In their defence, it is pretty standard for fans to sing W@nky Warrington nowadays, and I don't think many people think anything of the swearing in it.
As long as Wire fans sing TF and the Wire, then we really have nothing to complain about.

in the ground fair enough, not tescos car park with kids and families shopping, my son is used to it traveling to most matches with me, but it will hardly encourage folk to buy a ticket if that's their first contact with the sport!
after all they "only sing when they're fishing"

"she wore a yellow gibbon in the merry month of may"

i know, t'was just expanding the arguement, if you look at my earlier post you'll see i had the joy of running into the group of ambasadors prior to their entry to the ground.
i agree with you, once in the ground as long as it's not racist all's fair, they can chant 'anky warrington, and i'll reply with "you bunch of inbred halfwhits with questionable parentage (or words to that effect) on the understanding my son does not repeat what dad said when he gets home to mum!

1 "Old Faithful" contains rather a lot of words which are too much for the modern day FC fan to remember in one go.
2. It is important that these words are sung in a specific order. Once this was no problem, but nowadays *anky *arrington only has two words and, it doesn't matter if they get them the wrong way round .... which they frequently do.
3. Most importantly though, after the first line ..."Old Faithful" opposing fans, and especially Rovers fans, join in with "You'll never win at Wembley". Try it and see next time you play them. his cuts them deep and really gets up their noses so they no longer take the risk.
These types of fans are a disgrace but each team has a small section of them
Just shows how imature you are posting this; it was a small group and you say all FC fans are like this
