Vandalism
Once more last night Cliftonhill had unwelcome visitors who added more damage to the already poorly ground. After much publicity in the press highlighting the seriousness for a club in Rovers financial state and an appearance on the STV Scottish news the club received offers of help from some companies. Alfred McAlpine are to install CCTV cameras, Swift Cars have pledged £1000, the stewarding company employed on match days are sending in guards with dogs to patrol the ground (this started today and can be seen below). ROK of Motherwell pledged to help out with clearing up, painting and other things, they have already turned up at Cliftonhill and made things much more presentable.

Please note the pictures only show a small part of the damage done to the ground and that the 2 pictures taken inside the stand and the picture of the missing window show parts which were in a much worse state before ROK turned up to clear debris and clean.

Pre-Season
The pre-season fixtures in the north east of England have now been confirmed but are not the same as anticipated. Rovers will play Whitley Bay on Friday 20th July with a 7.30pm kick-off and Morpeth Town on Sunday 22nd July with a 2pm kick-off.

Vandalism
The stadium has once more been hit by the moronic Coatbridge element who damaged seating, sprayed graffiti and generally caused widespread damage. Any business willing to help put things in order is invited to come forward.
