Unsurprisingly, a father and son were convicted within the numbers. Jack Cooper has a carefully crafted, debonaire ‘School For Scoundrels’ image. David Salway looks really happy at the prospect of time inside.

James Whitlock 25; Jack Cooper, 22; Darius Wharton, 18; Kyle Binns, 26 and Jack McLoughlan, 23, all from Southampton.

Michael Suffield, 29; David Salway, 28; Mike Hand, 32; Leslie Sharp, 50; Tyrone Sharp, 27 and Peris Dore, 27, all from Gosport.

Nine men have been given prison sentences arising out of a mass brawl at Goodwood racecourse in May last year, which led to an oft-delayed court case that finally ended on Tuesday. A total of 11 defendants pleaded guilty to a range of offences in connection with the 30-man fight, described in court as a stag-do gone wrong, which lasted for around 10 minutes and shocked spectators on the busy spring Saturday.

Sentences were handed to nine of those involved at a previously unreported hearing in August, after they accepted charges of violent disorder. Eight were given custodial sentences ranging from eight months up to two years – in the case of James Whitlock, a 27-year-old from Southampton, who was caught in footage of the incident delivering a kick to the head of a man who was lying on the ground. The ninth man was given a suspended six-month sentence.

The case was finally wound up on Tuesday when the crown decided to accept guilty pleas to lesser charges from the two remaining defendants, after their trial had been postponed twice because of a shortage of court time. Kyle Binns, 27, from Southampton, was given a four-month sentence for affray while Leslie Sharp, 50, from Gosport, was fined £500 for common assault and ordered to pay another £500 in victim compensation.

Judge Robert Fraser accepted, after viewing CCTV footage, that Sharp had spent much of the fight “trying to calm things down” but then, after the brawl had gravitated towards an exit gate, had thrown a single punch at a security guard. The guard dropped to his knees and was then, the judge said, knocked unconscious by a kick from Sharp’s 28-year-old son, Tyrone, who was given a 20-month sentence in August. According to Sharp’s barrister, father and son were at Goodwood that day as part of Tyrone Sharp’s stag do.

You must breed a different class of chavs in Portlock. From your description I was expecting them to look something like these examples.

Too many divs doing crap coke and thinking they're hard.

How dare you call Darius, Kyle and Tyrone divs.

They're all upstanding citizens If a war came along they'd be on the front line with em.

I think you've highlighted the problem, to be front line cannon fodder one needs a modicum of intelligence, just enough to obey a ridiculous order at the very least!

He added that some of the defendants appeared to be supporters of Portsmouth and Southampton football clubs but did not find that the fighting was football-related.

Whatever!!!!

In their respective situations that would be the equivalent of Mooy and Shelvey fighting over a comb. :lol:

The defendants played that down, possibly to favourably affect the judgements? One of the newspaper articles said the trouble started after chanting. Smells like football club related.

In fairness there were convictions for affray.

"A person is guilty of affray if he uses or threatens unlawful violence towards another, and his conduct is such as would cause a person of reasonable firmness present at the scene to fear for his personal safety."

A jury convicted on that basis. A not unreasonable verdict, being as they were acting like a pack of loons.
