Confirmed 3rd Kit Details, Cha.

[justinr73]

Interesting to see so much snobbery about a simple local colloquialism. Personally I take a lot of pride in 'Cha', it is uniquely ours.

Fine but leave it off the feckin shirt.

Is anyone actually going to buy one outside a niche five mile radius…?

The word Chav comes from Chatham in Kent doesn't it?

Yes it was started when youths wore Burberry . Generally all knock off clothes worn on council estates . Chavvy bastards 😂

I'm yet to see it be used in a non-patronising way. Four recent examples on this forum;

he's shite cha

terrible quote usage cha.

Just stick Potts up front and we'll piss the league cha

You are just embarrassing yourself now cha.

I think it gets used more in spoken terms than written. I've heard and used it 1000's of times since I was a kid, and never in patronising ways.

Although I was born & brought up in Preston I don't think I've ever used "cha" frequently but I do get where you're coming from.

That said putting it on the kit is slightly embarrassing IMHO.

I believe @Lord Edgington uses the word cha frequently when he's on his partridge shooting weekends. I say, cracking shot cha

I've always found hearing the word 'cha' used so weird but I grew up in East Lancashire where its definitely not used. I always thought it was sort of Preston area slang for 'mate' or 'pal' etc.

Why the fuck we have it on the back of one of our shirts though.....I just laughed when I saw it.

Funnily enough I had a night out with John Sheridan in Leeds c1997 ish and he was using it liberally. It was a pretty brutal night to be fair. Fella’s got hollow legs. Saying it’s a Preston thing is wrong imo. But that’s just a personal view.

Bet that was an interesting night!

He’s a Manc isn’t he? Bloody good player.

It simply doesn’t cater for the vernacular of all levels of society does it ?
At worst I may distantly have heard that said term refers to a Latin dance move ?
Smacks of desperation to be on the street to me

Puts our kits to shame!

Adidas with stitched on badges!

What is this medieval sorcery in these modern times?

Yeah Salford lad I think. It was a weird one. He was between jobs so to to speak and turning out essentially for a Sunday League team in Leeds. He absolutely shouldn’t have been doing it but mobile phones at the time had Snake on them and that was it!! So you were pretty much in the clear!!

Nice fella
