Football
stadiums can get very messy as there are many fans which enter the stadium and
leave it in a unorganised and untidy manner. It really cannot help that
football fans generally see going to a stadium as a release from the pressures
of daily life and actually endeavour to make it a fun occasion, full of alcohol
and cheering. This can lead them to be a little too relaxed however and make
the football stadium not a very tidy place.
There are
numerous reasons why cleaning a football stadium is important. The first is
that often a football stadium needs to be in good condition to attract the
fans. Although they will be in a relaxed mood as they queue to get into the
football stadium, they still want it to be clean and in good condition. If it
is not, it can be a deterrent to them entering the ground and cause a lot of
problems.
The first
may be that football clubs will lose revenue from fans not going into the
ground. This could affect their long term financial future and it could really
make them not be solvent in the future and even shut down if they lose their
fanbase. This is a serious issue and one which may not always be cured if the
stadium is not clean.
There are
also health and safety reasons
which mean that the football stadium should stay clean. If there are many food
packets, empty beer cans and other litter strewn all out all over the place,
then fans could trip and harm themselves. This is not a situation which any
football club wants to find themselves in as this could mean legal action and
some hefty fines coming their way. Furthermore, it could also have the
implication that they get a bad reputation in the community if they are seen to
be 'damaging' their fans and not caring for their welfare as the stadium is
cleaned insufficiently. This could mean that people are more wary to come to a
football match concerning them and this could lead to them not actually
entering the footballing equivalent of being financially solvent, which is what
most clubs would want.
Furthermore,
another reason for getting football
stadiums cleaned is that one should always want to have things clean so
that the fans can enjoy themselves. For a lot of fans, they just want to come
to a ground and be happy with the conditions and just meet up with their friends.
They do not want to be bothered by the irritations of not having a clean
football ground. It is a real highlight of their week to come to a football
ground and the last thing that they want to do is to be bothered by litter and
mess.
If a
football team keeps their ground clean then this can have some important
benefits and really build a rapport with the supporters. It can attract trade
and look after the financial future of the club.
