To think the poo from the police horses should be cleaned up?!

I live in a a city. We have a big football ground, which is on what is essentially an industrial estate on a busy through part of the city.
On match days, there are loads of police around on horses. Every time, the whole of this part of the city is littered with horse poo.

Match was yesterday. Today, as usual, all over the (pedestrian) walkways, there are piles of horse poo!

I'm not talking one pile where the rider wasn't able to clean it up. I'm talking piles all over the streets! We by no means live in a rural area and it's not like this is near fields and grassy areas. I understand that horses have got to poo but if they need to use horses then surely they need to make provision to clean it up??

Some fixtures tend to be more violent than others due to historic rivalry . Arsenal v Tottenham usually kicks off , if you'll pardon the pun, as I imagine other local derbies do. It depends where they are in the league tables , TBH . A few weeks ago I was on a train full of both West Ham and Norwich fans after a match , and I was dreading it, but actually both sides behaved impeccably . Apart from seriously crap singing on both sides .

No pretty much no in fact probably the opposite.

But all the factors that plom the history of the club for instance the club in question here was very badly mismanaged financially a couple of years ago which lead to them being docked points and nearly ending up with a winding up order, or if fans just think the owner is taking advantage and using the club for the money ie Mike Ashley at Newcastle frustrations will over spill.

Infact the presence of police horses is a good sign it's a preventive rather than reactive measure.

And yes was on a train going through Wembley a few weeks ago I'd forgotten it was the league cup final both Liverpool and man city fans brilliantly behaved
