It's a shame that a few nutjobs have to spoil it as it gives the well behaved, even afer a few bevvies, majority a bad name.

QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 26 2009, 12:39 PM) Dare I say it, but the idiots aren't usually indigenous to Newbury. You may. And to go one stage further, in my experience they are quite commonly Welsh. I have quite a few Welsh friends and they are all cool, but for some reason Newbury Races attracts a lot of troublemakers from there.

And Bill1 sits back & waits for the inevitable backlash from the valleys. Thing is i often wonder that when the majority of people have to tighten their belts these days, there always seem to be a lot who can ( or maybe cannot ! ) afford to gamble their money away on the Nags. Personally my money is to hard earned to fritter it away.

If we had done the sensible thing and put the Newbury by pass through the middle of the race course then we wouldn't be having this posting . OK so the local hostelries would suffer but then there wouldn't be so many in the first place .

If you had made this sweeping statement about Indian/Parkistani people, in fact any nation that is a different colour, it would be labeled racist, so why do you think it's ok to refer to the Welsh in this way? You obviously have little knowledge of them, and I find your remarks offensive.

Mods - what do you think?

QUOTE (Iommi @ Nov 28 2009, 11:19 AM) Welsh, like any other group of people, you get all sorts. I don't think Welsh necessarily breed more yobs per capita, only that when the races are on, it brings them out. I've seen Brummy, Oxford, Swindon and London yobs also. Sensible post. Yobs can come from anywhere and any walk of life. As can nice people, druggies, charity volunteers, pioneers, mothers and criminals. Life is like a bag of revels.....
