Rubbish!

[SLO_BFC]

There's always a huge amount of litter left in the stands after games (bottles, wrappers, pie trays etc). Some of it attracts pigeons and seagulls. Volunteers come in on the following days to sweep and bag it all up and clean the seats. Please help make that job easier. From tomorrow stewards will be standing by each exit at the end of the game with clear plastic rubbish bags. If you could take and drop your litter in a bag on your way out, that will really help with the job of keeping the stadium clean and fit for use.

A worthwhile post Steve.

Why don't they just install clear plastic bins in the ground?

All over.

Just attatch that ring somewhere in the ground.

More than one ofcourse.

Was going to mention about this topic, otherwise you have to carry it for ages at times trying to find one, which most won't do. When you exit via the north in a crowd sometimes you can't see it or its even been emptied so no bag in it.

So I am glad at the above suggestion, but is this at the exit to outside or the tunnels, as if people don't see people with bags they probably won't take it initially, unless this becomes common behaviour. But isn't it possible to have some on display around the bottom of the stand?

 

[1966_and_all_that]

The yoof in the North won't use the bins cos they're yoof, innit.

 

[Lytham_fy8]

Good stuff but a little too polite for me, people who litter should be shot in the face.

 

[Jaffacakes]

I agree with this post. But surely the club employ people to clean the stadium after each match.

 

[Tangerinemoss]

I certainly noticed for the Swansea game, a total lack of bins to put your rubbish in, carried mine out till I found one near Bloomfield Road. Maybe make it easier, Steve?

Seems reasonable….

Most, if not all football clubs have volunteers to help with stadium care…

Why should they? Can't humans not be selfish for once and take responsibility for their own waste?

 

[Love BFC🍊]

I have often thought why no bins around the ground. Makes sense to invest in some all the way around and in the concourses
If I have any rubbish I take it home with me or pop it in the first bin I see

My mum once snuck up behind a girl who’d dropped her chips wrapper on the pavement, picked it up and put it in her coat hood.. all without her noticing! I’d love to have seen her face when she got home and found it

I never drop or leave litter anywhere

Totally agree with that, but unfortunately we're a nation of litter louts who just don't get it.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Get some bins in and around the stadium..

There is a world leading supplier of litter bins at the end of Preston New Road who could possibly help out?

The standard of food at the ground is so poor that people should just bin it right away after they’ve purchased it,,,,,then shoot them in the face

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Please dont put your rubbish in the storage box we have for Big Bertha 3 like the other week

 

[Old_Laytonian]

Let’s get rid of plastic bottles and revert to glass bottles. They are more easily recyclable and you can throw them farther

 

[Tangerinetiltingatwindmil]

Not appropriate

Ok so let's throw our crap everywhere. FFS

 

[Curryman]

you just need to look at the mess in the Gents loo. paper hand dryers all over he place.

 

[koudo]

Isn’t the lack of bins because there’s a terror attack risk ie same as why there aren’t any bins in Manchester City centre?

 

[Hazi]

We need bins, walking down the stand with my little girl at the end with hands full is dangerous

 

[Mark_GT]

On a related note, the last time I did the foodbank at the Armfield some genius put half a can of cider in the wheelie bin. The collections are back up and running tomorrow but hopefully there won't be a repetition of this act of kindness

About time tbh. It’s completely stupid how theirs hardly any bins around in the ground. On numerous occasions I’ve asked a steward (or someone I thought was a steward), as to where I can put my empty drink bottle, or upon entering the ground, an empty can of coke. Most of the time they point at the floor and just say “Yeh leave it there” or in the concourse near the bar.
Why not have these bags in the locations needed the most. I always see a steward or two seemingly doing nothing, so all they need to do is stand there with a bag or a more permanent bin.
Perhaps this will improve the frisking that goes on to prevent flares getting in the ground and clogging up the airways of asthma sufferers.
Communicate.

Sorry mate thought you looked thirsty...






