Well I suppose the soccer hooligans need something to occupy them between games.
:lfao:
sorry but this is one of the biggest pieces of exaggeration I've seen for a longtime!
The Star is the newspaper that brought you headlines like "Freddie Starr ate my hamster" and "London bus found on the moon". When 9/11 happened it wasn't on the front page, they put some bimbo who had slept with a soccer player who dumped her was so there you go, it's a trash paper.
I know everyone involved in the show, some trouble did break out, the security sorted it. The venue wasn't trashed and no one went screaming for cover. A full sized pool table wasn't thrown over the balcony, it was moved only a little way across the room it was in.
So there you go. It was actually a quiet night as far as Rotherham goes, I don't know what the picture is but it's not of the venue, I've been there to MMA shows before so know it well.

Freddie Starr ate your hamster!!!!!!Was that before or after he parked the bus on the moon?
I still say it was an Ozzy concert
Hmm...what is it that the arts are supposed to teach again?? Oh yeah...self control, being polite, respectful, etc. Hmm...I think a few people forgot about those lessons.
Martial arts hooligans? Sheesh!
Aresnal/West Ham lol!
it was a fight night, tickets were sold to the public, some yobs got drunk and decided the MMA wasn't violent enough ( the media hyping up MMA I expect) and decided to have a fight as the MMA as they discovered is martial arts, they wanted blood and guts so thought they'd kick off. the security however were more than a match lol!
Pool Table?
My Full size pool table is a three piece granite slate table. I can barely life and move a corner by myself. To pick up and clear a balcony and then to have little to no damage done by the table or to the table, makes me seriously believe it was not full size nor slate.
That being said, yes it is a bad image for the martial arts.
You mean there's something that hasn't been thrown at you?
Touche'
I have things driven at me that were large, but not that large and thrown at me. So, I guess there are a list of items of significant mass that one could say has not been thrown at me.
But pool cues are another story.
We were chatting to the promoter about this on Tuesday, the pool table was moved but not thrown.
the venue did make one big mistake though by not providing plastic glasses for the drinks, it used the glass ones, very big mistake.
It can't have been that big a riot as only four were arrested and no one has been charged yet ( see the thread on the self defence section about golfers being arrested so you know being arrested doesn't mean anything)
