I think a few here are guilty of picking and choosing the comments from the article that fit their own views.
Seems to me that there’s more being talked about than simply clearing up after games, which obviously is covered in rates etc. Spurs seem to be moaning that the area is a dump, and expecting the council to pick up the bill for various gentrifications that the club want to see. Resurfacing roads and making the area pretty etc.
Don’t see why this needs to be a binary thing, if the club want the area spruced up a little, why don’t they work with the council and offer to fund some of it. If it’s going to help the clubs image in the long run then it’s likely worth the investment.
