This is what we’ve arrived to this morning 😡
What looks like a quad bike has caused significant damage to one of our parks, a pitch we’ve worked hard on throughout the summer and were just about to bring into use for our winter programme.
With the damage caused and no grass growth at this time of year, this pitch could now be out of use for at least six months.
The impact on our community club, our kids and our volunteers will be significant. Every park we have is vital to providing opportunities for the hundreds of children who play their football with us, and the volunteers who give up so much of their time to make it all happen.
We’re fortunate to have our 3G facility, but with the club continuing to grow, we’re already pushed for space to accommodate everyone.
It’s incredibly frustrating to see the hard work of so many people potentially undone by the actions of others. These facilities belong to the community, and the damage doesn’t just affect a pitch — it affects our children, our volunteers and the wider community we serve.
If anyone has any information about how this happened, please get in touch 🙏
🙏 Please share across all your social media channels where you can so the culprits can be identified.

@JimSpenceDundee Our game is too physical. Foreign players by and large meet the 'physical' and 'direct' profile, a less effective style of football than technical and creative - why we get outplayed by 'minnows'.
@MoltisantiGerry@JimSpenceDundee But we topped our wc group. Fuck knows how, outplayed by most teams, somehow got results, and a good 5mins at start and 10mins at end of Denmark game. Clarke approach in wc was wrong but tbf he's not got 5 or 6 banging on the door for each position either.
