Wilkie Road closed off last night. Man on pitch with gun. Was it Grant Holt practising his shooting?

Maybe it was AC looking to fire the 5th manager for not clearing the weeds

Holt saying he’s looking forward to the game tonight on Twitter.. France v Belgium that is. Why doesn’t the club just say he’s gone?

Wtf is a man doing inside Holker Street with a rifle. Armed police deployed - found to be a key holder to the ground, all with all the correct licence etc, but wtf, did he not think about the panic to someone seeing him and making a frantic call.

I’d love to know what the legitimate reason for having the gun was.
Maybe he was shooting the weeds.

Another bizarre day at Holker Street.

Who was the man with the gun and why was he wandering round the ground with a gun ?

He was from a pest control company apparently.

However, the club didn't inform the drama group that were using the Cross Bar for rehearsals which then led to members of the group locking themselves in and telephoning 999.

As ever with the club, a lack of communication causes chaos.
