They should try this at the Boro...  :D

Dozy workers near York have become a laughing stock after putting up a fence straight through the middle of a football goal.

The six-foot metal fence in Heworth was erected as part of a £37,000 initiative by the local parish council to improve the play areas.

But when the workers turned up to erect the £6,000 fence they managed to ruin the pitch completely by running the fence straight through one of the goalmouths.

"It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time," said local man Steve Barber, whose team use the pitch.

"Common sense would have gone a long way. It's one way to defend the goals, I suppose!"

Council chiefs have already owned up to the blunder, with the goalposts set to be moved and the pitch repositioned.

"We recognise that failure to relocate the goalposts is a real own goal," said Dave Meigh, City of York Council's head of parks and open spaces.

"We have asked the contractors to resolve the issue as a matter of urgency. We can only apologise for the error."
