    Default Arson attack -Thatto Heath training barn

    You may already know about this but over the weekend the training barn at Thatto Health ARLFC suffered an arson attack. Apparently there is CCTV of the culprits. However, the damage is extensive and although insurance covers some of the costs there will be implications such as increased premiums next year, loss of revenue, loss of venue for the many local groups of all kinds (not just those involved in rugby league) which use the barn.

    Ste Webster has set up a crowdfunding page to raise money towards repair costs. If you can help, either by giving some money or by spreading the message online or IRL then that would be great.

    Here is the link:

    The CCTV has picked up who did it and they’ve been identified. Only a matter of time until the police catch up with him.

    I play footy in the barn on a friday night (in the off season or when Saints don't play fridays). Its decent in there and a good set up.

    Recently, there has been some undesirables hanging about there. Disgraceful what's happened

    Great news. I'd like to see the culprit have to contribute to clearing up the mess both financially and through some good hard, old manual labour. Absolute oxygen thief.

    Then have an hour's 'practice' with the TH pack.

    I hate scum like this, who destroy stuff that means a lot other people, just for their own psychotic pleasure.

    I know you can't name names, but is it someone known in the area?

    How bad is the damage? The pictures on Twitter just show a hole in the side wall and possibly some of the astro-turf in a 3 x 3m area? If that's the limit of the damage, they have been very lucky the whole thing hasn't gone up. Hopefully there isn't any structural damage. I presume the building was also insured? It looks like a proper facility, so hopefully the owners will have insurance?

    Yes they’re insurers mate. They got very lucky it didn’t bring the whole thing down and the fire brigade got to it when they did.

    just scum. Never mind the outcome, make sure they and any known associates are named, shamed and pressured for as long as they choose to stay around.

    100%. One thing about TH, it's a real tight community club. I know a few people involved in one way or another and I wouldn't mess with any of them. I doubt the person responsible will be able to show his face in the area again.

    The sad thing is that the culprit has probably got a string of offences against his name & will just get another slap on the wrists instead of a good slapping behind the shed.

    Sad when this happens to community clubs. Guess the culprit is one of those who goes round acting all "gangsta" but hasn't the balls to get out on the pitch himself as he might get hurt.

    Err that’s Portico not Thatto Heath. The club is at the back of the old Emanuel Mission, backing onto the clegg.

    The start of Scholes lane is bang in the middle of Thatto Heath near the Railway pub & St Austins church . Must admit tho' I thought it may have been on that field that is in Portico
