I am very encouraged to see the increasing numbers of youngsters attending our games.
This is a double benefit because their parents are coming along too.
In my view these kids should not be subjected to several renditions of the Flute Song during the game so could I make a special appeal to the minority who still sing it to please condemn it to the trash bin where it belongs.

Hear, hear! My young grand-kids weren't impressed!

Indeed. The 1980's are long gone. No need to be stuck in the past.

Once again this request will fall upon deaf ears. As soon as the adrenaline kicks in after a few Leigh tries, the natural instinct of a few supporters, instilled into us after 20+ years of the chant at Hilton Park, its inevitable that nature just takes it's course.

Nar nar nar nar, Leigh!

I agree. Not conductive for encouraging new families to return.

And also whilst we are on the subject, who ever instigated the Jimmy Saville chant for the 500th time this season please have a word with yourself and bore off.

Thank you.

Quite right Harold, it is at best bad taste, highly insensitive at worst, every area has its cupboard with a skeleton in it, its like repeating a joke, funny once, then less so each time after

Ditto the flute song
