[Deleted member 2719]

It all kicked off at Goodwood.

Please be aware the video in this link contains swearing and a bit more than handbags, that might offend.

Gentleman fighters......I think not.

Is this a common occurrence at the GG'S?

Time for banning orders, no alcohol in sight of the course and all seater courses.

 

[StonehamPark]

Idiots.

Pompey vs Stains

 

[Gazwag]

That's PPF's evening sorted

 

[AmexRuislip]

Cretinous individuals who have nothing to do with the gg's.

Football fans getting the blame for this one, chanting at each other in the bar before punches started flying apparently.

Standard Friday night pissed up fight ... just at a race course that's all.

 

[mothy]

Why?

#banlife

 

[Ernest]

Not the first time either , waste of time going racing at weekends as full of idiots off their heads wanting a punch up

 

[Beach Hut]

Has horse racing taken over football as the new violence kick off place ?

That was savage beyond belief to go an kick someone already down in the head

 

[BN9 BHA]

Anyone regularly go to horse racing and is violence a regular thing?
I've seen a few videos on Twitter recently of fighting at race courses.

Sport of kings

 

[Is it PotG?]

Sun, ale, gambling and some 2nd rate bugle.

Gonna happen

If the kick to the head guy is ever caught I would hope for a serious custodial sentence. A kick to the head like that can kill or cause life changing damage. Many will blame this on drink but actions like that are beyond excuses.

The man is completely defenceless that is GBH for me, was sickening to watch.

Been racing only a handful of times. I was intrigued by the social dynamics, upper and lower classes rubbing shoulders in an alcohol soaked environment that, late on, felt it would ignite given the smallest of sparks. Intimidating in a word. Most attendees there to get excessively drunk rather than to watch the sport seemingly. Not surprised it’s now got a hooligan tag if that videos anything to go by.

Pompey vs Stains

Guess or fact?

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Went to Royal Ascot a few times and there always seemed to be a big alcohol fueled punch up somewhere, albeit not as vicious as this was. Seemed as inevitable as the ticket scalpers and wide boys doing the 3 cup shuffle on the path from the station to the race course

Not banned, no.

But racecourses should be made all-seater and drinking banned in sight of the course.
