Hide AdExtra security measures were installed at the recreation ground last month after two dozen traveller families spent a week on the football pitches there.
But they gained access to the site via a different entry point this time.
Last month they broke into changing rooms and toilets during their stay and a clean-up operation had to be mounted due to human excrement and general waste left on the grass.
Last night four traveller families spent the night on Asda’s car park in nearby Handsworth.
