I'm using my partners log on to reply to this as this is an issue I have been quite upset about since last night...
We were in the room before & during the press conference and saw both the bottle throwing incident (unfortunately though not who threw it) & heard the abuse coming through the windows.
Both of these incidents disgusted me especially what happened during the press conference, we were lining the room and a few of us were leaning against the windows & at 1 point I thought the "fans" outside were going to smash the windows, not only that but there were a number of small children in the room, a few of them the riders families, regardless of what did or didn't happen on the track no-one should be subjected to that level of abuse.
I also think that the small minded few who tried to drown out the Danish national anthem by singing our's over it, blowing airhorns and booing show a complete lack of respect for both the riders and the visiting overseas fans, they need to think back to the beginning of the meeting when our national anthem played, I looked over the crowd and virtually everyone was standing and respecting our national song!
It's upsetting that a brilliant night of speedway will be forever remembered as "oh that's the year someone threw a bottle at the Danes!" rather than for it's spectacular riding and close competition!!!
