A SCOTTISH football club has asked for assistance in identifying the yobs who vandalised their pitch with a ROAD ROLLER this week.
The Lowland League side shared CCTV footage of the damage which happened on Wednesday night.
Cowdenbeath FC have hit out on social media after discovering the turf at their iconic Central Park ground was destroyed by youths two nights ago.
A video of the incident has been released online with the club requesting help in their investigation.
The clip shows the moment a road roller was driven from the touchline and onto the pitch, damaging the grass in the process.
Huge streaks were left on the turf as they drove all over the pitch – from the side of the dugouts to one of the goals.
It’s unclear just how much damage was caused but those involved with the club have been left furious.
A Cowdenbeath statement read: “Cowdenbeath FC regrets to report that our stadium was the target of an act of vandalism on the evening of Wednesday 5th March.
“At approximately 9pm, intruders unlawfully entered the ground and proceeded to start and drive a road roller onto the pitch, causing significant damage before colliding with a building.
“Those responsible filmed the incident, and this footage is likely to be shared.
“The Club is currently reviewing CCTV footage to assist in identifying those involved. We urge anyone with information regarding the individuals responsible to come forward by contacting the Club.”
The CCTV footage appears to show the incident took place at around 10pm.
The condition of the pitch will be a huge concern for Cowdenbeath who are due to host Broxburn Athletic in the league tomorrow.
The Blue Brazil are already facing mounting financial concerns after it was revealed this week the Scottish fifth-tier side lost almost £20,000 during the 2023/24 season.
The club has now registered a loss of £250,000 from the last few seasons in total.
