On Monday 4 August 2008 the Grass Roots Alliance for Social Sports (GRASS) was forcibly evicted from the Wembley Park Sports Ground in rough scenes and under sketchy legal grounds.
Using an existing eviction order from the Tent City Occupation and an eviction order on the Sports Ground businesses, Brent Council forcibly evicted the GRASS protestors. Then the council turned on the four squatters in the house on the site, evicting them without any prior notice – something maybe the Brent Squatters Association should look into.
A video of the eviction from that morning can be found here.

The day panned out causing endless disruption for Brent Council, as they grew increasingly frustrated at the protestors continuous actions to halt the start of work on the temporary accommodation for the Ark Wembley Park Academy, which is due to open at the start of term in September.
