RoundTheBoards Posted 17 hours ago Report Share Posted 17 hours ago 2 hours ago, Racin Jason 72 said: Surely any damage to the stadium is down to the stadium owners to put right and claim off their insurance ? And not the people who rent the facilities I would imagine most stadium leases would be a full repairing and insuring lease. If the damage was done over 2 nights, it's a shame no one knew after the first night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the first night they didn’t make much noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Whilst I’m appalled by this vandalism, this go fund request doesn’t sit well with me. This is why we take out insurance on things we own. Clubs take advantage of supporters enthusiasm and their voluntary efforts throughout every season, which is why I think the club is pushing their luck in this situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I kind of agree with you, they've smashed their 10 grand appeal... hopefully if there's any money left after they've straightened those poles out (😉), they'll Invest in some kit in making the site more secure. It's a miracle it's not been targeted before now really in it's 15 year existence. Edited 2 hours ago by IainB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must live in Shangri-La where the police bother to track down certain groups of people after they've committed crime 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there had been CCTV to alert everyone on night one of the vandalism, it might have been possible to have some dubious lads with iron bars on standby for day 2 to avoid a repeat. I know of 2 tracks in the past where this has been an effective solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is forced to donate, purely a personal decision. The promotion have been overwhelmed by the support, both financial and practical, that they have received to date. How long does it take insurance companies to pay out? The need is now! Not in a few months time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if my memory's faulty, but i think there were a couple of severe vandalism incidents during the Hemsley era, which resulted in security measures being implemented. There was also the strange robbery incident when cash takings were taken from Mr & Mrs Hemsley in the car park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the cat park incident, can't remember the other incidents... that's not to say they didn't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
