Foxes catch mice... Leicester clean up their act after catering firm hit with bill for dead rodents and droppings in King Power stadium's food kiosks
You might expect Foxes most weeks at Leicester City's King Power stadium, but fans buying food at the ground might have got more then they bargained for - with dead mice and mice droppings being found at the club's food kiosks and executive dining areas.
Compass Contract Services, who run the stadium's catering, were hit yesterday with a £16,000 bill after pleading to three charges of contravening food hygiene regulations.
Prosecutor Nicki Agalamanyi told the court how 10 of 16 food kiosks inside the ground had evidence of mouse activity during a routine inspection by Leicester City Council last year.
She said: 'There were dropping in the Great Hall, the Walkers Hall and there were droppings on napkins on shelves in the Weller Lounge.
'There was a dead mouse in a cooking oil filter in a ground storage area.'
The Council said that the problem had improved since the discovery, and the inspection in March had resulted in the stadium being awarded a top-score food hygiene rating of five.
Compass insisted that a very limited risk was posed to the public, but admitted not putting adequate procedures in place to control pests at the stadium.
A Leicester City spokesman said: 'We are aware of the situation that unfolded 14 months ago with our stadium catering contractors, Compass Group, and the steps that have been taken to rectify the issues arising, including a change of management in charge of stadium catering operations.
'We sought assurances that health and safety procedures would be thoroughly reviewed and, following the award of a five star health and safety rating from the environmental health officers earlier this year, are confident these matters have been resolved.'

I hate these meaningless close-season stories. They really are shit.
