Ashburton speedway fight. (Read 1,201 times)

[mini]

On the day of the New Zealand Ministock title there was a fight between some west coasters and one Canterbury guy, the Canterbury guy has been banned for 2 years and the west coasters got 2 years probation, it is our understanding that the people on probation cause the start of the fight and the Canterbury guy DEFENDING himself received a 2 year ban. It is our understanding that you can go down to ashburton and start a fight and not get banned. The ones that will get banned are copping the hiding. As we stood there and watched the west coasters assaulted 2 people with 3 punches (nice king hit didn't work) and the people getting assaulted defending themselves in relation to that one of the west coasters got put into the ambulance. Both parties were ordered off the premises and my understanding is the Canterbury guy has tried to over turn his trespass notice and he was told that because of the state of the beating that the guy that assaulted people first got his 2 year probation. Why Ashburton speedway have you banned the wrong guy???

There was alot of people in turn 4 watching this and think it sucks with what you have done as a club. As both west coasters were racing they threaten club members and members of the public with there cars. They made right PLONKERS of themselves.

We would like to hear others views on this as we think this sucks!

just dont paint all west coasters with the same brush ae...

best defence is to walk away especially in a public place with kids around..

personally dont think this the appropriate place to discuss it, hope this gets looked, seen to many discussions like this get way out of hand, just my opinion though

Thats what the canterbury guy tried to do but it didnt end up working that way. We dont have a problem with the west coasters its just certain bunch of people. We dont find it fair that the canterbury guy gets a 2 year ban for defending himself whereas the west coasters only got a slap on the hand for starting the fight.

We dont want to start another fight we just want the ruling overturned on the ban. This is our views only but we know there are a few people out there that have seen this from the start.

You should take your concerns up with the relevant club in this case Ashburton Speedway.
This is old history being revisited that really does not concern most people except the people concerned if they feel the need not outsiders. Thats where it gets messy.

Yes, this thread needs locking fast....

I can't see how anyone that wasn't there can judge the situation so it's really quite pointless starting a thread like this .
If people feel hard done by there are legal remedies , perhaps negotiation with SNZ . I assume they have done the banning at Board level .
This Board can't help though . Thread locked .