Of course not, what a whopper whoever did it

New volunteers on duty from this weekend through a new partnrship with the club. If anyone can bring donations in to help get things off to a flying start that would be brilliant ......

Clear bins

Designed so you can see what is inside them.

 

[Philbfctrois]

The problem is like at most football grounds there aren't enough bins so what are you meant to do fill your pockets with crusty pie ends or bottles with no tops

The whole thing needs a re think to be honest as I'm damm sure I won't be carrying a bag in my pocket for waste

 

[Philbfctrois]

Good stuff but a little too polite for me, people who litter should be shot in the face.

I litter all the time at a football match in fact i very rarely find a bin

I've always thought football is a place to litter as everyone does it

Must admit I did used to enjoy the crisp packets flying over your head with a strong wind, certainly beat watching the football under Worthington

In life I don't litter unless I'm pissed at a festival or something when again there arn't enough bins

remainder removed

 

[Mcewans Mullet]

Its remarkable to me that a gootball club, with all the money they throw at players, require volunteers to come and clean the ground.

Could you inagine if cinemas put out a call for volunteers.

 

[Satriale's Pork Store]

Should make the young apprentices collect it...

After they have cleaned the first teams boots!

 

[Bloodtangerine]

I just throw stuff in the floor tbh. Most of it is probably biodegradable anyway and the plastic bottles that drinks come in probably get picked up and recycled or something by one of those Enviromentalist types

There were times in the late 90s when the highlight of the day was watching the whirlwind of litter near the corner flags on the West Side.

 

[TangerineBayern]

The North isn't the dirtiest stand post match by any means.

Bet it’s the West with all those Werther wrappers!

 

[Block j]

No excuse for leaving litter anywhere ! A lot of parents are at fault, I see kids with pop/ crisp wrappers just left in the stands ! Bring a plastic bag our cupboards are full of them ! I don’t drop litter my kids don’t ,all in their 30s .Grandkids will will get the same education . Great idea by the volunteers

 

[seasidelytham]

And you can imagine what would happen to the bins and contents if they were a permanent feature.Ripped off the wall and potentially used in some inappropriate way. Sad but very true.

 

[Scratcher67]

Another episode of 'Only on AVTT'

Argument about whose fault littering is.

Put yer litter in a bin or bring a bag. Or get shot in the face.

Simple innit simpletons.

 

[Toastrack]

Bloomfield Road is our home.
And you don't drop litter in your own home.

Put yer litter in a bin or bring a bag.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

It's just a lack of education. There's hardly a litter bin to be seen in Japan but ironically it's the cleanest country you can visit because people there learn from birth that you tidy up after yourself. A lot of people here are just thick and selfish who somehow expect others to clear up their own mess.

There should be more bins, I agree, but if you put them around the seating area there will some idiots that might be tempted to put there hand in and throw stuff on the pitch.
I'm surprised your children don't teach you better manners though about littering with all the environmental stuff they are taught at school.

 

[1966_and_all_that]

I take a small backpack and put all my rubbish back in it to dispose of when I get home, so not me.

A quick aside Bayern. Went with friends yesterday afternoon to a newish place in Kirkham called the Bierhaus. It's owned and run by a German family and has Bitburger and Ayingerbrau on draught with a food menu majoring in German sausages. It also has a couple of real ales on. Not cheap but worth a look.

Most amused to see the bollards outside our house 500 miles away come from the same source!

 

[Dark_Side_of_the_Lune]

I blame the EFL. Time was when we could chuck anything we wanted on the pitch when we’d done with it

 

[Davepick]

How about announcements asking people to put their water bottles etc. etc. in bins.
Or, better still, announcements asking them to take their rubbish home with them.
Cameras around and anyone throwing rubbish down gets a 4/5/6/ match ban.
A bit difficult to organise I know, but got to start somewhere.

I really don’t think we can afford to start banning people for littering.

We’d be better off incentivising the general public to come to a game and bring their litter with them
