Default Tent & Grass Roller

Prank, or more sinister ?

Ive always had problems with drunken rugby players/supporters, but this takes the biscuit.




BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | Arrests in rugby roller incident



Where was Bubba going camping this weekend, maybe it was a Muppets initiation ceremony gone wrong.

Hard to tell but they were no doubt steaming drunk. Not sure what the police will pin on them.

Does sound like a prank gone wrong - but you have to be a thicko not to realise the damage that a grass roller could do.

Police have arrested 21 men after a female rugby fan was crushed by a metal lawn roller as she slept in a tent.

Her injuries are not life-threatening

How about drunk and disorderley and GBH to start with. Then a word with the club chairman to ban them if they are members and plenty of local publicity. Stupid b,astards

Even if they were out of their brains which they must have been, there is no excuse for such a dangerous action. Hope they get hammered for that and that the girl recovers fully.

Nice on the way in, not nice on the way out.

Usually have a gimpy handler who will explain how he is keeping an eye on everyone.

Then the handler gets spiked, falls off his stool, and the drinking games commence.

Then the chanting, then the fighting...usually in that order.

Bad memories of Branigans in Chester, which seems to be the place for Welsh rugby does, stag nights etc, I think Chester is the place to let your hair down if your Welsh.

Ah right from a doorman view-fair enough-yes the drinking games have been known to go on when on tour but most of the violence(and I've not experienced very much-very little in fact) tends to be directed at each other as far as I remember untill they either fall asleep or unconcious.
Although I concede I've not been to Chester before.
Whats your 'door opinion' of footie supporters are they as bad?-obviously smaller groups of similar number to the rugby boys rather than the fighting packs of hundreds.

Years ago I remember there were a bunch of pissed up welsh rugby players on the coach to newquay, one of them lost a drinking bet and the forfeit was to suck one of the other players *****. which he gleefully did

I think thats just a Welsh thing, nothing to do with rugby, he was probably the only gay in the village!
