Spider plague hit Valley

The minutes of the last Fans' Forum have revealed that The Valley was hit by a spider plague over the summer with them weaving their wicked webs.

A fan said she was not happy with the state of The Valley for the opening game. Roland's representative said for the first game of the season the seats were not clean enough. He said it was not good enough and apologised.

He explained since then the club have been working with an external pest control company. Staircases and previous roosting areas have been cleaned. Feedback from fans suggest those areas have been resolved.

He also explained there had been a challenge with cobwebs. Because of the summer climate the stadium has seen an increase in the amount of spiders. The cleaning team are now using additional equipment to deal with cobwebs.

Anyone who has seen spiders in Australia might want to consider whether some examples were accidentally released by the visitors from down under at the end of last season. In any event, the cobwebs were a metaphor for what was happening to the club, now swept away by Lee Bowyer's broom.
