PETERSFIELD Football Club is blaming the advent of the town's new skateboard ramp for a series of vandalism attacks at the ground in Love Lane.

Club secretary Mark Nicol says youngsters have been forcing their way into the ground in the evenings and at the weekend and causing havoc by kicking the stand, destroying seats and damaging the fence.

A full version of this story will be found in the Petersfield Herald of January 19, 2001.
