Why should they use acts of hooliganism to vent \ntheir anger after losing a match? I was shocked that they broke the \ngate, destroyed chairs and threw stones in the stadium while hurling \nabuses at the club officials. It is not right at all,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe  have been looking for sponsors and part of the Keroche management which  had supported us financially were in the stadium. Which brand can  accept such kind of behaviour and still invest in the club? It is good  to tell them the truth even if I will be crucified. Unless they style  up, we are working on a mode of dealing with their criminal acts,\u201d he  added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veteran administrator hinted at a fine from the continental \ngoverning body, Caf, at a time when Gor is in deep financial crisis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGor\n Mahia fans don\u2019t learn and their actions have cost the team a lot in \nthe recent past. Last season we had to pay Sh2.5 million as fine yet \nthey are the ones yapping all over that the officials misuse clubs \nmoney. They are the ones who elected the current office bearers and are \nthose fines not paid from the club coffers?\u201d posed Aduda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aduda\n also took issue with a section of the fans who wanted to gain entry \ninto the stadium without buying tickets yet the online portal was open \nsince Tuesday last week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSome fans send one shilling \nto buy a ticket for a match worth Sh200 and above while others use \nforwarded text messages to show they have paid. We are fed up with their\n behaviour and something has to be done to stop them,\u201d he offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 18-time Kenya Premier League champions resume league action on Wednesday against Nzoia Sugar. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/aduda-hooliganism-scaring-away-sponsors\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEO Omondi Aduda is unhappy with the behavior of a section of fans following the match against USM Alger Additional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15226"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15229,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15226\/revisions\/15229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
