The high-pitched scream of Police sirens descended again on a football pitch yesterday afternoon when a mel?e broke out in the parking lot of Southampton Rangers' Club.

But football officials said the fight had nothing to do with football or the club and had occurred after the match between first division PHC and Social Club had ended.

Police cars raced to the scene at around 6 p.m. as large crowds gathered in the car park at the South Shore road club.

Police spokesman Robin Simmons said one man was treated for wounds after being assaulted.

The incident follows the baseball bat attack on Devonshire Cougars' soccer player Shaki Minors two weeks ago in a scene which one witness branded "an all-out war zone".

Fights and reports of drugs around the club have raised concerns in the community.

One Horseshoe Road resident rang last night to call for Rangers club to be closed down until club officials got a grip on things.

He said: "It's right next to the most beautiful place in Bermuda, Horseshoe Bay, but you get exposed to the language and fighting. It's ridiculous."

He said youngsters were exposed to bad language. "You can hear the shouting going on inside. It's quite horrible.

"So many complaints have been made about it but nothing has been done. It goes on every week with the Police attending.

"It doesn't seem as though any responsible person is controlling or governing the club. It should be closed down until such time as someone runs it properly."

"Most of the neighbours don't like to say anything because it is a drug hole. I don't know if the licensing people know what it is like."

But Southampton Rangers' president Aldwyn Savery said Sunday's incident did not involve any one from the club nor had it taken place in the premises but rather had occurred in the car park.

He said: "It's nothing to do with Rangers' players or people."

Mr. Savery said he had twice called Police when he saw the build up of people in the car park - first at around 2.30 p.m. after a under 19s match and then again at 5.30 p.m. but he said he did not see any trouble.

"Of course this concerns me, everyone says it's football but it has nothing to do with football," he said.

He called for two Police officers to attend every game. "When they are here nothing happens, when they are not everything happens."

Asked about allegations drugs were dealt around the club he said urged the local community to get involved.

"We do a lot in the Southampton community. People need to give us a hand."
