"Mindless idiots" have launched an orgy of destruction at a football ground.

The vandals trashed the men’s toilet block, ripping out basins and smashing a urinal and blocking toilet pans with debris at Folkestone Invicta FC.

The damage at the Fullicks Stadium in Cheriton Road may amount to as much as £2,000.

A club spokesman said: “To say we are angry is an understatement. The people who did this are mindless idiots.”

Most of the damage happened in the men’s toilet block where the louts broke down the locked and bolted door to get inside, ripped two wash hand basins off their wall, smashed a urinal, stuffed and blocked toilet pans with toilet roll paper and other debris and damaged pipework.

They also broke signs above the club shop and caused further damage to the home dugout where the manager and substitutes sit.

The men’s block is on the far side of the ground near the club shop. The neighbouring women’s toilets and those further away in the Stripes social club were left intact.

The yobs struck overnight on Friday and Saturday and the horrifying mess was discovered by workmen at 8.30am on Saturday.

The damaged toilets were out of bounds when a match was played against Faversham FC that Saturday and spectators had to use the alternative facilities.

The club spokesman said: “Early estimates suggest it possible that the damage amounts to up to £2,000. We even need a new door.

“This look like wanton vandalism probably by kids and we are reviewing security. We had problems of kids getting into the ground outside hours some time ago but that was solved.”

A police spokesman said:“Officers are carrying out inquiries to establish the circumstances of the incident.”

Any witnesses are asked to call police on 01843 222289 quoting the reference number ZY/032613/15.
