Your supposed to be able to have fun at the fair, hense the name. I was really looking forward to taking my little boy who is 4 to this fair but thanx to these sad little idiots who ruin it for all, i won't be going now meaning it's my little boy who looses out on a couple of hours fun with his dad. Take your **** somewhere else so familes can give their kids a happy fun time without worrying that a chav war is gonna scare the crap out of their children!!!

I witnessed the majority of this 'mass brawl' and it was all completely unnecessary, started by drunken youths who think that they're 'hard' and need to defend their 'turf'. It was insane, started between two boys and all of a sudden, kids from all over the place decided to get involved. I'm surprised there wasn't already a police presence there to oversee the event as something like this was bound to happen. There were parents out with their children who just wanted a fun evening and that was spoilt within minuets. Youths use the excuse of boredom for the things they get up to, give them something to do that should have been fun and they ruin it for themselves. Smart.
