I tolerate it, but i dont like it.'"
You wasnt being sarcastic, iv read your posts in the past on the subject.
As for organised swearing, they are songs that 80 per cent of the away support join in with, your just in the moaning minority. Theres worse things said in school playgrounds. Some songs always will, and always have had swearing in them

but they dont have to?
yes theres swearing in playgrounds, where there only used to be swearing in the all male domains of Coal mines and factories.
Its a sad reflection of todays ill educated yob culture who would rather insert a swear word than search their brain for an appropriate clean word. Its also highly offensive to a lot of people who take kids..ie families. and families shouldnt be subjected to this filth.
Because its widespread, iit doesnt mean its right.
A little respect for women wouldnt go amiss.

| A singing section ?
What about those that don't want to sing, if they are in that area.
Can they just take their shoes off and humm ?

| Quote ="wigan pie man"gratuitous swearing by an individual with a limited vocabulary in a crowd is offensive...i agree on that one.
But anyone can let slip a swear word when a bit excited....i can let that go.
which catagory do you place organised swearing in?
by the way..the Warrington song i have no problem with..it doent actually contain a swear word?
Its the "5 times in a row" thats offensive, with its repeated and gratuitous use of the F word....when other words would fit just as good'"
Is y not swearing now?
"Organised swearing" LOL are you a Daily Mail reader by any chance? When I was at school 20+ years ago, most kids swore like dockers - admittedly, not infront of their parents. I don't think any of them were emotionally damaged by hearing swearing at Central Park

Think of the children!

One of the funniest I heard from Wigan fans was at Wilderspool to Jonathan Davies....."Davies, you've got a f***ing big nose, you've got a f***ing big nose, you've got a f***ing big nose,".
He even turned round and laughed.

When you use the w-w at Warrington you are not swearing you are just pointing out to the natives something that comes natural to them.

| Very productive meeting with the club. A lot of issues addressed. It might take off this, it certainly has substance.

Why are women more offended by swearing than men? Come and join us in the 21st century when you get chance.

I remember it well, a distant era, not least because back then Wire actually had a world class player in their ranks!
I laughed, but it was a bit embarrassing, wasn't it? He seems a nice bloke and he was such a gifted player. We used to have a lot of stars in the game in those days, Davies was a superb talent, I'd have loved to have seen him play in the Cherry and White.

It was advertised across all forms of social media and the official website, so wannabe hooligans and the frothing-at-the-mouth types could all have an equal say.

Nobody really "voiced any concerns" it was more of a positive meeting about making an atmosphere occur again in the DW. Swearing in songs didnt get a mention funnily enough.

Then announce it and open the area up for sale, with a clear statement that anyone wishing to sing will be recommended to go in this area. Still allocated seating. It could work.'"
