Arsenal tackle mice invasion at Emirates
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may have thought he had enough on his plate with a hectic Premier League Christmas schedule without having to contend with unwanted intruders at Emirates Stadium. It has been reported that a council investigation from 14 months ago discovered “extensive evidence of mouse activity” throughout the club’s ground – including across the hospitality levels.
The Emirates is situated immediately next to the East Coast Main Line, and the proximity to the railway is being touted as a potential cause of any infestation. Although the issue has only just been made public, the club said they have tackled the problem. “The health, safety and security of our fans is always our first priority,” a statement issued by the club read.
