AVOLUNTEER-LED football club has been left counting the cost after vandals smashed up parts of their stadium twice in a week.

Thugs have twice entered Caernarfon Town FC’s facilities at The Oval stadium and trashed a number of rooms, leaving staff there devastated.

The facilities were first hit the week before last when the canteen area was left damaged.

Much worse damage was caused last Monday evening, when the canteen, boardroom, shop and hospitalit­y suite were broken into and vandalised, which the club said would result in “great cost”.

Images released by the club showed several rooms having been trashed, with paint poured onto the floor of one room and chairs thrown around in another.

The club’s interim chairman Paul Evans said: “We are disappoint­ed, and very frustrated, to have been targeted this way.

“Last week’s incident, limited to the canteen, was bad enough but this latest vandalism is of a much greater scale and will set the club back financiall­y.

“We are a volunteer led club run by supporters, for the supporters, and pride ourselves on being a big part of the community. It saddens us greatly that someone would think to harm us in this way.”

He added: “We wish to think all the supporters who turned up tonight to help us clear the mess. We as a board are once again indebted to the Cofi Army for assisting us when we really need it. We urge anyone who knows anything about either or both of these disappoint­ing instances to contact Dylan Wyn Hughes, PC2580.”
