VIDEO: Punch up at Newbury

Come racing , real family day out

60 Odd thousand goes to Cheltenham and it never happens. Thank God the Festival is on during the football season.

Ban alcohol on course

Where are the police ??

It was Cardiff 'supporters' fighting Swansea, let the Welsh inbreds kill each, I haven't got an issue with that but stay away from the racecourses in future chaps thanks very much.

fking idiot taffs

fking idiot taffs

security were very effective

Video missed most of it.  Morons.

Inspector Phil Rogers said that there were only a few minor injuries and that no complaints were made to police.

Disgraceful scenes at a horse meeting.  If u let scum in and drink ALL day what else do u expect.  Come racing and drink as much as u want.

Totally agree with the comments about alcohol here and thought it was ridiculous when they started allowing people to drink in the stands and the betting ring. Will these yobs please stay away from our sport.

This could soon have been stopped with Big Mac in the middle of them telling them to grow up and behave.

Your previous name on here is?

Over the years violence among rival Welsh coach parties at Newbury Races has become something of a habitual problem, most scraps have usually occurred in the coach parking area however,I recall an incident in the early 90's when a fight broke out in Tatts bar with bottle being thrown through an elevated a television screen.
The only other racecourses I have personally witnessed fighting are Ascot and Newmarket.

Thankfully racecourses employ security.

Try & get in members witout a tie & they will be on you like a ton of bricks.

also at Kempton.

Coach party from wales  a recurring theme...they should all be tagged and any trouble barred from the racecourse

make them do community service in bridgend

newbury management, " there was an unfortunate incident that was dealt by with the security and the police "

fancy original you tube poster editing that bit from the footage.

Why not tell it as it is Newbury
Security wher fooking w@nk & couldnt organise a p!ss up in a brewery.

anaglog i saw a lady get her head stamped on
at cheltenham 2 years ago! also seen big scraps
at haydock newcastle and york. scum everywhere i'm afraid.

Seems a lot was cut out of the video it was 6 minutes long last night.

Just watched the video,disgraceful scences,very clear images of these yobs,should bring these filth in and lock them up.

As mentioned on the comments on you tube the litter picker just gets on with his job

Worst violence I have seen at a raceourse in over 25 years working for the caterers in the south. It's always been Welsh travelling up the M4 to Newbury that's been the problem. One group were ejected for being D&D before all hell broke lose.Most were drunk (and/or on drugs) before they got there. Security were overwhelmed with the numbers involved, and never has it been more difficult to get a drink oncourse, as any under 25 will testify and a crackdown by local police for at least the last two years. Spoilt a lot of peoples days as we had to close the bars in the grandstand and involve the police and even the army.

i see two of the books left there prices up,however i should think the bet count was affected.

Yep, 'Excuse me lads could ye move over there and continue your fight I'm trying to lay a bet here'' ''Come on folks e.w bets took here 1/8th odds"

Try & get in members witout a tie & they will be on you like a ton of bricks.

Funny that - I'm an annual member and haven't worn a tie for about 5 years so you must be confused!

always seems to happen on a saturday when  the coach partys turn up
saw a bloke glassed in the bar at newbury about 20 years ago
not been to a race meeting on a saturday since
only go racing mid week these days

The only other racecourses I have personally witnessed fighting are Ascot and Newmarket.

Not unusual at Haydock. Although, funnily enough, not during the NH season...

it's too cold in the NH season

Not during the NH season is correct Gonzo in my experience , maybe the soccer pond life have something better to do that time of the year & prefer to mix with their own type.


