Topic : Friday night |
|
| victor |
anyone know what went on last night 10 police cars and helicopter in Silsden around 11.45 pm |
|
| Sarah |
There was a huge fight, around 20 people involved. The police were first called at around 9.30 and dispersed them but it all kicked off again later. The police were brilliant in both the way it was handled and in their response time. |
|
| alan |
Who was was fighting? |
|
| Sarah |
I don't know any names but it was on Gloucester Avenue |
|
| alan |
Don't want to know names, just curious what sorta group it was, drunks etc? |
|
| Sarah |
It was a party that got out of control - and I think that alcohol played a large part of it! |

Helicopter gave me fright of my life - listening to music with headphones on and windows open, music stopped just as it flew overhead, thought ET was visiting! |

two partys going on at the same time so two gangs of youths clashed,bottles smashed all over the place golf clubs being waved about story going round 13 year old silsden youth hit in face with a bottle seems to have been silsden lads fighting some off cum duns by the sound of it all from bradford or keighley |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) Whether they were Silsden lads or off cumdens, it doesn't really matter. They are all a bunch of mindless yobs. Pity the poor neighbours that had to put up with their loutish behaviour. Well done to the police for tackling it so well. |

whats happening to silsden more trouble last night at robin reports of people being bottled lads and lasses involved? |
|
| ginjo |
not suprised, a lot of violence in silsden at night, you just never get to hear about it because a lot of people don't bother to involve the police for fear of reprisals. It was gala day so no doubt some people used it as an excuse to drink all day. Regarding the other fight, how come only 4 people were arrested if 20 people were involved?? |
|

Please dont blame the Gala for violence,it wasnt Gala day on Friday and the worst night for fights was then,and Saturday night wasnt Gala day and trouble happened then too.Gala day is a good day for the community,bringing everyone back out onto the streets,a huge success.People unable to handle drink is the cause of violence and that can happen anyday of the year.  |
|
| ginjo |
I am not blaming gala for violence, the post said that the trouble was last night at the robin which would make it sunday night.I think the gala is fantastic and I know a lot of hard work goes in to it, I am merely stating the fact that like you say, some people cannot handle their drink and some people use the gala as an excuse to drink all day. |
|
| ginjo |
by the way, are you saying there was trouble on saturday night as well as friday and sunday? |
|
| jimmy |
I heard wine bar shut down n sold everything off half price but dont know what went on cos dont go in there.Just was told they got their windows smashed in. |
|
| pumbajunior |
yes noticed sunday lunchtime while blocking aire view for gala prcession that wine bar had 2 smashed windows |

When I first moved here I was told about the regular punch ups on Silsden Bridge between Silsden and Keighley lads. All of this has been going on for centuries. It is certainly not a new phenomena, so the end of the world will not be next week. Of course Silsden has already gone to the 'dogs', literally rather than euphemistically.  |
|
| ginjo |
so its ok then is it just because its been going on for centuries? I suspect the violence in silsden at the weekend was more to do with small minded people with old scores to settle who cannot handle their drink.Is silsden part of pubwatch and if so do the pubs put photos of the culprits up? I know this happens in some places, it is a good idea name and shame them |

Having let a generation of young teens become hardened street binge drinkers there is no surprise they carry on the same way when they become pub drinkers.Its too late to stop them now but we can stop the next generation. |

odd fight here and there its nothing just remember 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945 wars this is what all you old people did murder each other  none of you know what happened over the weekend so just wait till the true facts come out, and if I or my friends want to drink all day on gala then we will its noyhing to do with you so get off your high horses and get a life or is gossip and being do gooders the only life you all have |
|
| ginjo |
well that just sums things up typical selfish attitude,Of course it is something to do with other people when anti social behaviour affects them and their town.Perhaps you would like to tell us what really happened then. |
|
| Golden Oldie |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) I'm sorry, but how can anyone with an ounce of sense, bring 2 world wars into the debate. They were young men who had volunteered, or been conscripted into the armed services. Leave them out of it. The weekend events were just a bunch of boozed up idiots, out for trouble. As to whether this was a matter for speculation, innuendo, or just plain gossip is irrelevant.The majority of decent people do not want that kind of behaviour on their doorsteps. |
|
| alan |
I wouldn't take any notice ginjo, he's managed to offend most other groups including the disabled, and now those who gave their lives for freedom in this country. Thankfully he is in a minority in this town and the country in general. |

| Sarah |
Well put Golden Oldie, and as for you bogtoss, you can drink all day every day for all I care but when it starts affecting other people then you deserve all the critism you get. I'm probably younger than you, I'm no do-gooder, and I also enjoy a drink but I don't destroy property, cause fights and disrupt the peace. Alan, you can add me to the list bogtoss has upset and I don't even know what section I would be classed under! |
|
| ginjo |
I am not offended, just despair at the attitude of some people.I am also not old and I like a drink every now and again but sadly not in silsden anymore. |

quoteHaving let a generation of young teens become hardened street binge drinkers there is no surprise they carry on the same way when they become pub drinkers.Its too late to stop them now but we can stop the next generation. In your dreams. Even the Romans complained about the boozy Brits when they invaded, and so has every older generation with short memories ever since. |
|
| alan |
So were you a boozer then wahiba? |

Apart from the general disruption caused by these drunken thugs. I wonder how much taxpayers money it cost to send ten? police cars and the helicopter to sort them out. Surely they had better things to do as well. |
|
| bogtoss |
oh hit a raw nerve there then,look get real did any die no,was any one robbed no,did it effect any of you no,as for the big I like a drink too well get out more and try and help to keep our local pubs open? remember we are english fighting is in our nature or do none of you read history we cause wars we always have done I would rather are young people have a odd scrap in the street than being blown up in a dirty old muslim country abroad me I would just nuke the lot of them, as for the police its there job to come out in there vans and helicopters they have to air them out sometimes |
|
| ginjo |
oh dear!! what can you say the response from bogtoss  speaks volumes.Still waiting to hear the facts regarding what really happened on friday, saturday and sunday. |
|
| Sarah |
I would suggest you keep your comments to what you actually have some knowledge about bogtoss. If you managed to think for one moment, you would realise that Gloucester Avenue has an extremely broad range of inhabitants, ranging from elderly folk living on their own in the flats to small children - can you honestly believe it didn't affect them? Don't make assumptions about it not affecting any of us on this forum - you have no idea what you are talking about! |
|
| Golden Oldie |
What he lacks in literacy, he makes up for with vitriol!!! Is that person real, or is it someone else under a different name trying to make waves?Either way, BOGTOSS....BIG TOSSER ( P.C.Woodentop was bang on with that) |
