Thank you, Chris for bringing the topic back on track. Let’s keep the egos strictly to PM eh  ::) I feel very bad for the club involved, I really hope they can get over it regardless of donations.

I must be really old  :(

I always thought you celebrated after the exams.. but hey, maybe they still do, but they celebrate before as well now.

I worry about today's youth, one  bottle of vodka between four, so badly affected their judgement/moral senses?

Or was I that much more hardened to alcohol back then..

Still - its good to know the real culprit and instigator of the entire mess and hopefully the football does indeed get properly punished for starting all of this.

The club were on our local news a couple of days ago, since the final total raised was just over an amazing £106k!! They were filmed at another local show last weekend with a layout that had been tucked away in storage, so the show goes on, albeit in a limited fashion for now. The club chairman said that they were blown away by the generosity of donors, and they plan to use the funds to not only rebuild, although as a member pointed out you can't replace all the hours and years of work that went into making the original layouts,  but also to start youth projects to try and get youngsters interested in the hobby and get them involved more. A very plausible idea I must say.

Good for them, and even better they have ideas on how to move forward with the generosity and support they have received.

Its a shame it had to happen but at least there is something good to show from it.

Latest update from local TV is that there are 4 juveniles appearing at Lincoln Youth Court  on August 19th, 3 16-year-olds and 1 15-year-old. So, I wonder what will happen to them.

Well that's old enough to know better.  :-[ (and be treated as adults perhaps)

£500 is too light in my opinion, especially when one layout was worth £15k.

Thanks for the update, this story was truly amazing.

Nothing. It’s the UK and they’re juves - boys will be boys, and all that.

Fucking farce

Whilst I agree a £500 fine isn't much compared to the many thousands of pounds of damage caused, I think it's reasonable and people need to look at it with some perspective.

The court could fine them the total cost of the damage caused but how could teenage boys ever pay it back?