Good luck today all   

would only ever happen on a saturday too imo

Seen these sort of incidents at the Rowley Mile, Newmarket. It never happened 20 years ago. Racing has brought it on itself by heavily marketing it, and trying to get more and more people through the turnstile, and then plying them with drinks. At Newmarket, they had these people wondering round with kegs of beer for backpacks, and they basically were encouraging racegoers to buy a pint off them as soon as they entered the racecourse. It's appalling. We live in a drunk, anti-social, broken society. Blair's Britain.

are we sure it was cardiff fans...didn't see many red shirts there

johnnyrant, there may be a letter in the post about those backpacks tomorrow.

sorry to repeat this every season kissin, but the reason courses like newbury do little about it,is quite simply without these people attending you aint got a sport,

Yes its all about the money. Perhaps they should have a massage parlour area for the highly strung and only sell beer with a meal.

having watched the incident on youtube and red the comments ,a couple of things dont add up . firstly since when do cardiff or swansea fans go to newbury races in suits collar and ties on a saturday *ISS UP,secondly a rugby club in gorseinion is mentioned along with the dragons which is the newport dragons  rugby  and they are hardly city fans

like the good ol' days swans v soul crew.

can just imagine the next punch up...Blackburn v Burnley on Ebor day??

Who needs police when the Incredible Hulk is in town? (enters screen left at 1.50)

Disgraceful scenes tbh

I remember going to the Plate in Ncle

Loads of trouble and not a Taff in sight

Newcastle fans v Sunderland fans , coach loads of drunk jocks on the long driveway from the main rd to the stands, it was carnage

English / Welsh / Jocks it matters not, drunken scum are drunken scum , it is more about the type of filth we have bread in this country with fukkal respect for anything or anyone

Birch these pond life and scar them for life

The Ducky Boys vs The Wongs and The Baldies at the Ebor meet

Warriors come out to playeeyay

Class

Frankly security at all racecourses is all the old boys who are >80 and happy to work for fack all and hopefully a winning tip. Been going down hill for ages...too many coach trips and they are already more than half gone before they get in.

Too many horses and too many rubbish races. I can't see things staying as they are it's just not a viable business model and all the gamberholics are hooked on FOBT's and bingo.com or some other shyte.

R.I.P British Racing especially when Channel 4 are going to have all the racing and can't even be bothered to show a Group 3 live better to show another advert than show a horse race.

BBC no better. They've been treating racing with contempt for years imv

It's punters they all treat with contempt.. Then again, they have good teachers...

If some ignorant Welsh hooligans want to fight do it in Cardiff or Swansea not at an English racecourse. I once went to see Wales play at Anfield and the level of obscenity and racism was beyond anything I had before heard and I used to stand on the Stretford End at Old Trafford in the 1970s and 80s. I was a student in Cardiff and went to many rugby matches. Drink was taken to excess but the Welsh never fought between themselves or people from other countries. The 40 hooligans should be identified and banned for life from every racecourse and football ground in the country.

WTF !! Glad I didn't spot that on my own, would have to check I wasn't seeing things

Clearly from the you tube footage
1) Dozens of innocents, including women hung around close to the fighting, enjoying it, egging it on, filming it.
2) All those in the stands were cheering, clearly not intimidated, enjoying the spectacle with 30 minutes to kill, errr every 30 minutes.
3) Only a tiny handful were fighting and only amongst themselves.
3) Those hurt in the fight werent looking to get away.

Obviously stewards and police should sort it out but good grief the nonsense spouted on here.

A tiny irrelevance, bit of fun for those watching and participating and they all have a quick story to tell in the pub, big deal.

MullahOmar - if there was a Nobel Prize for the stupidest post ever you would just have won it.

that was the cops undercover...pmsl

Copied and pasted link, unable to view it. Do you have to av a you tube account to view?

yes - just sign up

Ta hip. hah fcuk that. Not yet another password to try remember.

just put in newbury punch-up.

looks like Haydock on a friday night

From Wales online: A spokesman for Cardiff City said he understood the fight was between “racing enthusiasts from two different areas of South Wales”

Shocking really. Imagine if you went there with your family and that happens. I would go home straight away.
The stewards didnt really know what to do, but then you dont expect a riot at the races, and why should they put their necks on the line for £50 or less.
