The club is dealing with ongoing, deliberate vandalism at our facilities. These actions are intentional, reckless, and unacceptable.
We were extremely disappointed to find that our locks to our community facilities had been cut off during the weekend.
To be absolutely clear: every lock that is damaged or removed will be replaced immediately. This will continue regardless of how many times it happens. However, each incident diverts time, money, and volunteer effort away from football, youth development, and community use of the club.
These actions also create serious safety and security risks, including unauthorised access to the ground and potential danger to the public.
In addition to the locks, we are aware of further damage and anti-social behaviour in and around the facilities. All incidents have been logged and formally reported to the police. The club is working closely with them, and CCTV footage, photographs, and witness statements are being reviewed.
Let there be no misunderstanding:
This behaviour will not be tolerated.
Those responsible will be identified
Anyone found involved will face police action, club bans, and recovery of costs where possible
If you think you are being clever or anonymous, you are not.
If anyone has information that may help identify those responsible, we urge you to contact the club directly or report it to the police. All information will be treated strictly confidentially.
This is a community club. Vandalising it damages opportunities for players, volunteers, and local people.
Enough is enough.
