Hide AdAnd in a sickening twist, pitch users Kilsyth Amateurs were baited by those responsible when the club showcased the damage on its own Facebook page.
Some culprits stooped to foul language and thinly-veiled threats in a bid to undermine the club and its fans – before stressing that drivers did a lot for charity.
Now police are examining the profiles of those involved as part of their enquiries.
A Kilsyth Amateurs spokesman said: “We are just one of the many clubs who rely on the pitch to fulfil our fixtures. These facilities are limited in Kilsyth so a lot of teams will have to look outwith the town.”
Meanwhile irate Councillor Alan Stevenson said: “The comments online were also a disgrace and the local community is quite rightly up in arms.”
