We get only Sh15million from the gates and another Sh29million from our sponsors. The rest we have to raise from well-wishers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Going for continental tournament means we will need more money because honoring one match costs about Sh5million which means we will need more money,&#8221; Ominde told <strong>Goal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>He further added that the club will need even more money to hire players who can help them navigate the murky waters of continental football.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the luncheon, Gor Semalang&#8217;o the chairman of the youth enterprise fund and who hosted the team, warned fans of the club against hooliganism. He said this is the reason most corporates may not want to associate with the club.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are proud of what the club has achieved this season.
