Was shocked to read on the talbot twitter feed that beechwood park has been targeted by mindless vandals who have damaged both walls in there enclosure and its in urgent need of repair . What hope do clubs have when a club at the centre of a community , who have like or not done so much for the community get targeted like this .

Other proud junior clubs have suffered to, Ashfield a junior club who have been around for over 100 years were targted a while back and nearly went out the game because of there stand being burnt down , glencairn have had there problems with fences being broken ,glass all over the place .
Shettleston had there problems with vandals , renfrew western park has also suffered badly
Did ardrossan winton rovers not suffer badly from vandalism ?
even Jeanfield swifts a smaller club in perth have been plagued with fires and vandalism .

Is no club safe from the scourge of vandalism !

No cause the beds don't give a monkeys about anyone except themselves. Hopefully the catch who did it

aye we got hit hard late 90's 1st the dressing rooms for the training pitch got torched, then the social club finally the stand. The only thing the scum didnt get was those 5 floodlight pylons that stood guarding the ground, symbols of a past time when we were on the up, symbols of hope. Now those pylons shine bright once again. The old board tried to destroy the club, the vandals tried also.. The good people stood and fought to save a club, we won

"It's because the government have taken away all the youth clubs etc etc etc"

F**king b*llocks. These wee ar*eholes should be dumped at sea, absolute drain on society and cause thousands of pounds of damage and needless hassle for lots of people and organisations.

I hope all the football clubs concerned are able to recover from whatever damage they have suffered, always sorry to hear of this sort of thing, especially when you consider all the tireless and sometimes thankless work done by so many hardworking committee members at junior clubs across the country.

These are the stories you want to hear! Hope to see you playing us in the Premier next season, never been to Winton Park.

Just bloody typical of today's vermin - no respect for anyone or anything and see the world as one enormous toilet to crap on whenever they feel like it with someone else to do the flushing and cleaning of it.



Mind you, if the club subsequently gets an coincidental offer from a security firm to look after their premises (not that I am cynical or anything, it's just with that Scottish Cup run and TV money they're now due, it does seem an extraordinary coincidence they of all clubs have been targetted), I hope the Talbot committee passes their details onto those wee neds that have been latching onto them and tell them to go do something useful!

Too many Cuts by the con/dem government in the UK that have caused youth clubs to close down and that's why they hang about streets drinking when there is nothing to do this is why we got a government who in the 80's caused a lot of cuts and where nearly totally wiped out in Scotland at the last general election.

It's time we fight all the way with the FAT CAT Billionaires David Cameron Nick Clegg and a course George "The Axe Man" Osborne they are cutting services when they keep getting more to bring us out of recession. I Don't Think So. More unemployed people because of cuts to jobs living going up it's not fair on anyone and I am even saying this when this year we can make ourselves heard in the council elections in May and tell this lot "WE DON'T WANT YOUR CUTS" F*** OFF Cameron Clegg Osborne. Step foot in Scotland and as good old man said but i ahve changed it a bit for this statement to end. "This is Scotland and we will just set about yer."

FFS PAL CALM DOON !! , These mindless vandals wouldn't bother with youth clubs even if there was loads of them about ,they would still be roaming the streets causing trouble and up to all sorts including mindless vandalism. There not interested in spending time with pals in a controlled enviroment like a youth club

This effects clubs in small communities like auchinleck and big city clubs like ashfield.God know's what the answer is but opening up loads of youth clubs wont solve the problem nor will shouting abuse at clegg and cameron ( though i am sure that would make most of us feel a bit better ! )

Pollok has not suffered much from vandalism has it ?

What i don't get about the auchinleck thing is that the whole village is so proud of the club , its something that is passed on through the generations you would think . Surely even the yobs that live in auchinleck would have grown up and had respect for the talbot.

The other clubs i mentioned are slightly different from talbot by that i mean not being the pride and joy of the village/town/area of city.

Fair point they may well not be from the village , i never thought of that.


I HAVE A QUESTION FOR PEOPLE , IF YOU WALKED BY YOUR GROUND AND SAW VANDALS INSIDE WRECKING THE PLACE , WOULD YOU AND BE HONEST ...

A) SHOUT AND THEM AND MAKE YOUR WAY INTO THE GROUND AND TRY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THERE AND THEN

B) PHONE THE POLICE AND WAIT TILL THEY COME

C) DO NOTHING AND KEEP WALKING , HOPE THEY GET BORED AND MOVE ON SOON WITHOUT CAUSING TO MUCH DAMAGE.

The ones that are doing it are the same ones that will be there at Beechwood shouting on the Talbot any time a big game comes along and are never seen for the rest of the season.

My answer would be B but as i said before it's all about cuts as well and they would just take forever to turn up and the vandals would be away by the time they turn up.

i guess you need to take into consideration drink / drugs or both , ffs yobs who do this kind of thing at any ground probably wake up in the morning and have no recollection of what's gone on the night before.

That's the sensible answer.

However if I am anywhere about the ground, it usually means I have been in Shawlands and therfore will have a drink in me and therefore will be a bit bolder and would probably get myself into something stupid... lol

Remember have a drink in tassie's on kilmarnock road ( near your ground) a few weeks ago with some guys from work , on way home a bit worse for wear decided to show them newlandsfield park . They loved it and wanted me to take them to a game . Had to explain a don't support a wee diddy team like pollok , i support the Rabs .

The thing is we had a drink and were full of it but never for a moment thought about causing any damage and even when me and my pals were teenagers we never thought of doing such a thing.

Same. Something that never has and never will cross my mind, whether that be football grounds or any other type of property. It's just the mentality of some people with nothing better to do with their time, nothing to do with lack of youth facilities or any of that guff.
