Prescot Cables now crowdfunding for replacement fence after over-zealous celebrations
The Merseyside club are appealing to fans to get their fence fixed after their fans broke it earlier this week by celebrating too wildly.
The Evo-Stik Northern League Division One North side surprised National League outfit Southport on Tuesday night by beating them 2-0 to win the Liverpool Senior Cup.
The home fans piled forwards to celebrate with the players, and the fence collapsed.

Now, though, the club are appealing for fans to dig deep to contribute towards a sparkling new one.
The club said on their fundraising page: "We have surveyed the condition of the perimeter fencing around the pitch and we have concluded that we need to carry out replacement works to 50% of the fence, as well as some other works to barriers in the main stand.
"We are a Community Interest Company that is run solely by volunteers for the benefit of the local community.
