Vandals have caused "extensive criminal damage" to Preston North End's Deepdale stadium which has been exacerbated by deliberate fires, the club has said.

 

The Championship club posted on its website that it had been the "victim of a number of incidents" and its staff had been threatened in recent weeks.

 

It said Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service were concerned that if a fire takes hold it would do serious damage.

 

Police said they were aware of the incidents and investigating them.

 

'Stop anti-social behaviour'

 

The club's safety officer Mark Farnworth urged anyone with information to contact him or the police.

 

He said: "We are working closely with the police to identify those involved to ensure that they are prosecuted to the full extent.

 

"If required, the club will seek to sue individuals for civil trespass and obtain court injunctions to keep them off Preston North End property."

 

Mr Farnworth added: "It's your club and we need your help to stop this anti-social behaviour."

Former Premier League footballer Dean Windass is involved in bankruptcy proceedings.

Tax officials have said the ex-Hull City player owes them more than £150,000.

A specialist judge has overseen a preliminary Bankruptcy Court hearing in London. Mr Windass did not attend court but was represented by a barrister.

His lawyers said Mr Windass, 47, was trying to find a solution and another hearing is scheduled for December.

The amount of footballers that go bust after they have retired from playing is crackers.

 

Of all the shit they spunk their money on, rarely is "financial advisor" included.

 

Not to mention all the hangers-on who spring out the woodwork with their hands out as soon as footballer X makes it big.

 

Which is to say nothing of the fact that pro footballers are, generally speaking, utter morons.

 

And yet it still boggles the mind that anyone could lose so much money so quickly.
