Travellers set up outside Enfield Town FC ground - London

From Enfield Today

TRAVELLERS have set up camp in the car park of a football stadium and at time of press were refusing to move on from the site.


According to the match secretary of Enfield Town Football Club Keith Wortley, this morning five or six caravans appeared in the car park of the Queen Elizabeth stadium in Donkey Lane, Enfield.

However, although the Travellers were engaged in a stand-off with police and council officers who were seeking to evict them from the site throughout the morning, Mr Wortley insisted that as far as he was concerned Tuesday night's match with Harlow Town is planned to go ahead as normal with kick-off still scheduled for 7.45pm.

A council spokesman confirmed that the authority was trying to evict the Travellers from the site.

There is no official provision for Travellers anywhere in the borough.
