http://tinyurl.com/3u9tocf VANDALS burnt an Australian flag, spray painted Nazi Swastikas onto and dug grave shaped holes into the pitch of a suburban soccer club in a senseless attack yesterday.
Zak Milenkovski, Altona Magic soccer club junior coordinator, said over $40,000 had been done in the inexplicable attack.
"We were dismayed, disappointed and gutted," he said.
Signs and goal posts were damaged and a window broken as a Swastika and a Greek flag were spray painted onto the ground of the soccer club.
Holes dug in the pitch are ankle deep and even when repaired may put players at risk of injury, according to Mr Milenkovski.
"It puts players at risk, it's like running in a park with pot holes everywhere," he said.
He feared those responsible were trying to make a political point on his club.
It will take six weeks to return the field to playing condition.
Police believe the brazen vandals struck the Paisley Park Complex at the corner of Mills and Ross roads in Altona at about 9am yesterday morning and are looking for a number of offenders.
