StevePark Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 So it's Richie Worrall's fault somebody shouted at him "I hope your dead" is it? Ah, it's Newcastle fans fault now is it? Perhaps it would be easier if people stopped trying to defend the indefensible? Sad as it may seem, we are getting closer and closer to segregated fan enclosures. I hope it never happens, but it seems inevitable. Where would the neutral fan go? I sometimes pop up to Berwick to see a meeting not involving Newcastle (Workington and Edinburgh last season are just two examples). Can't see that working at many tracks inc. Newcastle (a few others as well), where there is only one stand and segragation would be virtually impossible and the extra stewarding would be quite costly and, at the end of the day, clubs couldn't afford it and the only way round it would be to put admissision prices up, so that, eventually, the stewards would have far less fans to keep apart. I see what you are getting at though, but, it IS only a minority and clubs SHOULD be more pro-active at getting rid of these mindless idiots who are spoiling it for a lot of people. This is nothing new. Over 15 years ago I went and had words with a fellow Nnewcastle fan who had shouted "Die Dixon" as Mad Dog came around to the tapes. As someone who was present when Chris Prime and Wayne Garratt had their fatal accidents I felt I had to point out to this moron the horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach when someone does die annd you have paid money to see it. Awful. I was there the night of the Wayne Garratt accident. I was also there the night David Nix died at King's Lynn in the Conference League match against the Gems. It effects you (well me) forever.

Boro Bare Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Appreciate the content of your post there Chewbacca and the acknowledgement that this is a 2 way problem thats been going on for years. Sadly the Tyne Tees rivalry brings out the worst in both sets of supporters and I'm a little tired of the "your fans are worse than ours" argument from both sides with some posters clearly more interested in antagonising the situation than finding a solution. Less impressed with Idanthyrsus' attempt to fan the flames further though. At no point has Mr Middlesbrough said the incident was Richie's fault nor has he tried to blame the Newcastle fans. Like I said though, some people are only interested in antagonising the situation. Don't think segregation is necessary either. If there's a will to sort this behaviour out then both promo's currently have an ideal opportunity to do so. With the meeting being recorded, the abuse clearly coming from near where the accident occured, a couple of witnesses plus Richie's own input then surely the culprit can be identified. So obvious you wonder why it isn't happening, who knows, maybe attempts are being made behind the scenes that we just don't know about. Sincerely hope so. Peace out.

Don't worry bare, I'm so used to my posts being dissected twisted and bits added on by the usuall forum arseholes to twist what I'm saying Segregating fans ? Your talking out of your hoop now my friend, and where would the money come from for that ? Seperate terrace seperate bar ect, what sort of idiot would even suggest that in speedway ? Theirs never been a need for it and never will be full stop. Lets all make a big thing of worrall getting shouted at blah blah to take the onice of what your lot have already done in the past, im not condoning this what so ever but this was all laid to rest in earlier posts, all tracks have idiots END OF. I suggest next time any of you lot come to the stemp you point out the said idiot and report him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
