SPURS fans are being blamed for letting their dogs poo at rival Arsenals lavish Emirates stadium.

The Tottenham supporters encourage their pets to do their business on steps leading to the entrances in secret night-time raids on the enemy.

Council cleaners at the state-of-the-art 430 million ground in Holloway, north London, have to clear up the daily mess.

Angry Arsenal fans have complained to their local paper about the fouling and the club has vowed to tackle the problem.

One, John OConnell, who lives near the stadium, said the dog fouling at the Emirates concourse and stairways was disgraceful, adding: I would rather Arsenal surrounded the stadium with barbed wire and have it patrolled by alsatians.

Fellow fan Graham Watson, 43, said Spurs fans take their dogs to the stadium to do their business and then dont pick it up after them. Its clearly deliberate.

They even have the cheek to wear their Spurs scarves. Ive seen dozens of them.

A Tottenham Hotspur spokesman said he was unaware of any foul

Unfortunately that is the case with a lot of all seater stadiums.They just don't have the same atmosphere as the old stadiums with terracing.
Pristine and pretty but soulless most of them.

I was talking to a mates dad recently when he was out here on holiday(an old Arsenal fan).When I asked him if he still went to the games he said no he didn't really like the place but also he reckoned it's not a real football crowd anymore.He told me you end up sitting next to plonkers with the money to buy a ticket(an achievent in itself)who know f**k all about the game.
Full houses every week but it's not full of real fans.

Unfortunately due to disasters like Hillsborough there will be no going back to terracing.

Germanys the place to be though..........safe standing areas etc...great atmosphere and exciting football.The UK authorities could learn a lot from the Germans but they won't because as usual they know best!

Yeah the German crowds are always awesome to, you could tell that from the TV screen at the WC, always singing etc. I love the aerial shot of the Nou Camp (Barca) looks like a purpose built nosebleed
