Shut it Henry! Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Sorry, had to get this off my chest! I got a call this afternoon from 1 of the lads who was up checking the pitch. After we played on it on saturday, he went up to see how it was faring before the league kicks off this weekend. When he got there he found that some little "angel" had decided to smash, not only the home changing room window but also the double glazed front door window. They had also had a go at the window next to the main door but failed to break it, instead leaving a nice cracked effect on it! The target was the half full fridge of beer we had!!! The way it looks is, they tried to get into the bar through the home changing room, but when they couldn't get through the inner door climbed back out and attempted to go through the window next to the front door. Failing to break this must've pissed them off because they mustered the strength to smash the window in the double glazed front door leaving them a free run to the fridge! The "funny" thing (I say funny because it's a laugh or cry situation) is that when they went into the changing room they walked past and left 6 footballs (granted not great but still in fairly good nick) and my bag which contained new gloves (and clean boots which weekly I get asked if they're new, just because they are clean and not caked in however many weeks of mud!) which I'd left there after last weekend because I knew we were home this saturday. When they went into the bar they also left a stereo, tv and freeview box!!! The thing is, is that we can cover the loss of a few cans of beer but it's the cost of repairs. We aren't a rich club and covering running costs for the 2 teams is about all our finance will cover. We will not only have to repair but also look now into solutions to stop the little darlings responsible from doing it again. I very much doubt it will be cheap. A great start to the club's centenary season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Take the booze home and leave a bloody great notice on the door saying that there is no beer inside. But there again how about a few bear traps spread around or a few snares. Bloody shame because I know how hard the club has worked on the club house.

Deano11 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Disappointing to hear I am happy to make a donation if need be, i think the best way though if the club are stuggling to afford it is to either raise money through sponsers for doing things like bike rides etc or maybe the forum members could get together and all donate a small amount each say for example £2 if 500 people did this it would raise £1,000 etc etc Let us know either way Good luck for season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut it Henry! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks for all your support and offers. We've managed to get it sorted at a good price and some of the lads are fitting it. The real cost will be adding protection to stop it happening again. If anyone has any ideas and price region it would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut it Henry! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello mate, I have a suggestion for you, some video surveillance **** Admin Edit*** Hello old man! How's you? Playing this season? The problem with video cameras is that they'd probably nick them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Last suggestion obviously a bit near the knuckle! Apologies to those concerned!! Yes young man I am well and enjoying my second season of rugby but hanging in there with veterans football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut it Henry! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 How are the brittle bones coping with that contact?! This could be my last season before playing Duchy again or maybe even trying veterans. Last saturday I was only just stretching to things I'd have had no trouble reaching a couple of years ago! I'm hoping it's only pre-season stiffness!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have warned you about trying to touch your toes before mate, leave it to those who are more supple!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut it Henry! Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I've seen how supple you are, but dangling it down the corner pocket up the Quay club wasn't something I'd like to see again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McHugh Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Well those were good times old boy but I dont do much dangling now!!! Have a great season and I will catch up for a few beers soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ronin Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 It must be contagious We finished the final touches to one of our new dug-outs last Saturday lunchtime & when we opened the club for the Man U/Portsmouth game on Sunday lunchtime we discovered that the inside of the dug-out had been sprayed all over with graffiti. Obviously someone thought it needed a bit of decoration The Police have been "helpful" but reckon it was holidaymakers - who the hell takes a can of spray paint on holiday!!!

Shut it Henry! Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I don't know what's wrong with the kids around Polperro. They've broken in again and stolen the sausage rolls for after tomorrows game. The poor darlings must be starved by their parents! Why?!?!?!?

You could try putting up notices in shops and around asking for info, and put on it that the police have been informed. You never know one of them might feel a little bad and grass his mates up :glare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shut it Henry! Posted August 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 What we're thinking of doing is spiking some cans & food with laxative. We may not find out who takes it but they may think twice about doing it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ronin Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 That's a brilliant idea!!! Mind you, you'd probably end up getting done for infringing their human rights to break & enter or something stupid like that - remember that farmer who got banged up for shooting some scroat that had burgled him about 20 times??
