Second Break-In at Campbell Park Leaves Club Angry and Frustrated

Match Updates

Saltcoats Victoria F.C. is heartbroken and furious to confirm that our clubhouse at Campbell Park has once again been broken into—this time on the evening of Saturday, 31st May 2025, just days after a previous break-in on 23rd May.

Let us be clear: Saltcoats Victoria is a small, volunteer-run football club, built entirely by the hard work, passion, and goodwill of local people. After the first incident, we did everything we possibly could to secure the targeted access point while we awaited full repairs. Despite this, these reprobates returned and violated our space once again.

To those responsible, we hope you enjoyed the last drops of nearly empty bottles you helped yourselves to. If that’s what you’re willing to steal, it says a lot more about you than it does about us. You didn’t just take from a building—you took from a community working to do something positive.

This isn’t just criminal behaviour—it’s an attack on the spirit of a club kept alive by volunteers, supporters, families, and players. Every time this happens, it means more money, more damage, and more heartbreak for people who are already giving up their free time to support local football.

We’re now appealing to the public for two things:

  • Help us identify these degenerates: If you saw or heard anything suspicious around Campbell Park on Saturday night, please come forward.

  • Support us in any way you can: Whether that means helping with repairs, donating, or even just sharing this message—it all helps.

We have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help us recover from this second break-in and secure our facilities properly.

The funds raised will go toward:

  • Emergency repairs to the clubhouse

  • A new roller shutter, secure door, and high-security locks

  • Replacement of stolen stock

  • Installation of security cameras and alarms

  • Supporting the running costs affected by these events

If you have any information that could assist in identifying those responsible, please contact us directly via Facebook, email saltcoatsvictoria@gmail.com, or anonymously via Police Scotland by calling 101.

Enough is enough

We thank everyone who continues to stand by us and support Saltcoats Victoria during this challenging time.
