Welling United Football Club appeal for information following swastika graffiti on pitch 

Welling United Football Club has appealed for information following graffiti scrawled on the pitch at Park View Road stadium.

Images appear to show the Club’s pitch defaced with swastikas, which reportedly occurred at around 18:00 on 12th October.

In a statement, the Club said: “Two youths broke into the stadium and used club equipment to paint an offensive slogan onto the pitch which also included racist symbolism. 

“Police were called to Park View Road on Thursday morning with evidence collected, including CCTV footage and an investigation is under way to find the individuals responsible. Welling United wholly condemn the acts of those involved and condemn all forms of racism and discrimination.”

The Club added that a reward is being offered “for any information that leads to a successful prosecution”. 

Campaign Against Antisemitism continues to act against instances of anti-Jewish racism in all sports.
