Withernsea AFC have taken to social media to voice concern about fires at their Hull Road Playing Fields site.
The club said:
“We are extremely disappointed to report that fires have been deliberately ignited at the Hull Road Playing Fields on multiple occasions in the past week…These reckless acts are causing damage to club property and the playing pitches used by the players of Withernsea AFC. The pitches and facilities are an important community asset, and any damage impacts not only the club but also the many players, volunteers, and supporters who use and maintain them.”
The club thanked firefighters from Withernsea Fire Station who put out the flames and said the incidents have been reported to police.
The club went on to say:
“Please help us protect our facilities and ensure they remain a safe and enjoyable place for everyone in our community”
