Rally Hooliganism

Alcohol will always be around rallies. You cant fully enjoy without it. But definatly there should be control.
And baseball bats at rallies? I dont think they were playing baseball were they? All of them should have been locked up. Maybe the border-control people should not let people with baseball bats cross it?

If people are seen to be being assholes on stages they should be kicked by some security guards or something. But again on rally stages it isnt possible. :(
I am sure no one wants to fight and beat people up on rally stages right? So whats with the baseball bats?
You come to enjoy the rally, I come to enjoy it... Why do we need to kill each other to have fun?
Crap like this only brings negativity to rallying and WRC. And we have enough of that as it is.

We all know that almost all east europeans are alcoholics. Almost everywhere I see them they are causing ****. I am so happy I am far away from them; but from some reason I just cant seem to get away from myself :p

What a load of crap

That is a load of bull. I've never been out in the woods drinking under a rally, and I've always enjoyed it that way. Drunk spectators are dangerous spectators, both for themself and others. And how can they follow the cars and enjoy the experience anyway, when they are so drunk that they can't even stand upright?

The problem is that the Finnish form of baseball, pesäpallo or pesis, is the national sport of Finland. The border-control people would probably be just be pleased if foreigners appeared to be interested in pesäpallo:

In one of our national rallies, this crowd behaviour was a big problem on a certain "special" stage in recent years. This one stage always attracted thousends and thousends of people, and most of them were only to visit this stage to see some "nice cars" coming by. So, not the real rallyfans I'm speaking about.

Lately, they charge money for stage entry, which gladly reduced this problem. They introduced this system on many other stages too. Bit of a shame, since they were all free till some years ago. But luckily, it's mostly the rallyfans your dealing with right now :)

Hmmm... sounds like a NASCAR event! Even Europe has Red-Necks w/attitudes!! LOL!!!!

No... we'd solve it w/guns!! Didn't ya' hear?? We're all gun toting right wing lunatics!!! Buwahahaha!! Look out, here we come to get you! LOL!!!

This is a little bit offtopic but here we go. Couple days ago father with his daughter and wife walked on pedestrians road when one Audi came towards them (on a pedestrians road). This person said to the guys in this Audi that what they were doing was abnormal. So this father got beaten up very badly - jaw was broken from several places, he lost few teeth, ha had already one surgery and few is coming up as well.
I think there's something very seriously wrong in our country. I can see everyday this kind of behaviour where people do not care about any kind on rules or humanity itself. It's really frustrating to live in such kind of community. I'm starting to think of moving out from Tallinn or maybe even from the whole country.

What made us laugh was, we had travelled from another country to watch the rally ,and we saw drunk finns fast a sleep while all the top cars passed on some stages.What is the point of going to the rally?
