A stadium spokesperson said: “We were disappointed that the DW Stadium was again subject to vandalism on Sunday, and we have reported the damage to the police.

“Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time the stadium has been subject to this kind of vandalism in the past 12 months, which is especially frustrating as we continue to look to invest in improvements to the stadium.”

Anyone with information is asked to ring the police on 101 or the freephone Crimestoppers line anonymously on 0800 555111.
