"Over the last three years the club has tried desperately to 'do the right thing' and attempted to work with the community - most of this has been very well received, apart from a VERY SMALL number of people who obviously believe they are the centre of the known universe," Ralph Mccaldon added.
Trowbridge Football Club is open to players from 5 years old and above and meet at Woodmarsh just off Bradley Road, Trowbridge.
The club's 1st team's next home game against Southbrook Football Club will be a fundraiser to raise money to replace the damage to the fences and to make it a safer place for children to play in.
The game will be on Saturday, 12, January 2012 with kick off at 2pm. Gates for the match will open at 1:15pm where there will be a youth exhibition game beginning at 1:45pm.
There will be a £2 entrance fee and hot food and drink will be available.
Ralph Mccaldon said: "We are hoping that the people of Trowbridge will come and support their community football club and send a clear signal out to those responsible for the damage that their behaviour is just not acceptable in our society."
The police have been contacted regarding the incident.
