@FARE_Scotland
Gutted to come into stepford today and find the 11s goals damaged hopefully not beyond repair as they can cost up to £3500 per goal.
Kids get in to use the park but Saturday and sunday nights after we close just a gang hut and drinking den.
Can’t believe after all the community hard work at stepford to get and keep it open someone thinks it’s ok to cut and damage the fence. Can’t be kids surely as heavy gauge steel would need a bit of strength. WHY!!!!! Police looking at cctv now.
