What on earth has this got to do with socialism? And your assumption is wrong by the way. I just disagree with you.
Do you really think people and especially sponsors would stay away because a few people at an away game tried to wind up the fans with an unfunny song?
It's a bit cringeworthy but hardly the club endorsing an ideology

Its got to do with people singing about Corbyn and that they hate tories; which is why the op started the thread. Which is pretty much the theme on RP, most of the time anyway. Socialism is mentioned because we are informed by Fezbob that WAFC is a comunity socialist club.
As for my question, would you spend your hard earned money each week listening to people singing that they hate your political ideology. Its a genuine question.

Agreed it's completely embarrassing. One lad even managed to link the this is like a library song to the Tories closing all the libraries 😂

Genuine answer - I really don't care. I hear plenty of stupid things being shouted and sung at football matches. One extra song wouldn't change a thing.

I've heard plenty of people around Wrexham saying they don't go because we're rubbish, a selling club, don't want to go up etc but never heard anyone mention some supposed ideology for staying away.

Hopefully the songs will die a death soon purely because they are rubbish and what could at a stretch have been considered 'banter' in Maidenhead aren't funny anywhere else.

Not many, cos the Tories closed them down.
