In a social media post about the break-ins, Annan said: "It is with regret that we have to be writing this post, but with the number of reoccurring break-ins happening at Galabank, something has to be done. 'Both the MUGA and the main pitch have been broken into over the past few weeks, with a number of items within the facility needing repaired at a cost to the club. 'We would like to state that we have CCTV covering all areas of Galabank and we have clear footage as well as names of all individuals that have been involved.
