was stood right with the "real Barmy Army" and was nice to hear them refuse to join in with the sad few at the very back that tried to start the swearing chant.

Nice tunes from the real BA lads last night, hope the crowd learn the words and join them to increase the volume.

Good support on the whole and it was a really good atmosphere in amongst the South Stand crowd.

Glad we kept their drummer fairly quiet over the 80 minutes.

And 2000 on as well awsome!

??

2000 what?

On what?

yep really enjoyed the atmosphere and the pre match entertainment good for that to happen on sky and hopefully we can do the same kind of thing again cause no doubt sky will be back down for the northers rail quarter final as its the best tie.

best tie for a cup game is Oldham v Fev.

but they wont put that on sky after seeing last nights match they may end up coming back again. i will be expecting to see fax v leigh on sky for this cup tie.

they even said it after they did the draw they said halifax v leigh probably the tie of the round.

Yeh great night, great atmosphere but like whats been said a shame about the swearing from the lads behind us 1 of our lot reported it to a steward at half time but as usual nothing was done what are they paid for? But lets not let that ruin what was other wise a very good night with a great atmosphere. Well Done to you all

and well done to the club

lets keep it up.

Saints fans have been swearing at their game tonight. Where can I write to to tell them how offended I am and that they should tar and feather all those involved.

It may just be me but it kind off annoys me.

Now, now no need to be offended by minor things its just to get everyone singing if you dont like it then im sorry but we cant please everyone.

To be fair it's the only one that annoys me, I just think it's wrong to suggest that we don't support the team just because we aren't singing. I haven't been able to talk all day cos I was yelling so much last night.

Know that feeling

No 1 is sugesting that you or anyone else dont support the team as I know you all do and if you dont want to join in singing thats fair enough its just abit of fun to maybe get the people who normaly do sing to get behind the team when the chips are down.

Right, having watched the whole game back (at the 3rd attempt) at what point during the game is this heard? Because I can't hear it on Sky.

People Swear, Get over it.

Yeah, and people throw bottles...shall we get over that too?

There is an element, like at most clubs, that let the majority down, but does it mean we should just condone it and let it carry one regardless?

Throwing Bottles and Swearing are 2 very different things. Someone can swear at me and I arent particulary bothered, but throw a bottle at me and i'll take it back to whoever threw it and insert it somewhere painful.

I dont think the swearing at Halifax is bad compared to other places, "Swearing Chants" are regulary heard at Super League matches on the telly, Especially at Leeds and Saints matches, Fact is every week we end up with a thread on here moaning about swearing. Putting a couple of stewards at the back of the stand won't stop it. They'll move elsewhere.

Agreed, you can't hear the swearing. Plus bet most people on here moaning about that swearing actually thought it was funny the other week when Wigan were chanting 'you're and you know you are' to Bradford.

And the same when Leeds were singing "Its a long way back to wigan when your "

It is definitely audible as I commented on it when it happened, don't have access to the game back here over the dark side of the Pennines, but it is sometime in the second half.

Yes, swearing and bottle throwing are completely different, but it's the s at the back of the stand who are both swearing and throwing bottles.

The difference between Saints and ourselves is that they are an established, successful team who don't need to try that hard to attract support and immature songs won't detract the masses from coming as their reputation is solid and the "product" is already attractive.
In our situation, with a lot of families there on Thursday and people coming to a League match for the first time as an alternative to the poor standard of Football thats around our area atm (Bradford City aren't much cop either at the moment) then these activities, unless stamped out will make these familes less likely to come, if at all.

I didn't hear that and maybe it is amusing somewhat but it is still wrong.

I remember back in 2003 when we were being taken apart by Warrington at Wilderspool and they all came into the Away stand in the second half and would not chanting "you're **** and you know you are". Not a very pleasant experience whatsoever.

I agree that was uncalled for, totally different though. We were already down and were having to use players who wouldn't get anywhere near our side now due to the financial state of the club. Bradford however still have a relatively big budget and wage bill (not as big as a few years ago) and still appear clueless.

Agreed, Sky [iusually[/i cut the microphones as soon as any swearing starts anyway.

I still don't see the massive fuss, Its not like there was 2500 fax fans swearing away, it was a small minority. It doesnt put me off taking my son along, and I doubt too many other people are put off by it either.

I don't know who the kids at the back of the stand are, but they seem to get pulled up for as much as farting nowadays, There may have been a bottle thrown at the Salford game, and some alledged trouble in the Glynn Webb carpark after last years Widnes game, but other than those 2 isolated incidents which were reported to the club. they're pretty harmless. Its not like they're a hardcore set of Hooligans.
