Of course ... "we won't bother'" would never fly (pun alert again) and not one I suggested, but as you know ... the caveat of 'reasonably practicable' would be considered and I would stake everything I own that as long as a club could prove that they have a pre-match cleaning regime in place, then a succesful prosecution on preventing a bird naturally depositing mess in an open stadium at any given time would be zero ... however, if there was no cleaning done then ... best of luck defending that position I agree!

Not on here to defend or not practices at your club but the bird muck issue is an issue many, many groiunds face all the time. Stadiums are open spaces and unless you can 'net' almost every nook and cranny (and its eye watering costs to do so) then our feathered 'rats' get everywhere! seats can be clean one minute then moments before the turnstiles open can find multiple seats covered in sh*t ... its a nightmare! never been able to find an total solution, wealthy clubs no doubt have an army of cleaners on their pre-match, during match and post-match cleans but many clubs will be on a wing and a prayer ... pardon the pun!

Thats not correct mate ... its not a traditional H&S Role ... its a Safety Officers role and thats a different role entirely and the requirement is a Level 4 Diploma Spectator Safety Management not NEBOSH as you correctly say is minimum for normal H&S jobs. Been in H&S for 25 years and work for a club in an H&S role. The advert for the OAFC job is correct.
