Vandals target stadium again

OLDHAM Rugby League Club’s Whitebank Stadium, a regular target for vandals, has been hit again.

Emergency services were at the ground after it was reported that trees were ablaze and children were in the vicinity.

No-one is believed to have been hurt.

Club chairman Chris Hamilton, said: “Trees inside the ground had been set on fire and a stretch of picket fencing, between the scoreboard and the bottom end of the ground, had been vandalised.”

Only three weeks ago vandals broke into the match-day office and started a fire which caused extensive damage.

The club is asking anyone has information about the latest incident, which happened on Sunday evening, to call 0161-628 3677.
