A rugby club has said it feels it is being "forced out" of its Surrey home by the local council.
Elmbridge Eagles Rugby League club has been unable to play matches at its home in Oaken Lane, Claygate, since 2016, when 52,000 tons of soil was dumped at the site by mistake.
Only 26,000 tons was meant to be placed there, to improve drainage.
Elmbridge Borough Council said it was pushing forward with a forfeiture notice issued in November 2025, claiming the club has been "in breach of its lease for an extended period".
"We're just receiving eviction notices, in simple terms," Kevin Rudd, the club's acting secretary, told BBC Radio Surrey.
