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.

Perhaps the first night they didn’t make much noise

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.

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.

And what about CCTV?... Are they trying to identify the culprits?

 

You must live in Shangri-La where the police bother to track down certain groups of people after they've committed crime 🙃

It’s a pis(s) take.

He didn't mention police.   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.

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.

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.

I remember the cat park incident, can't remember the other incidents... that's not to say they didn't happen.
