| Starbug I agree with you, Cambodia are in the CC draw so 'pol pot he's one of your own' then in the next round we can draw Moscow with a rendition of ' Stalin he's one of your own' semis would be tough against St. Helens but they can try ' rev vallancey he's one of your own' that will confuse the beggars

Whats that about sarcasm?
Seriously though, will we hear a rendition reffering to Cyril Smith at Dale? , and if not, why not?
Your job is hard enough as it is , we keep hearing how the club is trying to make friends at Red Hall rather than be unproffessional as in the past, at least attempting to ask the fans to stop would be a start

| Group singing of totally crass rubbish including foul language, particularly involving people who are "mature" adults, even grandparents, is totally beyond me. To try to justify it on this thread using the excuse that similar junk can be heard at other grounds is unbelievable.
It is almost as if it is being worn like a badge of honour.
If we can't dream up some chants that are genuinely witty and amusing then it is a very sad day.
To keep resorting to the dross chants mentioned in the posts above is in my view pathetic.
It is unquestionably to the absolute detriment of our club and is damaging to our brand when all other aspects are going so well. Genuine Leigh fans should be able to see this and the last thing they should be doing is seeking to justify it.

| Well I have said it before and I will say it again we have about 10 people who sometimes attend Leigh games at the LSV who think we have a problem with obscene chanting and references to a now dead Yorkshire man.
Anyone reading their posts who isn't a regular attendee would think it is a constant annoying ridiculously stupid irritant.
Over a full game this so called offensive objectionable noise lasts for how long ?
I hear bad language on public transport every day and folk listening to mobile phone "music" without headphones and I know which I find worse.
Yeh I am a grandad who does not join in with the Saville song but I am a realist who knows most people swear in certain situations but my kids and grandkids don't swear in front of me and I don't in front of them.
At any sporting event you hear the odd offensive chant. It's a fact of life. I put up with it in the same way I put up with pop music which is constantly played when I go to the gym.
Why not just enjoy watching the best Leigh side I can remember because after all
most of us go to watch the skill of our players.

Folk come to the LSV to be entertained and if you think they give a monkeys toss about Saville' who most people detest or' the flute song you are mistaken.

| I think you have researched this and you will know better than me cos I now don't live in Leigh.
Conversation between Leigh folk who don't normally go to games. "I was thinking to go to watch Leigh next home game I hear they play good attractive rugby. Reply from a listener' I was too but heard all the fans just sing obscene chants about Jimmy Saville' may he rest in peace and have no time for the IRA. Not to mention their poking fun at pieeaters".
Go and do some gardening.
Oh and Nostradamus lad why do the kids who do go not agree with you ?
My grandkids don't even notice the so called problem which maybe because it is a problem only for folk who like to look for something that isn't a problem and then try to pretend there is.

| As I said last week, kids hear far worse in school and on the telly every single day. People who believes that their precious little angel will be shocked by anything they hear at the rugby are only fooling themselves.
I went to the same school as Tim Parry and I can't for the life of me understand why the Warrington bombing has been bought into the conversation.

Quite correct, it is as relevant to RL as singing songs about the IRA and peadophiles
So why do it?

| Great day at Rochdale today, superb atmosphere and champagne rugby throughout.
A sincere thank you - whether it was any kind of response to my Polite Request or simply recognition of the need to portray the club in its best light really doesn't matter.
All the Leigh fans today were a great credit to our great club.
Roll on next week away at Batley.

I wonder if these were the missing hundreds which you said were missing from the disclosed attendance?

Oh how very droll. No these were real people singing, some of them were also saying the crowd looked bigger than the stated figure...............some who didn't sing also thought the crowd was bigger.
What would you have guessed about the crowd (if you saw it)
Edit, Just looking on LCtv now the stand don't look 2/3rds full as I first thought. a lot of Leigh fans changed ends after half time so I was estimating them twice..............still heard the flute though
