Royal Ascot - Tats, Fights & Slags

[Dedworth]

For 300 years, it has been the highlight of the summer calendar for the well-off and well-connected.

As with any large gathering involving people, you'll get the odd fight, not unusual at sporting events. As for top hats, you are not allowed on the track without one, and if you are seen without by a steward they will ask you to put it back on or leave the track.

I'm more aggrieved that camel-riders with a middle-ages belief system seem to run the show now.

300,000 people .... 1 fight ... I'd say that was excellent management. Could you imagine those stats in any major city on a Friday night?

[grahamw48]

That's just the start....before they head into town.

I live in York.

A longstanding traditional event has now been dragged into the gutter by the pondlife and scumbags foolishly allowed entry

They get fights every year at Royal Ascot .... and nearly all major racing events .... they just don't make the news as usually it isn't news unless you read the Racing Post. It only made headlines as all the major media companies already had tv cameras there. No incidents at Aintree, but people thrown out of Cheltenham Festival for disorder.

How do you know they are scumbags? It happened in one of the expensive enclosures, not the one the riff raff go in

[Dedworth]

Reading this BBC write up I'd suspect that the low life have dragged it into the gutter - arrests up 5 fold from last year

So less than 50 arrests out of 300,000 people .... I'd say that was excellent management of crowd control when drugs and alcohol are freely available. You get arrests in all sports, even Wimbledon last year
