Askern Villa have once again suffered a break-in at the Welfare Grounds.

This time it was steelwork that was stolen along with the steps for the stand which had not been fitted and were in the compound to the side.

A club spokesperson said: "It is a sign of the times, and things are going to get a lot worse around here.

"Askern is mainly a deprived area and, while the country is heading back into a recession, people will be looking at targeting football grounds and buildings to steal whatever they can to make a few quid.

"The changing rooms were broken into last February when all the copper pipes and boiler were stolen now they have been repaired and replaced with plastic.

"All we can do is make sure that the changing rooms are secure and hope for the best."
