Sad to see this invading NH...usually only happens in the summer when there's no football for the louts to go to...

Seven people were arrested and two taken to hospital by ambulance following a disturbance outside the main entrance at Sandown after racing.

Probably saw the each-way terms offered for the Imperial Cup.I would be angry and fighting if I had backed the third at a fifth the odds 1-2-3....

Happened at Kempton with West Brom 'fans' on the rampage and of course more recently the Welsh at Newbury beating each other up.
I have absolutely no problem with Welsh people inficting g.b.h upon each other but would rather it didn't happen at a racecourse. |

Kelso last Saturday.
Fight broke out at the back of the stand & in front of the Books.Jobs worth just stood back,made no attempt to stop it,turned around walked away & let them get on with it.He certainly wasn't going to get involved,what do they get paid for? |

When it happened at Kempton there was not a rozzer to be seen for miles let alone any on the track.

Apparantely the row broke out after the crowd were told that Paul Moloney had slipped out the back way.

The clue is leave the fight if its them & them (cct) most fights last abt 20 secs ...then the henches move in & they dont want to know.
A race course is abt the only place that U can have an 18th birthday & when there skint & drunk...........beinging told that their footy team is crap...................... |
|
By:
Seen many fights at racecourses but never seen an innocent get involved if they stand back...
What do you expect if you try and lure coach parties in from different areas... |
|
By:
why people can't behave nowdays lightweights after a few shandys, the worst part is kids seeing it at the racecourses.

I visited Haydock almost couple of years back (Helicarnisos won the old newton cup)and a couple of fights broke out there ....group of lads in suits charging out the stands to try and beat the hell out of folk.....not impressed at all with the place tbh.Guess that would be stag dos on the way to Blackpool after racing.

AND THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THE CLUELESS RACECOURSES WANT TO ATTRACT,TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE GENUINE RACEGOER

Shamokin....
Always stabbing on Variety Club Day - yet no-one ever complains.... |
|
By:
yup, short term beer and food revenues more important than long term fans of the sport, i can appreciate it's a difficult time and they need to attract people in the gate but some of the target audience are not racing people, some are just plain dross

was at chester a few years back when fancied nipping in for a pint...soon gave that a miss when i was greeted by hoardes of drunken

Friday nights at The July Course was heaving with non race goers who were there for the gigs afterwards, never saw any trouble there surpsingly enough.

never felt rough at newmarket although i moved to the other side of the country before it became as commercial as now
most of the acts back then although good in their day were abit past it by the time they dropped to racecourse gigs |

Meade in England,
Guess that would be stag dos on the way to Blackpool after racing. Haydock, for one, have created themselves as a stag do venue in itself. They positively encourage big groups to go along. |

homefortea you forgot to mention you could get 1st 5 1/4 on the rails at sandown but then again you would not know that as you never leave the flat
|

By:
Can't speak for the rails as I was only in the tatts. All 31 books were 1/5 a place in the 19 runner Imperial Cup. And they wonder why the on course market is dying. There was 1 book going 1/4 on the back row. AB Betting or GB betting I think they were called. After realising they were the only book going a 1/4 I went back to place a bet with them. By this time they'd revised their terms and had gone 1/5 a place.

A racegoer would have to be so drunk he couldn't manage to put his hands in his pockets to get some money out, before being refused service!

if you call minimum wage getting paid, they get about £6-40 phour. |

By:
obviously doesnt matter to us keyboard warriors but you,ve missed the most important point out,
they dont want to attract these people but without them racecourses wouldnt excist for long |
|
By:
Yes it would. To a large extent this 'post event fight' element has been removed from football - and that hasn't suffered.

I am a member at Sandown and not surprised to hear of fighting, albeit a little shocked that a stabbing was involved.
The stewards at the track are only responsible for checking badges and nobody is there to keep a check on crowd behaviour. Loads of stag dos there yesterday as usual - I have nothing agianst them in general but....one 'stag' was wearing a jockey outfit with an A4 piece of paper safety pinned on his back saying 'Kn0b Jonkey!'. Why is this allowed? If anything, he should have been forced to remove it on the basis that it is not even remotely amusing, letalone how crass it is. It wouldn't be allowed anywhere else and just adds to the antisocial behaviour that is gradually ruining what has always been a great day out for everyone. Also, it surprises me just how absolutely f*cked some people are at the track. I saw plenty that were hardly able to stand by the third race. Add to that, and you may call be a snob, but groups of neck tatooed thugs effing and blinding at the top of their voices - they look like they belong in prison. I note that Chelsea weren't playing yesterday and the thug ratio is hightened when there is no game. |
