POLICE are investigating after a portable cabin-style toilet block on the grounds of Musselburgh Athletic Football Club was set alight on Monday evening.
Firefighters arrived at Olive Bank stadium just after 10pm, using a high-pressure hose and two breathing apparatus to put out the blaze.
The club has regularly suffered at the hands of vandals, who last year did so much damage to the same cabin that it was left unusable.
Facing a bill of several thousand pounds for repairs, the club has since decided to build an entirely new block that will house toilets and an additional committee room, and be fitted with CCTV cameras.
However Monday's fire means club members now want the cabin to be demolished as soon as possible due to safety concerns.
"There is still a shell there but the inside is burnt out and there's damage to the walls," Davie McGlynn, the club's manager, said. "It's very dangerous.
"It its not nice to have it happen. It will be kids mucking about."
Those with information are urged to contact police.
