A SPORTS centre is "appalled" by lockdown-flouting vandals who allegedly wrecked a football pitch.
Grounds at the Firhill Complex in Woodside appear to have been targeted by vandals who broke through the centre's wire fence and tore up a five-a-side pitch.
Pictures show a section astroturf which was cut and lifted up before being abandoned on the ground.

The Firhill Complex's boss said they were "disgusted and appalled" by the attack and that vandals could "jeopardise our future".
The incident has been referred to the police and the Firhill Complex have reportedly handed over CCTV to officers to aid their investigation.
In a later tweet, the centre's managers said: "The Trust was currently trying to improve our facilities before Covid- 19. This would have been the one and only five-a-side pitch we had left to use if we manage to re-opened to bring us an income.
