I'm a big fan of sport full stop.
Tour De France is a world event in sport and for once it's in Yorkshire.
It's bound to get the attention whether you like cycling or not.

same as a marathon not much attraction there too

Never been a particularly great fan of cycling but you have to respect the participants endurance levels and the whole event will have done wonders for the Yorkshire economy both now and for a long time to come. I've enjoyed keeping an eye on it and having been up in some of those North Yorkshire towns and villages just early last week it is great to see how the communities have come together as one to promote the event and make it a fantastic occaision.

It's a great pity the cyclists we're all familiar with are the ones that run red lights, ride on the pavements and don't have any lights on after dark.

No matter what you think about cycling and cyclist, Can somebody slagging off the TdF explain how it can possibly be responsible for the low attendance at BV on Friday night

Getting back on topic, chanting (foul or otherwise) will never be stopped by any club. They can't evict half a stand for singing, so why not work on the following basis:

1. If you like the chant, join in.
2. If you don't like the chant, don't join in.

There you are, job sorted!

It cant be, 4 people i chatted to in the crowd were from Bournemouth stopping in leeds just for the Tour yet ended up at BV watching a game of league for the very first time!!

I have a feeling listening to abusive chanting is not popular either.

By your logic, if half the crowd start throwing bottles you should just let them carry on as the others can choose not to and you can't throw half the crowd out.

Not good to hear if you take young children with you I can use that language with the best of them but when children are about its a different matter.As for the kids will learn it anyway and some use it at home well if mine come out with it at home they have to answer for it.

That's not true at all is it?

You are Jeremy Clarkson, and I claim my £1.8million pounds.

Lets stay on topic please people.

People need to get off their high horse, chanting and banter goes on in every ground, so long as its not racist or Homophobic which nothing that was sung was then there is no problem.

The saying "sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me" springs to mind
