Let's hope there is no swearing at Poole fans from the Glasgow camp, like has been put up on twitter from one of the Edinburgh meetings apparently. 

Edit- there is a video clip from the victory parade. 

Saw the clip, and yes that was out of order, however you need to realise their is a fierce rivalry between both clubs and when the tigers were the poor relations for years, we Glasgow fans took an immense amount of stick, and now that Glasgow are doing well, some Monarch fans can't take it, and I assure you the abuse we got last week from some of those fans, I wouldn't even repeat and that was after we applauded their team for the win, so please don't judge us by one clip, there are good and bad fans in both camps

Where can I see it. Had a look on twitter.

Fierce rivalry or not no need for anything I've heard from both sides last few weeks. I'm all for celebrating but sore losers and sore winners ruining the whole atmosphere. Getting to stage not going to be away fans going which is what neither club wants. End of the day as the northern outposts of British speedway we need each other and everybody needs to realise that.

Feel there is behaviour from a few teams fans that you would normally see at football matches. I go to football too and can see it creeping in. Social media doesn’t help.

Would agree Jaizer. I have to bite my tongue and not reply to some stuff on here too.

I agree, I don't like the football stuff coming into speedway, I was ranting at an Edinburgh fan calling us the unwashed on social media last week, I don't mind the banter, we both do it, but I hate the football stuff

Like you've said it's a football atmosphere creeping in, don't like it at all. Stopped going to Ibrox as much for that very reason. Banters fine but some of the vitriol getting spouted just no need for

Problem is it wasn’t a fan it was your team manager on the back of the parade truck giving people hand gestures. Then decided to give more abuse afterwards. 
Not exactly professional.

Haven’t seen it but suspect a lot of Glasgow fans would agree that he’s a balloon.

Exactly, that was why I said it was out of order, he should have been more professional,  the booing from fans doesn't bother me, that is just banter, but our team manager should not react .

Here:

Christopher Black on Twitter: "I may be rowdy and I may swear. Didnt swear at anyone and have pals to back that up. Jokingly booing team (riders were laughing) then a Team Manager thinks he is the big man. Not very professional from the most professional speedway club in the world ever. https://t.co/7szGRb519U" / Twitter

Only saw it as one of my friends shared it on their account.

Looks like a sacking offence to me... Hopefully

Social media is a cesspit especially Twitter , 

But banter at Speedway Football or whatever is is just that.

However is as said about our team manager last night that is not very gracious but not exactly worthy of a bashing either.

He reacted to a situation , he probably thought afterwards I probably shouldn’t have done that but in the heat of the moment he did is it that big a deal ?.

In today’s society I feel people go out there way to be faux offended.

Not only that though. Reading the original post, he was being followed around the stadium.
