Watford FC fan group offers to clean up after promotion party

A Watford FC supporters group offered to pay for a litter clean-up in the town centre after fans celebrated promotion to the Premier League.

Fan group the 1881 Movement made the offer after rubbish was left in the High Street after the Hornets' 1-0 home win against Millwall on Saturday.

A Watford Borough Council Facebook post thanked them and said it was what made the club the "original family club".

It said it did not need to take them up on the offer.

Watford's victory on Saturday secured automatic promotion and fans - who have not been allowed in the Vicarage Road stadium under Covid restrictions - gathered in the town centre to celebrate.
