seem to recall someone telling me that it was a marketing ploy in the 70s due to the goings on in football at the time.

Not looking for an argument, just wondering

Thought atmosphere was abit subdued in the north stand until last quarter, I think multiple things affected the attendance, rain , skymatch, big weekend of sport and I know we shouldn't rely on away support but that was the worse leeds have brought for aslong as I can remember.
