⚽️🏕️ Unexpected guest alert! A group of Travellers have set up camp on the playing fields of Kimberley Park in Newport, creating a bit of a stir. As a result, Albion Rovers FC has had to put a temporary halt on all training sessions and matches. The club is working closely with Newport City Council to sort out the situation, but for now, everything is on pause.
This isn’t the first time this group has impacted local events. Previously, they camped out on school playing fields in Monmouthshire, leading to the cancellation of a sports day there as well. Albion Rovers FC is actively communicating with those on site and promises to keep everyone updated on their social media channels. Your patience and support are much appreciated during this time.
Meanwhile, the Travellers’ earlier presence at Caldicot Castle didn’t stop the Dubs at the Castle festival from going ahead as planned, but it did cause some disruption. Local officials are discussing the need for more authorised sites to prevent these situations from moving from one place to another. Let’s hope for a speedy resolution so that everyone can get back to their games and events! ⚽️🌍💬
Stay tuned for updates! 📢
