Worries over state of Aberdeen cricket pitch after Travellers set up camp - Aberdeenshire

From the Evening Express

CONCERNS have been raised over the condition of an Aberdeen cricket pitch after Travellers moved in just weeks before the start of the season.

An illicit encampment has sprung up near Aberdeen’s Beach Boulevard.

The land is due to come back into use in just three weeks as local league fixtures start up again on April 26.

Aberdeenshire Cricket Association secretary David Jones said: “This has been a problem over the last couple of seasons with people arriving without a lot of notice, and we have to wait for the council to get an eviction order to have them removed.”
