Fans raise £4,000 after football club arson attack
Bristol Post
|July 29, 2025
A FUNDRAISING campaign launched after an arson attack on Bristol Manor Farm Football Club has raised nearly £4,000 in just a day.
-
Staff and supporters of the Southern League club were left “devastated” and “heartbroken” after the vandalism caused thousands of pounds of damage at the NL Services Stadium in Sea Mills.
Police started an investigation after a car was driven onto the pitch and set alight in one of the goalmouths on Friday night “exploding” into flames. It meant Saturday’s home friendly against Avonmouth had to be switched to an away game and there are doubts about the club's ability to stage home games at the start of the new season.
