A club spokesman, who did not wish to be named, said having to play on a different pitch at the venue had resulted in a “bad outcome” for their league campaign.
“We knew there was an event going on, but we didn’t know it would result in us not being able to use the pitch,” the spokesman said.
“Although there is another pitch we could use, it did not meet our league rules and regulations.
“We fully understand that the club wants to interact with the community and want to celebrate a national event, but there are ample spaces and other spaces where they can place this floating castle.”
The club said they asked people at the site to deflate the castle and move it elsewhere, but they refused.
“We just reacted as if we did to help women’s football so others can continue to enjoy it,” the spokesman said.
