Fair play to these boys!! The buggers even camped out right on the square as well. Anyone know the team?

Grr hate people who have no consideration for others.

I wish these by law loopholes they abuse would be shut down.

If they had been successfull I would have tried the "you're welcome to stay but we are going to continue our practise as we normally would. If you stay you accept and acknowledge we have our right to do this and are that the club are not responsible for any damage"

Right lads, time to practice your 6 hitting, who can clear the caravans......

Wonder who will be given the duty to clean up faecal matter. Probably a newbie. We had travellers broke in to our grounds a few times now. We had barriers in place but they just break in as they please.

Most are always in big groups and are rather rough, even the women. Be sure not to leave your expensive bats lying about.
