MS event #1 - sabotaged

[Missy-Q]

True, alot of kids wouldnt think about thier actions but if it was kids theyd probably just muck about jumping on them as i dont think theyd just slash up a load of bunkers for no reason anyways my guess is a group of older boys around 17-18?

Are you part of a 'gang of kids' and that's why you refuse to believe that it is likely to be a 'gang of kids' responsible?
I would consider a gang of 17/18 yr olds to be a 'gang of kids'. Does that make me super-old or something?
I seriously doubt it would be anyone that travelled there, so lets assume it's locals. Typically adults don't do this sort of thing. It's unlikely to be one individual - more likely to be a group. So we're back to a 'gang of kids' (not your gang though, obviously).

seems a bit excessive to slash 2 entire fields plus netting for kids just messing about being stupid.

SABOTAGE AT THE MILLENNIUM'S FIRST 2013 EVENT - PUGET 9TH APRIL 2013

Last night, despite security being present, person or persons unknown broke into the Millennium site in Puget and destroyed two fields of bunkers & large parts of the netting systems. This cowardly and unprovoked attack will not affect this week’s event as The Millennium has always had contingency to deal with damaged equipment, normally expected due to bad weather not sabotage. However, it will mean the Millennium staff having to work through the night to rebuild & replace the damaged equipment, but rest assured The Millennium as always will provide a world class event despite this setback.

In all the years of holding events throughout Europe, we have never had such an incident which is clearly designed to undermine the series for whatever reason. This incident is now under Police investigation and The Millennium will offer a generous reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.

At the end of the day nobody gains from such actions, it affects the teams, sponsors and all participants. It is a very sad state of affairs that some people in our industry feel that this is an acceptable way to behave.

Security will be vastly increased with the assistance of the local Police & Mayor’s office for the remainder of the set up and event itself.

Any information received will be treated in the strictest confidence and with gratitude.

Ok, so they are claiming it is someone within our industry. Wonder how they deduced htis or whether it is an assumption.

big assumption to make.

 

[Missy-Q]

big assumption to make.

True. It would be, but if they have no idea who did it, how could it be anything else?

 

[Dusty]

Unless they knew it was an inside job. Let's face it, it is the MS. There are no boundaries

 

[Missy-Q]

Can Pedro vouch for his whereabouts at the time of the incident?

 

[Cook$]

And to think, I voted for him.

Sounds very fishy to me tbh !! since when have the mills ever had the field up a week before the event ?? normally a few days yes but a week ?? Sounds like so kind of cover up to me at the sacrifice of two fields against another european tournament which has taken alot of its business.
