Whilst it's bad news all round that some w@n#er threw a can I will be gutted if it was a Tigers supporter. When these incidents happen I always hope it's just some idiot that has no idea what the Teams Champs are all about.
Being a Tigers supporter I was extremely disappointed at the loss but you just think bugger it, at least we lost to a fantastic team and they gave it their best shot.
I have the up most respect for pretty much every driver that puts their body and car on the line at one of the toughest sporting events in New Zealand especially the likes of Ress and Bengston.
I hope the culprits are found and banned, but that could be hard to in force so maybe naming and shaming is the way to go. It's an extremely gutless act and a terrible look for our sport.

I was questioning this post myself as I had read somewhere that it was someone covered in orange. And the other reason was that the guy in the photo Gordon removed looks remarkably like a guy I know from Palmy who is Panther proud. I could be wrong as his face was obscured by that wire rope. Just hope an innocent person is not crucified is all as I've now heard 3 descriptions but only heard of one can! P.S I myself rate 58p as one of the best teams racers around! ever consider the guy could of been a palmy supporter throwing can at steiny who was rarking up the crowd support?  ? or because this guys palmy driver was rolled, bowled and a##holed |

Reuben 'hurricane' Carter comes to mind. |

the can thrower was a fat little kid, all of about 10 or 12 in a Nelson shirt, the officials looked right at him when he done it and just let it slide ...... the crowd certainly got into him but nothing else was done. This so call KID in orange is 30 ish and sad to say is from startford ( we are not all like him ) He was all so in the pits after the first nights racing in his yellow and black overalls giving peter rees abuse  come on Markus own up to what you did and stop every one guessing Have fun but leave the drivers alone with out them there will be NO show Good humor between fans is great but throwing stuff is for morons |

If he was 30 then I am concerned about my eyesight (from the second row) either way, all of this happened right in front of the officials, the kid didnt even run away - he just stood to the side laughing with his mate. In my eyes, if these officials are not motivated enough to follow up on this sort of crap then I sure as hell aint gonna bust my chops doing there job for them.

During the presentations at the end I'm sure I heard Scott Mires thank people for throwing stuff at the Panthers?
Not sure thats a good thing to say.

By the tone of Scottys voice he was being sarcastic and sounded really pis$ed off.
I know the name of the guy who threw cans on t3 and abused Reesy as im sure most Straty people would probably know who he is...

Don't know the guy but is it fair to crucify one guy for the sins of many? Lol ironic statement really but a lot of fans behaved poorly and thats what needs to change - not just this guy. Will shaming him stop others? i doubt it! |
