AN ABERDEEN soccer school for hundreds of schoolchildren was today thrown into turmoil after Travellers set up camp on the pitches.
More than 30 caravans have parked up on the playing fields and nearby car parks, with the start of the Aberdeen FC Soccer School just days away.
About 700 children are set to attend the two-week camp, which is due to be held at the Balgownie playing pitches in Aberdeen’s Bridge of Don.
