Vandals have caused damage to Bury FC's Gigg Lane stadium - just weeks before the club is hoping to make a triumphant return to football following a rocky few years.
Bury FC bosses have 'raised concerns' with Bury Council and Greater Manchester Police following an increase in vandalism and trespassing at Gigg Lane stadium - including an incident at the weekend where a group of youths were said to have broken into a toilet block before setting off fireworks.
The offenders then smashed panels and damaged parts around the stadium. The club said the youths left behind evidence with their names on, which suggests those involved are still at school. The club said the schools in question have been informed.
