This brawl at the races

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I have a mate who's been knocking out charlie at the races for years. Even the posh ones.

Why does Charlie keep on going with your mate if he knocks him out each time?

PIty Thatcher's gone. She'd have insisted on all-seater racecourses. Seats for the horses, too!

And trying to introduce ID cards.

I must have lived a sheltered life because I have never seen coke or seen anyone else take it.

The last time that I went to Haydock was a friday night meet, convinced the wife it would be a good night out and we could find a pub after etc on the way home.( plus I get my fix of horse racing/gambling). After about four races the crowd, probably made up of stag parties etc got so rowdy that I suggested we leave early as it wasnt the kind of place you would want your missus to be. The main problem as I see it is that the race tracks cater for stag dos etc and thats where the excess drinking happens, then they spill into the normal crowd pissed up and looking for trouble. So its more a consequence of the race track condoning large crowds of drunken revellers on race days to make up the numbers/income for that meeting. I often go to Bangor on Dee where its lots more laid back and the racegoers have gone to watch/bet rather than to get pissed up. So that guy blaming footy fans is bang out of order.

Seriously ? A few years ago I watched three lads kneel down on the floor at the Etihad and do a line each, straight off the concrete ! it is always happening in the bogs/bars/insert area here at City aways.

I was there and watched it from a balcony from start to finish.
Two gangs of scousers. Around 20 people tops (forget the news headlines of 50 etc).
Al pissed up. Carried on outside where they damaged and smashed a few cars in the car park.

Scousers involved in violence at a sporting event?

This has never, ever happened before so I just don’t believe you.

Surely we should light some candles out of respect?

Genuinely I haven't and I have been about a bit really, maybe I just don't take the slightest notice about what goes on around me. I have seen spice heads in Manchester just stood still with their heads down but that's about it.

It's an addiction.
