Surely the stewards should be taking action by evicting the perpetrators from the stadium. These people have committed to adhere to the rules the moment they bought a ticket. Throwing them out will eliminate the problem straight away. Come on LSV apply the rules of the contract.

That's never going to happen, you'd be chucking out most of the home and away support for swearing. I trust on this basis you have never swore inside a stadium.

Plus more than likely the people would not return, hardly something the club can afford

Anyone would think we have a big problem with obscene chanting at the LSV.

We don't imo and ok you might not like the flute song or songs about Jimmy Saville but because some fans do I hardly think the stewards should be ejecting people for singing songs intended to build atmosphere.

Seems to me some would prefer the Leigh team to play in a morgue.

Live and let live.

As the little girl tells us at nearly every game home and away "Rugby League is a Family Game ", but I don't think you will ever stop swearing at games , after all WHO is going to point the finger at the Culprits ?And if everyone is ejected there would be a Big Gap in the North Stand .I don't swear or sing , and don't go in the North Stand , but know many who do .

Two of my grandaughters come to Leigh games one has just turned 9 and the other is four and they go in the West stand with their old granny.

They really enjoy the singing and atmosphere created by the North stand.

A niece and her husband sat in the West stand for their first Leigh game and moved into the North stand next time they came and told me it was for the better atmosphere.

We should put ALL the Blackburns in the East Stand .

I personally don't think people should be ejected for singing the flute song and unless anyone is being out of order then swearing is a given in today's society. I am probably the worst when not in the company of older people and kids. I really dislike swearing enmasse though and it really does make us look stupid when it's done. I also believe that rugby fans are a better quality of fan but when we sing rubbish we sound just like the thugs at a football match.

I don't see the issue singing about Wigan, I think you would struggle to find any professional sports club that doesn't sing about their rivals/neighbours.

They may not be a rival on the pitch at the moment but that doesn't stop other teams so why should we have to stop!

Wigan might be the sworn enemy for many but they aren't our rivals and haven't been for a long time. When we play Wigan in a competitive match then sing as many 'anti-Wigan' songs you can think of but it sounds quite ridiculous to sing about Wigan when they're not even on the pitch.

As I said before, I love the Flute song tune but those words just make me feel embarrassed for those singing it.

Have to disagree, most sports teams will sing songs about their rivals whether they are playing them that day or not

Just because other people do stupid things doesnt make it right, unless of course you consider yourself stupid as well

' En masse ' swearing and singing about sexual abusers IS stupid, time we stopped, we should consider ourselves better than that if we wish to progress as a club
