MOLE HITS FIXTURES’ SCHEDULE

An itinerant mole caused Lincoln United to cancel a match in 2009 because it had left molehills all over the pitch. The club called off a game with Lincoln City reserves after the ground became littered with more molehills than the grounds staff could cope with. Wildlife experts reckoned the mole was probably a juvenile trying to find its own territory, although they admitted it is unlikely that the animal would escape the traps that were scattered across the pitch.
