Barcelona have been accused of ‘carelessness’ following a report that first uncovered major hygiene problems at their iconic Camp Nou stadium back in 2013.
A recently published ‘due diligence’ report commissioned by the new board when they came to office in March highlighted ‘deteriorated facilities’ and concluded that both Camp Nou and the facilities at Ciutat Esportiva had been left in ‘precarious conditions’.
But a report initially conducted by a third party company eight years ago suggested that pigeon nests covered in excrement had caused a huge hygiene issue, especially as there was evidence of the excrement falling into food preparation areas.
“The situation was deplorable,” Toni Mora, who commissioned the original report, told local broadcaster RAC1.
“The word here is carelessness. The nests had probably been there for a couple of years, given the amount and size of them. If it was just a recent thing there would only have been a few twigs.”
