    No but it is the wickedness that a deluded individual has done it out of deep resentment and respect for our club. A few marbles wizzing around in his head.

    The VP Joiner/handyman was just screwing the little metal bollards back on when I passed about 11.15.
    He had already repaired the marble facings, he showed me the trolley that had been used.
    He showed me a photo on his phone of the Leeds writing which was under the facing that he had fixed.
    I wish I had asked him to forward it to me.
    I worked with him for many years and believe him.

    It was more to point out that the builder is likely to be in existence.

    And that's just another reason why, not that we need another to have such hatred for them.

    Dirty bastards

    So sad that someone would do this. I can't imagine the motivation.

    I hope there is adequate CCTV in the area. I'd understand if there wasn't, who expects this, but I hope there is some good footage of the scum who did this.

    Name and shame and a bit of jail time.

    In this Day and Age, I can't believe there isn't CCTV or other security footage, even a ring doorbell from a property nearby which would shed some light on who was in the area prior to this happening.

    Get it plastered on Calendar, Look North, X and the T&A and invite any persons in such footage to explain themselves that night. There can't be to many people wondering round that area in the dead of night.

    Part of our fragmented society unfortunately. Some have no respect for nothing or nobody. When I was younger you weren't even allowed to walk on certain parts of the grass in a park. Now it's football on the bowling greens or bikes being ridden through the flowers. Cemeteries now have stolen items from loved ones graves. As stated in my first sentence, unfortunately some parts of society have no respect for nothing. Sad.

    Tragic society we live in am afraid and annoying to think these people share the same air as us
    If and it's highly unlikely the offender is caught they will get nothing but a slap on the wrist and told "not to do it again"
    Should the police have been called no doubt a crime reference number was issued and case already closed
    No deterrent whatsoever !!!!
    Sad Sad Sad !!!!

    Just had a look on Google Maps, there is a CCTV camera just next to the memorial, lets hope it was working. If it doesn't actually cover the memorial it must at least cover the only entrance and exit points to the site. It's in a good fixed position looking at the stairs and towards the gates from the corner of the building, there is also a second fixed camera at the top of the stairs.

    There really should be good footage of whoever was there.

    Old saucy jack, he/she really hates Heginbotham and Tordoff if memory serves.

    It is beyond belief that anyone would willingly attack and damage a memorial.

    Disgusting. Hopefully they will be found, outed publicly and made to apologise in person to the club and fans.

    Perhaps a lap of dishonour at the next game if identified
