The football club where Steven Gerrard started his career has called out the "disgraceful" actions of off-road bike riders who destroyed their pitches.
Whiston Juniors FC posted that a man and a woman riding a quad bike and a small motorbike had driven across the community football pitches on Friday, March 10. The club said a "very young child" was also perched on the knee of the quad bike rider.
The club posted several photos showing the extensive damage, with tyre marks clearly visible where the riders had repeatedly driven in circles on the grass, churning up the surface of the pitch. The club told the ECHO several training sessions and matches had to be cancelled over the weekend due to the "disgraceful" damage on the council-owned pitches.
