Not sure if this will affect training at all? Not ideal preseason preparation if so, hopefully the club can still use the sports centre and the other pitches

States that a load more are expected! So why can't they stop more going on private land?

Not sure that the Uni can but the Police could by putting up a sort of human barrier at the traffic lights stopping them from gaining access to the Campus.

Problem is that their is a lot of open areas around the campus that the travelers could make use of; around the medical centre for example.

Was at the Uni this morning and noticed all the caravans on the pitches to the right of the traffic lights. Not on land that our lads have been training on. A Uni bus was blocking entry to the Sports complex just in case the travelers tried to get onto another area I assume.

Can only envisage the mess they will leave when they finally depart. Dogs running around totally unchecked and doing what a dog does..... :x :x :x
