Travellers have set up at Hamlin Lane playing fields in Exeter – putting this weekend's football fixtures at risk.
Around 20 caravans are understood to have cut through barriers this morning (Friday) and forced entry into Hamlin Lane to set up camp.
Hamlin Lane hosts up to five full-sized football pitches and changing rooms and is the home of Stoke Hill AFC.
Club chairman Paul Howe said: "This puts at risk this weekend's games and I am currently awaiting further guidance from the policy and council authorities around what we can do and what will happen this weekend for the Exeter youth league games, Fresha games and Sunday games.
"I will keep everyone posted. This the last thing we need as a club when the season is starting this weekend for us at home."
Exeter City Council and Devon and Cornwall Police have both been notified. Updates when we have them.
