Fire crews were called to the club off Northampton Road on Sunday at 6.15pm after a fire in a litter bin spread to a fence and then to a stand for spectators.

Club groundsman Kez Dunkley said: “It’s just mindless. A lot of people put a lot of time and effort into this club, most of them volunteers.” Anyone with information should call the police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
