Gor Mahia officials have once again expressed concern over the prevalence of double and triple headers at the club’s home games. Since Gor Mahia is the primary crowd puller, responsible for almost 50% of the fans who attend KPL matches, the club will always end up loosing financially whenever there is a double header.<\/p>\n
According to Michezoafrika.com, alternating league matches especially double\/triple headers involving their club to ensure all teams get a balanced featuring on the double headers. The club has also urged KPL to consider putting them as an away team during these double header matches instead of always having them as the home team and further requested KPL to slot other teams like City Stars and Tusker FC in the earlier double header matches instead of the repeated appearance of Mathare United, Sofapaka and KCB.<\/p>\n
In some cases, the club is featuring in double headers at the City stadium while Nyayo and Kasarani are going idle. It is not clear why teams like KCB and Mathare cannot utilize Kasarani especially when you consider the proximity of KCB headquarters and the proximity of Mathare to Kasarani.<\/p>\n
And now that Dr Evans Kidero has been elected governor, perhaps the football fraternity can prevail upon him to refurbish Woodley grounds as the previous Nairobi town clerk Philip Kisia had promised. Remember Woodley used to host national league matches during the 1980s. A stadium like Woodley if refurbished and well maintained can sustain itself financially by hosting football games, gospel crusades and even rugby matches. Rememeber rugby is no longer a sport for the elite only. And given how densely populated the area is, Woodley can draw huge crowds.<\/p>\n
