Doesn't look good for our City Of Culture status does it ?Anyone up there? What the hell was going on? national Youth boxing championships cancelled because a huge brawl broke out

Only thing is that other sporting events in our City could be affected by this. Just think the young boxers trained hard for this, but now it's cancelled and it was a 3 day event.There's been trouble between travellers at similar events in the Midlands
Wonder if it's the same families involved?

Many travellers I've come across have been pretty decent. Tyson Fury is one and comes from a large travelling family. Then again as with all large families it's a case of one in all in if it kicks off .But just think about all the preparation and training put in for an international event like that. I bet the mention of Coventry in the future will be met with " I think we'll give Coventry a miss ! "You're right B. Shame for the young lads who've worked hard leading up to the event. If it's happening frequently I wonder if they can ban the people responsible from attending?
I went to an event my mate put on and there was a gypsy lad from his gym involved in one of the bouts.
Just before the gypsy lads bout some lad stood next to me turned to his mate and said "there's a gyppo fighting next" only he said it too loud and all the gypsies heard him.
They gave him daggers but that's as far as it went. Couldn't believe it didn't kick off.

Hopefully it wont. But it doesnt look good does it.Why would rival traveller families brawling at a national event reflect badly on Coventry? Nobody will pin this on the venue or location.

Brents (Brent Parkers) and Dohertys been going for ages. Dohertys around the Northampton area.
Last minute shows spades, hammers and an axe.
Two Gypsy families by the looks of it.
Because they couldn’t get over a 4ft fence for the best part of 5 minutes so hardly going to have a straightener in the car park.No respect. Why not just have a scrap in the car park?
When you said you worked in Offenham for the Johnsons, did you mean the infamous Johnson traveller family in Cleeve Prior? There are loads of traveller sites round here, but it's only the Johnsons who cause all the trouble!Had a season running pea picking many years ago which was popular with the travellers back then as it was a cash crop.
First few days quiet then one day had van loads turning up from Doncaster, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Lincoln. Just emptied the vans and went at each other with all sorts of weapons. Just had to sit and watch until basically they finished it themselves.
With them, not for themWhen you said you worked in Offenham for the Johnsons, did you mean the infamous Johnson traveller family in Cleeve Prior? There are loads of traveller sites round here, but it's only the Johnsons who cause all the trouble!
